I have the musical preferences of your 55-year-old father. In honor of Halloween, a Rocky Horror-esque time warp will be necessary for me to reveal my musical taste to all you cool kids. Minus the jump to the left and a step to the right. While all you cool kids these days are tuning into [...]
The PAC-10 isn’t just for the football players; there’s a way for you to get in on the action. But don’t wait too long— this competition is already in motion. From October 25th to October 29th, the ten universities of the conference are challenging one another for a week long Recreation Challenge. The series of [...]
Awkward and Inappropriate things to do to avoid studying (in the library): Search for birthday presents online. This doesn’t sound like a very awkward thing to do, but trust me it can be. In my desperation I found myself on youtube, watching videos that might be able to help me in quest to find the [...]
Checking the weather forecast would have been the wise thing to do. I usually plan my long runs for Sundays. I tend to have more time those mornings and, let’s face it, I’m going to be procrastinating doing work anyway, so why not take a long run to get my mind off school for a [...]
Kids, drinking is bad. If you drink, your forehead will split open in pain, you’ll puke your guts out, and you will die. Not really. But that was definitely my opinion this morning as I slogged through my morning run, hungover. None of the above-mentioned afflictions actually came over me, but that’s what it felt [...]
“From that day on, if I was ever goin’ somewhere, I was runn-ing!” If any of you darling readers are unfamiliar with the above reference, I’ll tell you two things: first, that it’s taken from my all-time favorite movie, Forrest Gump. Secondly, you need to update your Netflix queue, stat. The film opens with little [...]
It’s nearly 1 a.m. on a Monday. I should be asleep, blissfully curled up against the cold in my trampoline-like dorm bed. But I’m not. No, I am sitting at my desk simultaneously sipping coffee, reprimanding freshmen for being too loud (who the hell parties at 1 a.m. on a Monday morning?!), brushing up on Russian vocabulary, [...]
I’m Gins, and I’m awkward. This is the Awkward Stage, a column about all of the horrendously uncomfortable situations I get myself into. Enjoy at my expense. I still see my pediatric dentist. About two weeks ago I sat in one of his undersized chairs and thought how uncomfortable undersize furniture is. Why would anyone [...]
The XX came onto my radar mid-2009 by whispers of enthusiasm that would propel them to be labelled as the next big thing to come out of the indie rock scene. Most of Britain agreed with this, so much so that the London trio recently took home the Barclaycard Mercury Prize. To Americans it doesn’t [...]
