Don’t breathe
Flu season is here and many of you are sick. Please don’t breathe on me or near me. I hate being sick. If I’m going to stay in bed for a couple days, I at least want to be able to enjoy it. Keep your sick to yourself and stay home.
— T.J.


Shhh…
Hey, you hear that? No, seriously, listen. You hear that? That’s the sound of thousands of little kids attempting to play jazz music while NOT on campus. Or, in other words, silence. Sweet, sweet silence.

Proselytizing is fun
It was one of the best shows on television — “Arrested Development” was another. But “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” lasted more than three seasons, and while “Arrested Development” went out stronger than “Buffy,” it never really had the chance to jump the shark the way “Buffy” did after the fifth season. What I’m trying to say is this: If you’ve never watched the show, you should. And I’ll win myself another convert to our geeky cult.

Google streets

The ridiculous technological capabilities of our society are once again on display, this time in the form of Google street view. If seeing an aerial view of your neighborhood isn’t wild enough, it is now possible to view buildings in select cities from the perspective of a person walking down the street. I can’t think of any practical applications, but props to Google for doing it because they can.

Little in the middle

I was recently asked to be a bridesmaid in a friend’s wedding. My first reaction? Dear God, time to get these thighs and abs in gear. My second? Why the heck is my first reaction that I need to lose weight? I had my measurements taken for my dress and I found out I have a 44-inch hip measurement. But you know, I’m at a healthy weight. I’m a woman with curves. I have kadunkadunk. Bring it on, lovey dovey probably ugly bridesmaid dress. I’m not changing a thing.

Weird times

This semester has been weird for me. Even though I don’t have so much pressure in my classes I am feeling an overwhelming sense of pressure as graduation time approaches. My life will soon be drastically different and I’m not sure how OK I am with that yet. But, you know, I’m going to quit worrying and start thinking positive. We’ll see how that goal works out in the next few weeks.

Apartment bonus

Although graduating in May will bring new opportunities, it will also mean having to leave my sweet apartment.
However, it’s pretty cool of my landlord to offer a $50 finder’s bonus if I find someone to take my amazing and economical, pet-friendly two-story apartment with a fireplace and balcony.

Wash your hands
This is a plea to anyone who is currently coming down with “something” (which is practically everyone on campus). Please wash your hands and cover your mouths when you cough. I often can’t even hear in classrooms as almost everyone is coughing so much. It makes me shudder.
— Roger
