News, coffee and an apology

Nina Ruhe September 30, 2014

Enough is seriously enough

Nina Ruhe September 23, 2014

Enough is enough. No, I don’t mean you’ve eaten enough Goldfish Puffs at night to help you get through studying for that geology test (come on, people, I know it’s not just me). I’m talking about...

Fun with stereotypes

Benjamin Brown September 23, 2014

Boys are stupid

Benjamin Brown September 16, 2014

The following took place at an all-female apartment. The identities of those involved have been changed for their own protection. _Ben:_ Do you guys mind if I ask you a few questions about what you don’t...

Attempting to convert the unconvertible

Lily Cusack September 16, 2014

Imagine, for a moment, that you are sitting in a therapist’s office, pouring out your worries and fears and feelings to them. You have a lot of faith that they will help you feel better. Now imagine...

I got chlamydia (but definitely didn’t die)

Edna Smith September 16, 2014

Amanda Bynes does a great shrill scream, and in the film “Easy A," you can see her at her shriek-iest best when her character discovers that her boyfriend has a sexually transmitted infection. _“Chlamydiaaaaa?!?!?”_...
