It happens to the best of us – allowing yourself to get too caught up in the moment and ending up with a mark that you don’t really want your friends, let alone GSIs or professors, to notice. Hickeys are those bruise marks that show up when kissing or sucking, and sometimes biting, the skin [...]
“Roses are red, violets are blue”…”Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?”…”How do I love thee, let me count the ways”…there are 1, 2, 3, an infinite number of poems about love professing love to a love (or lovers). Poetry has long been a method for iambic wooing, a platform for songs of infatuated [...]
Have you ever walked down an aisle of pink teddy bears whose giant cutesy eyes stalk you as they clutch giant red hearts to their chests? Or find out that the cute girl you’ve been eyeing in lecture is holding hands with a guy who isn’t worthy of her? Or have to awkwardly walk past [...]
To many people, next Tuesday will be like any other day. It’s not a holiday in the sense that classes are cancelled. Papers will still be due, and exams will proceed as planned. Yet, for several others, February 14 will be anything but ordinary. For some, it is one of the most exciting days of [...]

And yet with that comes [...]

The latter label is unfortunately far too easy to acquire in the drunken land of college parties, while the former is a tad [...]
The idea for this article was born on Wednesday night, when I was walking home after my decal. At 8pm, campus was already pitch black and freezing, and so I was moving at a rather brisk pace. However, I couldn’t help but eavesdrop on two highly inspiring snippets of conversation, and as a writer, sometimes [...]

You’ve spent most of the night dancing with this charming girl. You’re still a bit tipsy from the many drinks you’ve had. And so is she. It’s 4 in the morning. You’re enjoying the crisp night. Anyway, you’re not in a hurry. She was cold, so you gave her your jacket. You two stopped talking [...]
