Off the cuff

Quick takes on life from our editors

Mein Bowl

Easy on the onions, please. I’d prefer not to be crying by the end of my meal. But seriously, I think there is the equivalent of about one onion in every serving.

–Ryan

In love all over again

It has been one night and I’m in love with Philly. I think I might look for jobs here.

–Danielle

Conferences

Today will be a day full of work and learning, and running away from people trying to drag me to a haunted penitentiary. Tomorrow, I get to traipse around Philly.

Claire

Living it up

I am so thankful to have made it to Philadelphia in one piece. I’m looking forward to a day of learning more about journalism and hopefully some fun as well.

–Aleya

World Series

Congratulations Giants on winning the World Series, but I’m getting tired of watching you hoist the trophy every couple years. I think it’s time for the Mariners to win one … please.

Korbin

Happy Halloween!

“Thackery Binx, what took thee so long?” “I’m sorry, Emily. I had to wait 300 years for a virgin to light a candle.”

Reformation Day

Four-hundred and ninety-seven years ago today, Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of All Saints Church in Wittenburg, the Reformation began and the truth of Scripture was rediscovered. Truly, our God is a mighty fortress.

Hoops time

Basketball season is finally here as NBA and college basket- ball start this week. Anyone want to get out the ole ball and play a game of horse?

Stephan

Timing

It’s amazing — and slightly frightening — how much a situ- ation’s outcome can depend on a few minutes.

Daphne

Looking forward

Spring term and the terms following it are a distant blur in my mind. Summer internship? A work in progress.

Friendly advice

If you’re going to teach at the university level it’s probably not appropriate to make a KKK joke and then refer to your students as a “tough crowd” when they don’t laugh. It’s also probably in your best interest to learn the correct, non-offensive terms for different groups of people before you try
to tell an irrelevant story involving a minority and refer to them using derogatory labels because you “don’t know what the correct terminology is.”

–Kaitlyn

Watch out Moscow

If you see a person-sized ladybug around Moscow on Friday night don’t be alarmed, it’s just me doin’ my thing on Halloween. I might even wear my costume on Saturday and Sunday, too.

–Erin
