‘Green acres is the place to be’
We all have those creepy friends on Facebook – the ones that leave a million comments on your pictures, “like” all your statuses, probably live in a basement, and quite possibly have never shared an actual conversation with you. Because of their cows, crops and endless updates, I vowed to never...

Music: To delete or not to delete

I have five days worth of music on my computer. This is by no means the largest collection out there, but five days is a lot of music. What does anyone really need with 120 hours of songs? I have no idea, but I sure have a hard time deleting any.  There’s always the off chance I’ll want to listen...

The high cost of graduation

Your final semester as an undergrad student is perhaps the most nerve-wracking four and a half months of your life. The pressure is on to finish your convos (only 14 more to go!), complete your most significant work in college and find a job before your student loans come back to haunt you. In two months...

Report the facts – and feelings
