Greetings, fellow Bobcats, and welcome to campus! I’m glad you’re here, and I’m sure it won’t be long until Athens feels like a second home.
I absolutely adore going to see the mainstage productions the Division of Theater produces each year. The actors, though still students, perform at a professional level, the sets are mind-blowingly beautiful and it’s all for free! What’s not to like? But it’s one thing to see a revered play be put on by a renowned theater school, and it’s another to see the same group produce an entirely new play that was written by one of its own.
From “it’s an ongoing investigation” to “that’s classified” to “it would be a threat to national security to tell you that” to citing “executive privilege,” government bodies — from the White House to the Athens Police Department — often don’t want information to be public. And typically there’s a good reason (for example, the Athens City School District this week did not want The Post to publish the location students are escorted to when there’s a bomb threat because officials worried it could compromise student safety).
I think I’ve finally learned that there isn’t a manual for how to live this life, and I’m so glad.
Do you raid the refrigerator or pantry for sustenance and end up consuming junk food? I get it — you’re tired, definitely not in the mood to cook and just want something quick that will satisfy your hunger cravings. What’s the big deal? Well, if the snack is primarily empty calories (processed foods or high-fat, high-sugar items), such routine behavior can be a main reason you haven’t yet achieved that coveted summer physique.
Who else is excited for summer? Lately, all I can think about is all the free time I’ll have in about two weeks to devote to, you guessed it, video games.
The older I get, the more I find that my excitement for the upcoming summer season is dying down.
This is the last edition of College Matt-ers. Here we go.
Jadeveon Clowney has become a household name in the football world.
The value of an opinion is the entitlement to it, and yet, that value has gone down in flames.
When you are about to enter a new phase in your life, it’s funny how past moments and memories come flooding back as if they had happened yesterday.
Stress is common in college and beyond. Thinking about obligations associated with school, work and home is in theory a good thing — after all, not meeting deadlines does in fact negatively affect one’s grades, job status, etc. But the omnipresence of goals, tasks and accountabilities can be unsettling, often snowballing into unnecessary and unwanted anxiety. It is the unavoidable aspect of mental processing that makes worries so parasitic, potentially rendering you incapable of enjoying life because you are overwhelmed by the stressors in it.
In lieu of a question this week, Kristin and Ian have decided to share their celebrity crushes.
I hate how expensive video games are. Trust me, I dish out the cash for my favorites, but sometimes I just can’t justify the $60 price tag for brand new games. I appreciate everything that goes into them to make them cost that much, but it breaks my broke college-kid heart to have to pass on some games I lust over.
I remember the first tour I went on at Ohio University. It was one of the reasons I came here, but I also recall the tour guide saying that one of the best things about going to college was the amount of free stuff there is and to be sure to take advantage of it.
Thousands will flock to an open field Saturday in hopes of getting hammered drunk in the sunlight and hearing the lyrical genius of rapper Wiz Khalifa.
