Our columnist adds two products from Tarte, carried at Sephora, to her makeup bag.

From the editor's desk: This week: letters, quotes and at least one typo

Hi, everyone.

Between the Lines: Famous feminist's stance should be standard

My name is Kristin and I am a fan of the f-word. The word that is so controversial and so offensive when said it strikes fear into the heart of good, sound-minded people.

Hope For Humanity: Coverage of Athens blackmail-for-sex case glosses over the real problem

Editor’s Note: Dorian Graham is a former receptionist for The Post who did not contribute editorial content to the newspaper.

BedPost: Love cannot prosper amid mixed signals and confusion

Dear BedPost,

GamerGirl: 2014's electronics forecast is bright (but expensive)

Is there a better way to kick off the new year than with a ton of new technologies that you probably can’t afford?

'Athens' song rounds out solid country-rock album

She doesn’t have the quirky lovability of Kacey Musgraves or the down-and-dirty, back-roads feel of a real country girl, but what she does bring is 100 percent rock ‘n’ roll and 100 percent her.

College Matt-ers: Student Senate needs new leadership

The Dec. 23 arrest of our one-time Student Senate President Nick Southall for disorderly intoxication was the straw that stunned the camel’s back, as it were.

Between the Lines: Don't let life's best moments slip away

Over the break, I had the opportunity to travel to Fairbanks, Alaska. In September, my boyfriend moved there for a job, and I hadn’t seen him since then, so I knew it would be an exciting trip regardless of the actual destination.

Keep You Wondering: Love isn't in the air; it's just pheromones

When reaching for your best perfume or cologne, you might want to think twice.

College Matt-ers: A report card for OU administration

In just a couple of weeks, Fall Semester will come to a close and students will receive their grades for the term, so it’s only fair to also dole out grades for the administration and the Board of Trustees.

Gamer Girl: Female gamers combat gender discrimination

I think it goes without saying that girl gamers are generally treated a little different than male gamers are — much to my dismay.

Between The Lines: Karate teaches discipline, not ninja skills

I have been studying Isshinryu Karate for nine years now, most recently receiving my Nidan Rank (second degree black belt) from Marcum’s Martial Arts Academy in Kent, Ohio. But despite the profound effects it has had on my life, I rarely if ever bring it up, knowing all too well that it will elicit ignorant responses such as, “Could you kill someone with your bare hands?” or “Do you have a license to kill?”

Science with Dan: Behavior during finals can affect well-being

In the next few weeks, the semester will be brought to an end. Our culmination of knowledge, or lack thereof, will be tested and these results may have a significant impact on our futures. I, for one, try to stay as calm, cool and collected as I can. Others fret and cause themselves to lose sleep because of the worry associated with failing. In previous semesters, I have witnessed students take what I can only guess would amount to years off their lives due to the stress that finals carry with them as well as the unhealthy practices that many employ into their studying regimens.

The PHILosopher: Every party must eventually come to an end

Animal House, for those of you who are unaware of the epic movie based on a fictitious fraternity in the ’70s, is the moniker we decided to name our house this school year. I bear a striking resemblance to John Belushi (who played John Blutarsky in the movie) and our goal for the school year was to rock the block as many times as possible. We accomplished that within the first weekend.

Green Beat: Another take on recent Nelsonville quake

In last week’s column, I noted that some estimates for the recent earthquake in Athens County indicated it originated too deep in the Earth’s crust for human activities to have been a factor. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the depth was 7.9 km, and this was the figure cited in the Nov. 21 article in The Post. So far, the story adds up.

That's a Wrap: Remake craze might cause trouble for Hollywood

Hollywood is consistently creating reboots, sequels and spin-offs of the same stories that in the past have gained the production companies a plethora of money.
