I

Environmental Science isn't a real major. Neither is Studies of Women and Gender or Urban Planning or Art History or Systems Engineering.

The only thing we have to fear

To anyone else, walking to class may simply involve placing one foot in front of the other. To me, it's a fight for my life against the University's deadliest and most terrifying creatures.


Life

Beauty of words

My favorite things in the world are words. Words strung together harmoniously. Words placed piecemeal in an uneven hiccup of a sentence.


Life

The Sound of Music

The last echoes of the Rotunda Sing had hardly faded when students began lining up to audition for the University's myriad of a cappella groups. With so many groups on Grounds, just about any interested student could find one that suits his tastes.


Life

Self-starters

If you haven't recently heard someone start a sentence with the words, "Well, in this economy ..." then you've been living in a cave.


Life

Cozy?

First-year students have it easy. They check a website that tells them where they live and who their roommates are.


Life

Back-to-school date spots

Hello, old friends! I hope you all had great vacations with plenty of hot summer romances - preferably with tall Europeans and Amazonian babes with foreign accents and rippling muscles.


Life

The next step

University students make many decisions during their four years at college, the most common of which usually include whether to live on Grounds or off, which internships to apply for and how to balance a social life and their studies.

Real Men Come in Floral Packaging

I think pretty much every guy at one point has felt the sting of embarrassment from a seemingly harmless action that appears to others as just a little girly.


Life

The Backyard

As the new academic year commences, the search for previously unexplored and exciting food options does as well, particularly for those students who are relying less and less on University dining halls.

How I handle fear

When I'm sad or uncomfortable or jealous, I generally use one of two defensive maneuvers: sleep or insults. When I was 16, my heart was broken into about nine pieces.


Life

Converted

I owe it all to James Van Der Beek. I admit that I am one of those pathetic girls who used to sit at home for hours just to watch a marathon of "Dawson's Creek." So it should be no surprise that one fateful summer afternoon I would watch MTV's "When I Was Seventeen" just to get a glimpse into the former heartthrob's life as a teenager.


Life

Cozy?

First-year students have it easy. They check a website that tells them where they live and who their roommates are.

App Madness

Perhaps contrary to popular belief, video gaming can be more beneficial than just having the opportunity to learn the secrets to World of Warcraft.
