It’s the last full week of March. We’re excited about the NCAA tournament, the MLB season less than a week away and going outdoors without parkas, and what do we get? More snow and cold.
A heavy fact to weigh is understanding that our life began through our parents. The way we began learning, the advice we sought out in childhood all dated back to the years with mom and dad.
This weekend, I spent a good amount of time playing the new Tomb Raider. The times I wasn’t playing? I was pretending to be Lara Croft. But that is beside the point.
As hard as it might be to imagine as a resident of the United States, political instability is still commonplace on our planet. And by political instability, I don’t mean figures like Michele Bachmann claiming that Obama’s Affordable Care Act “literally kills” innocents; I mean coups.
If we asked our parents or grandparents what the NFL was like when they were in their teens, we would quickly find that the game has evolved quite a bit. But, that is not necessarily a good thing.
Arizona: The land of beautiful topography, rich Native American history, presidential also-rans and ridiculous forms of minority oppression.
Boy howdy, what an exciting weekend this was! As per The Post’s longstanding tradition of addressing only the most important campus events, I’ve been asked by my editors to describe the events of High Fest for our loyal readers. There is, of course, one problem with that plan, namely the fact that I didn’t actually attend High Fest and am still not entirely sure what a “fest” is.
My Chemical Romance broke up during the weekend. For my generation, the generation that was in middle school during the band’s peak, this is (sort of) a tragedy. At least for the kids who did not have inch-thick blonde streaks, Aéropostale T-shirts or friends.
I was bullied in school. From girls calling me fat to guys playing with my emotions and to an emotionally abusive friendship.
The Steubenville rape case has drawn national attention for the many issues it has forced us to (uncomfortably) explore, including the cultural idolization of football, social-media public perception, and the acceptability of egregious teenage behavior and gender roles, among others.
I’ve heard the phrase “bracket buster” for years, but it’s always flown over my head, along with terms of equally small importance to me: Carnivore. Pumpkin. Beer. Sense of direction. Tournaments. Who cares? I don’t have any interest in that stuff.
When it comes to equipment, the beginning angler might be quickly overwhelmed in his or her efforts to purchase a new rod and reel.
For more than a decade, Stone Brewing Company has been giving the world an annual gift. On Feb. 2, 2002, they released the first beer in a series — Vertical Epic 2. Every year since, they’ve released a new Epic, but exactly one year, one month, and one day later. The Vertical Epic is now number 11, and unfortunately that’s the end of the series. To commemorate, we’ll be reviewing the Vertical Epic 12, released Dec. 12, 2012. The craft-beer industry is built on the bedrock of novelties and puns, so the Vertical Epic 12 is sure to be a beer of epic proportions. It’s a beer so good it can give you vertigo. Or at least that’s what we’ve heard.
With all the sexualization in modern games we focus on, we sometimes forget to look back on some of the most notable classic video game women.
I’ve been in a bit of a rut lately, feeling under the weather, constantly stress-eating and consistently Googling such search terms as “are hummus and Wheat Thins bad for you?” while shoveling them in my mouth at an alarming rate and contemplating the fact that I’ve never stepped foot in Ping in my two years on this campus (I’m not kidding).
Someone once intelligently observed, “People don’t change, they just become who they are really meant to be.” Half of March is gone from the calendar and the air of summer is sweeping through my veins. I become dumbfounded when I think of my first days in Athens at a very young 18, filled with negativity at a life I had to part with and accepting the one I wasn’t in the mood to begin.
As a lifelong fan of my hometown Cleveland Cavaliers, the second half of the NBA season has left me feeling lost.
There are several important facets of law and order that we cherish dearly in America, like the plan of our nation’s founders that, regardless of vast shifts in societal norms and political culture over hundreds of years, is still completely relevant. We also hold true that communism is bad, democracy is good and the most effective way to deter crime and maintain a healthy society is to assign random ages of legality to various life activities.
During the week of Feb. 20 through Feb. 26, the 2013 NFL combine was held in Indianapolis where hundreds of the nation’s top college football players all gathered to showcase their talents to the 32 teams in the NFL.
