Today is Michigan’s Republican and Democratic Primaries. Be prepared for a barrage of targeted political ads, out-of-context soundbites, and diatribes from your Facebook “friends.” At least the excitement will keep your mind off midterms. (MichiganLive) If the Primaries aren’t keeping your mind off your next big test, perhaps the threat of worldwide nuclear devastation will. […]

One more week, Columbia. One week from today, we’ll all be enjoying warmer climates, or having Netflix marathons without needing to break for homework, or going on cool adventures without a textbook in sight. Who knows – we might even be asleep. But for now, unfortunately, we’re still stuck in the hellhole of Butler 209, trying […]

You’ve been hoping, wishing, dreaming of this for so long. It feels as though time has moved at a glacial pace until this point. But now, in the lulls in conversations, in the seconds of silence, in the moments before you fall asleep. You hear him: James Franco. His voice rises from somewhere deep within you, and […]

Change is upon us, both in the weather and our bathrooms. After speaking out against Tampons and shitty toilet paper, we can finally put them behind us (literally).
