A couple weeks ago, I woke up at 7 a.m with the goal to explore the Met. Of course, my reason for this was a school project, just nevertheless, I was motivated to divulge myself into the works of art from different countries. After a long 2 hour commute and a 5 minute cab ride, […]

It’s True: No more $15 for Printing when Filling out Teacher Evaluations
When I first heard about the Technology Fee Committee last semester, I was excited to join. As a freshman, it would be my first real opportunity to actively contribute to the college and potentially have an impact. Also, I was interested to know if the technology fees that each and every student pays (included in […]
DIY Presents for Men! :)
I received some verbal complaints that my holiday DIY post primarily relates to women and gifts for women. Therefore, I have taken the challenge to find several gifts that men will love to make as well as to receive! In several Asian countries, such as India, China, and Vietnam, it is a custom to make […]
“Old” vs. “New” New York
It seems that the subject people living in New York most enjoy talking about at bars and coffee shops is, of course, the terminal uniqueness of New York living – its workaday joys, trials, tribulations, etc. – or, if one or more of the conversants has been here too long, the discussion inevitably turns […]

I will try and refrain rom using that selfsame platform, though it might be difficult not to use a corner or […]
Books Do Exist

So Cheating Pays After All
Just yesterday Free Agent former Detroit Tiger shortstop Jhonny Peralta signed a monster contract with the St. Louis Cardinals. Jhonny Peralta was signed for 4 years for upwards of $50…
Black Friday Bash

I therefore consider it to be a personal affront when I hear mainstream media warn “Be careful, those crazy shoppers will be coming out in full force in less than a week!” Unfortunately, Americans who take advantage of sales on […]
