ADDerall… now over the counter!

And by over the counter… I mean from student to student.  Hey, our generation isn’t called Generation Rx for nothing.  When I Googled ‘adderall’ under the ‘news’ tab, I noticed that every result came from a college newspaper (Duke, Michigan State, Oklahoma State, Loyola Chicago, etc.)

Wait no longer… Women’s “football” is back in the US

I just finished reading a very good article in the NY Times titled “Another Go at a Women’s League, but Not Going It Alone “ by Jack Bell.  Basically, this article is about how there will once again be a professional women’s soccer league. The Women’s United Soccer Association ended after the 2003 season, depleting their [...]

I’ve been MIA lately, but here is the promised sequel to one of my previous posts titled ‘campus etiquette’… classroom etiquette!

 When you are one of the first to arrive to class… DO NOT sit in an aisle seat.  As much as you may like a butt/crotch in your face, as the room fills up and [...]

I’m a narcissist

Freak out time

I like to refer to this point in the semester as ‘freak out time’.  What that means (at least for me) is that during mid-semester, after you find out that you didn’t do so hot on your first exams, you start questioning everything you’re doing in life.
It all started with the 80 percent I got on my JRN108 test, [...]

Campus Etiquette

When you are at a college campus, there are certain things that should be universally known about how to act.
We’ll start with the walk to class.

When you are about to get in that awkward situation where you are walking in the same path as someone going the other way, GO RIGHT.  It’s like driving, you drive on [...]

Every holiday is an awkward holiday for single people

…it’s not just Valentine’s Day that single people loathe, it’s every holiday.  Don’t you think that there is a reason that Thanksgiving is the day that most drunk driving accidents occur?  (I’ll give you a hint: People drink when they become depressed/sad.  Single people become depressed/sad on holidays because they don’t have a significant other [...]

The addicting world of casinos

I write for The Big Green (see link on right side of page), which is a monthly online magazine for Michigan State students.  My story for the March issue is about gambling amongst college-ages kids.
The reason I want to write this story is because I have been gambling since the start of high school.  I [...]

Rejection Sucks

The feeling of rejection sucks.  I’m not just talking about the rejection people feel regarding the opposite sex, I’m talking about the rejection people feel in everyday life.  Stuff like having your credit card rejected, getting a bad grade on an exam (esp. one you’ve actually studied for), coming in last place at a golf [...]
