Did you know that your lung can spontaneously collapse? You don’t even need to be shot, stabbed, hit traumatically, attacked by an alien, whatever – it can happen by the way you sleep. I, however, didn’t know about the vulnerability of my lungs. Why? Because I, like most Americans, educated myself on medical issues through […]

Goozex: Funny Name, Serious Savings
Lookin’ sharp there, ladies and gents. You get your shiny new games for cheap, if you’re prudent with those dead presidents, and maybe even spent that freshly-saved cash on a romantic night out on the town with your sweetie. Valentine’s Day is a grand old time, especially if you’re in the market for a cheap […]
Books on the cheap?
As students, we get inundated with tips and tricks for finding really cheap textbooks: amazon.com, online versions, the library, making a copy of your roommate’s … I mean… But, what about those of us who actually enjoy reading books OTHER than the ones our professors test us on? After I hunt for textbooks on the […]
Cheap Dates Without Being ‘Cheap’
It’s been a little more than a week, and Valentine’s Day is over. Everyone can sigh with relief because no longer will pink hearts, candy, and love be thrown into your face…at least until Wal-Mart clears away the Christmas decorations that will be out in July and declares that you the shopper should begin buying […]
PUSH review
Told through back alleys, fish markets, and shoddy little hotel rooms, PUSH is by no means a superhero movie. This gritty film smears the lines between good and evil, seemingly casting light in all the wrong places. How? Because the good guys act in ways we’ve been trained to believe only bad guys do, such […]
Savin’ That Cold, Hard Cash
Gamers know that their particular hobby is an expensive one. A forlorn glance at any shelf of shiny new titles can attest to that — sixty bucks, man, for nearly every new game out on the market. That’s quite a few dollar bills. Maybe too many dollar bills, if you ask me, though it’s hard […]
Not as Good as It Gets
So the economy is crashing and the world sucks a little bit right now. SO WHAT? I mean, yeah it’s hard. As it should be. Working hard for what you have builds character and everyone can use more of that.
Dance Marathon 2009!
I was never more sore in my life! Okay that’s a lie. I’m sure I’ve been that sore after cheer camp or dance competitions in high school, but it’s been awhile. Now don’t get me wrong, I work out every day and eight hours at Dance Marathon, the university’s campus philanthropy, shouldn’t have been any […]
mmmmm… Chipotle
Warning: there will be begging. Let me start this off by saying: if you haven’t had the pleasure of experiencing the amazing-ness that is Chipotle (in my opinion – the hands-down best of the burrito-fanatic restaurants), please take a few minutes to ask yourself why. There’s a new one open near Penn Square mall on […]
The Digital Divide
The times, they are a-changin’. Turned on that television box recently? Your ears are due for plenty of heavy talking about the economy, the President, the war, the weather — the same things we always hear, and the same things most of us would probably prefer to ignore. So what’s a college kid to do? […]
