Get out of town

My roommates and I decided that third year is the year we are really going to start doing things. So when we all got back together in August, we sat down and made a list of everything we want to accomplish before the end of the year - really important things that we have to do before we graduate.

Love Connection

Phil Third-year Biochemistry student What extracurriculars do you participate in? International Relations Organization, People United by Music and Arts, Free Tutoring, American Medical Students Association What else do you like to do?


Life

Hey, baby, what

I really can't get over the way some people behave when they're out on the prowl at bars and parties.

Professing their love

In electing Teresa A. Sullivan as its eighth president, the University hired a top administrator who spent years at the University of Texas and the University of Michigan, two public schools whose mission and goals closely align with those of the University.


Life

Clipping coupons into adulthood

Grocery list: milk, bread, cheese, snack mix, frozen pizza, baby carrots, yogurt. It's when I start making grocery lists like this on Friday afternoon that I realize that I've become an adult. Back in high school, it was a fun outing to go to Costco with my mom.

Hoos for a manicure

The annual Foxfield Races attracts students by the bus-load each spring, and for girls, social and historical custom suggests a sundress, a hat and other accessories as proper attire.

6 a.m. calculus test

It is 11:53 p.m. My computer, calculus book, notes and perhaps tiny pieces of my sanity are strewn about my bed.


Life

In all seriousness

Sometimes I catch myself thinking too seriously. I like to think that thinking too seriously is a little different from taking things too seriously.


Life

Missed connections

You know who I'm writing about, and no, I'm not being creepy. Well, no more than the rest of you. You've seen them in the library, overheard them as they walked down 14th Street, in class, on the Corner.

The art of avoidance

How are you? My column could've just ended because those three meaningless words have become the ultimate conversation stopper ... except the problem is that this phrase is also the ultimate conversation starter.


Life

Operating under pressure

Question: If all of your friends jumped off a bridge would you jump too? Answer: How high is the bridge in question? At the ripe old age of 20, I have been an adult, at least in the legal sense, for about two years now.

Blaze your own trail

Fitness classes at the Aquatic and Fitness Center provide a release for students seeking time away from the regimented workload of University life while also giving them a chance to learn from an experienced trainer.


Life

There

The other day, my roommate and I decided to go to the new Starbucks at the South Lawn while on our way to class.


Life

Silly for Silly Bandz

Silly Bandz. These two words may elicit a number of responses which range from love to awe and amazement to disgust and absolute confusion.


Life

Segue from summer

There's nothing like a healthy dose of perspective. I say this because this summer, in between lifeguarding shifts and riding through the woods on horseback with my friends, I took the time to shadow my bone specialist to see what it's really like to be an orthopedist. I was fortunate to be able to shadow Laura Tosi, who is nationally renowned.


Life

A home away from home

As a brand new transfer student hundreds of miles away from her home and family in South Korea, fourth-year College student Hyoyeol Chong found herself with nowhere to go during the holidays last fall.

Transitions

I have trouble transitioning - most evidently seen in my eloquent, refined and incredibly messy essays.
