A little retail therapy can’t hurt

Hello again, my fearless readers. This week I would like to share with all three of you (and my mom) something that is truly near and dear to my heart, something that has had a profound impact on life in ways I cannot even begin to measure. Please forgive me if I begin to sound a bit emotional, but ...

We are not the problem

People often complain about our generation, saying that we are too technology dependent, too un-involved, you name it. They will often complain about the generation that follows them, perhaps because we, as humans, simply don’t like change. What I would like to address is the critical idea that our ...

The Clown Prince of Politics

Alright my loyal readers (yes all three of you), ready yourself for the most amazing and awe-inspiring reading experience you will have in the next five minutes. Today, I shall go stupidly where many writers have gone before, into the deep dark rabbit hole of political opinion. Specifically, a one Donald ...

Under Construction

If you have been even mildly conscious since last year, you may have perhaps noticed all the construction that is taking place around campus. There is really no way to miss it, as there seems to be a major development on every side of our school. All of these new expansions are part of President Reevley’s ...

Back in my day, kids used to socialize and run around outside, and everything ...

It's Valentine's Day: not really

Happy Singles Awareness Day! Err, no wait… Happy Capitalism Day!! Or maybe it is Happy Appreciate the Person You Love Day (even though you should do that every day, anyway?) Whatever you choose to call it, Valentine's Day is almost upon us. Oh boy. If you couldn’t tell from my characteristically ...

Is it really a big deal to burn a couch? - Fire at will

So we’ve all heard the stories before. It’s the same deal every single year. “Oh deary me, those darned hooligans burning couches are putting ketchup stains on Longwood’s tuxedo shirt” or whatever. The idea behind this tradition is that to celebrate the first day of no classes due to snow, ...

How to spend a wintery day

Snowmageddon is upon us everyone! Snowstorm Juan or whomever he was (I put a lot of research into my writing, if you can’t tell) has wreaked havoc on the East Coast. Farmville got a light dusting compared to more northern states, such as New York, which had to shut down its roads entirely. I realize ...

Why you should back the mac

The debate of PC versus Mac is as old as both computers themselves. Ever since Bill Gates and Steve Jobs built their respective machines and empires, consumers have argued over which is better. To my eyes, the winner is clear: only one of these companies is greeted by massive lines outside it's stores ...
