Last week, “Justified” came to a glorious conclusion — a fact I was sadly reminded of when my 9:57 p.m.
One of the many perks of being an in-state student is living close enough to home to steal my dog away for a few days.
I didn’t always dread flying, but I do now.
Third year, at least for those not born over the summer, revolves around the number 21. Before the nostalgic bucket-list marathon of fourth year, third year brings 21st birthday season in all its glory.
I can’t be alone in thinking the University’s current roommate survey just doesn’t cut it. I, like many others, resorted to Facebook to meet my future roommate.
