Good Sportsmanship: A Rarity, But it Exists
What is the place of sportsmanship in our culture today? We all were required to participate in some form of sports from a young age, in P.E. class, if nothing else.
Farmville: Cash Cow of a Distraction
For those who never played it, FarmVille is a game where you farm, harvest vegetables and apparently find cattle that wander onto your farm.
Texting Has Merits
OMG. R U GOING TO THE PRTY TONITE? ;)
Environmentalism Versus User Friendliness
And yes, I do believe the new to go boxes are inferior than the old styrofoam.
Facebook: Good Tool to Retain Relationships
Okay, so there’s a study that says that Facebook ruins relationships because it replaces the medium of being there with an actual person with textual communication over the internet. What complete and total crock.
Four Years Later, I Learned Something
Southwestern has made an impression on me. Its white buildings and green lawns and passionate professors have become sort of a comfort zone to me these last few weeks as I meander my way into life after SU.
The Web Editor, He Speaks!

Most of you don’t know me because the writers do not interact with me much/at all. But that’s okay. Here I am. This little part of the Staff Blog is going to be about: pick up trucks, coffee, who I find attractive, why I hate printers, word […]

Happy belated Valentine’s Day. Hope your day of couple cuddliness/single awareness/intentional dismissal of Saturday was a success.
