I’ve been waiting about seven weeks to say this ... we’re halfway through the semester. It’s a great feeling, right? Think of what is coming for us: spring break is right around the corner, only seven more weeks of classes, fest season is coming soon! These things aside, I can’t help but hate what else this time means — lots and lots of midterms.
I think during this entire series I’ve completely ousted myself as the whitest girl you know. So I’m sure you have a vague idea of what topic I’m about to delve into.
If you’ve ever been out to the true Midwest, you’re familiar with the part of Ohio that becomes so eerily silent at night that when you sit outside you truly begin to wonder if life still exists. This past weekend, I visited that town on the shore of Lake Erie that I grew up with and came to accept with love as the place that people live their quiet lives and choose not to leave because it’s better that way. It’s a better alternative than moving to a big city rampant with chaos and people laden with stress. It’s no surprise that it’s the place my family and I ventured to when we wanted an escape from reality. And even today, I find myself yearning for that weekend break in Norwalk during the semester. Learning new things about yourself and life continues to be accomplished here.
What’s in a name if you inspire a renowned story? This week in 1897, Peter Llewelyn Davies was born. Davies and his brothers were eventually taken under the wing of James Matthew Barrie, a Scottish writer best known for authoring Peter Pan, or, The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up.
One year ago, a student walked through the doors of Chardon High School, my alma mater, and fired shots, killing three peers and wounding three others.
LeBron James will be remembered long after his career in the NBA has finished. Statistical achievements aside, he will always be remembered for being the last player who was able to go directly from high school into the NBA.
It’s fairly common that people ponder how discount-based industries can afford to have such low prices. Or maybe no one does this but me, the cynical cheapskate who often intends to sit down once a month to write a letter that starts with something like “Dear Save-A-Lot, where do you get off?”
"WOOO! Friday night! Friday NI-YEET! You guys ready to get crunked!?”
Big Bird is back in the political fire again. He’s teamed up with Michelle Obama as a part of her Let’s Move! campaign, which is dedicated to promoting better eating and physical activity for children, according to the Detroit Free Press.
If I had spent my Saturday in Ohio it would have been illegal.
We should all deliver our thanks to the Great Deity of Powerful Air Resistance. Thanks to him, we were able to save a precious piece of beautiful Mother Russia wilderness from a 10,000-ton meteorite. We’re short on tundra space already, and we can’t afford to lose any more to those dastardly space rocks.
While our last few beers have been exquisite and impressive, this week we sampled a beer that makes us say, “Meh.” Staying local, we tried Cleveland’s Great Lakes Brewing Company’s Eliot Ness. While we don’t have high opinions of most things from Cleveland, the two of us have always had much respect for Great Lakes and have frequently enjoyed their seasonal Christmas Ale and Conway’s Irish Ale.
As spring quickly approaches, bass will be moving to shallow, warm water where they can lay and fertilize eggs. They seek shallow water where the sun will keep the water and the eggs warm. This is because the sun acts as an incubator for the eggs, much like when birds sit on their eggs in preparation for hatching.
I have always heard people talk about how terribly women are portrayed in the God of War series. I had never played the series, but that is mainly because it’s Playstation 3 exclusive. It’s set in ancient Greece, and you play as Kratos, a Spartan warrior who serves the Olympian gods. Kratos is seeking revenge on his father, Zeus, for his betrayal. Cue the family drama.
Sometimes you need to get away. Doesn’t matter where. Just go.
It was a surprise to find out that all the friends I’d been making first semester had passions and interests that came out in the form of their major or what they were doing with their little amount of free time. Studying anything from photojournalism to psychology, one-by-one I watched as they got involved and had stories to tell of what they were doing.
I’ve recently started dating this guy and I really like him, but we haven’t had sex yet. The other day he asked me how many guys I’ve had sex with before him. I’m worried that it may be too high or low for him, so I didn’t tell him, but I think he wants to know. What should I do?
I remember the first time someone made me feel inferior solely based on what I look like.
Just like planes, migratory birds need layover time. Cranes and many waterfowl species flock toward bodies of water during that strenuous time.
Coaches of high-profile college football and men’s basketball programs are signing multimillion-dollar contracts year after year. In addition to that, some of those same high-profile programs are able to bring in millions of dollars in revenue every year.
