Survival Kits
mnorton190:
I thought it would be fitting to see what others have in their “survival kits” during Hell week. For example, my study kit always has:
1) Coffee
2) Some form of munchie (i.e. carrots, chips, cheese-its)
3) iPod
4) Spiral Notebook to keep random thoughts organized
and of course….
5) More coffee
What else is keeping all of you alive during this week?
Carrots?! We’re...

Print Quota at Clemson University
On Monday, April 19, 2010, at noon, “Inside Clemson” sent out an e-mail to Clemson University students, informing them that the Administrative Council had approved a Print Quota, to begin enforcement…
I spent my freshman year at a university where there was a print quota, and coming here I was really...

I am not a particularly angry individual. By nature, I am a rational, level headed, moderately spoiled creature who rarely has cause to complain. However, this year, a particularly large construction project in the middle of campus has caught my ire. Thanks to the Class of 1960, Clemson University…
EXACTLY!! You really hit home with the auralog scene. Those computers...
An Ode to Smokers
Why Smoking is Important to America
Smoking is bad. Smoking bothers me. Smoking makes my boyfriend’s mouth significantly less appealing. Common scenario: discreetly holding my breath while walking past the only exit of a building, in which the Smoker americanus has chosen to perch and enjoy a delightful treat. With years of practice, Smoker americanus and I...

Fun for all ages! This is an interesting concept, a bit weird, too.
I love that one of the responses to these pics is “what the f*ck is wrong with my species???” Obviously what is wrong with our species is that certain people (cough cough) do not have a sense of humor. Plus some of these places people got themselves into deserves kudos in itself.
I don’t...

“Two celebrities argue over the use of the word “pimpin.” I am sort of on the fence on this one. There are terms like this — words detached from their original traumatic sense — that I avoid using, “wifebeater” and “ghetto” come to mind, but “pimpin” does not make me quite as uncomfortable. In each case, however, the fundamental issue is the fundamental issue of any...

Samuel Green
In Jill McDonough’s Habeas Corpus, McDonough brings attention to the unfamiliar history of various criminals, convicts, and the accused. Guilty or innocent, all of the subjects in this compilation of sonnets were sentenced to death and executed, including Samuel Green, who met his end on April 25th, 1822 in Boston,...

“The words of bureaucrats may twist tongues, but language on today’s college campus can truly twist minds. Many prominent people, particularly academics, have invented new ways to torture the English language. My friend Denis Dutton, a philosophy professor who runs the Arts & Letters Daily website, launched a bad writing contest to honor these masters of gobbledygook. The grand prize...
CE 1
I clock into the computer at 9:03. I make my way to the back and stuff my jumbo purse into my petite locker. Part of me wishes small handbags would become fashionable again, but then again, I really enjoy finding leftover brownies in its deep, dark crevasses. After I’ve hidden my belongings, I find a way to discreetly attach the bulky walkie talkie that all associates are required to wear, but are...
