I have gone through many an exam process, and not one has been easy. I remember my freshman year exams where I almost went into a nervous breakdown, overdosed on coffee, and lived in the library for a week leading up to them. I, of course, was overreac...

Long lines, hours of waiting, overexcited and weirdly dressed patrons; while this may be what deters people from attending a carnival it has become a welcomed tradition for a generation of fans at the annual premieres of the Harry Potter series. For th...

A month ago, I had to explain what Wikileaks was when I talked about my philosophy thesis - now everyone has an opinion. I had decided to call the paper 'Indecent Disclosure: the Ethics of Wikileaks'. At first it was kind of a joke, 'indecent' wasn't r...

Aluminum cans are one in, one out. If you don't read the rest of this article, this is all I want you to know: that every can that gets recycled becomes one new can, using 95% less energy than it would take to make a new can. That means that with the a...

What if the next time you sit your inebriated self into BACCHUS, lights and a camera on, you are questioned on Sewanee's newest game show, 'cash Bacchus'? What if you're feeling too tired on that 10-minute walk to class, so you swipe your ID and step o...

That guy is everywhere. He's lounging in the back of your history class. He's chilling with the dudes at the pub. He 'accidentally' hit you in the face with a Frisbee as you were walking through the quad. Who is that guy? Come on, you know, he's that g...
