The time has come to leave this ghost town and return a week later when it’s renewed with young, innocent, naive and hopeful life. It's time to prepare yourself for Summer B. During this interlude you will use the time off to recenter your chakras, align your aura and detox all the negative energy you have toward the younger students who have not had their spirits crushed yet. You refuse to be the crotchety upperclassman who looks upon the younglings with jealousy and a mild tinge of second-hand embarrassment as they send you into a spiral of your own freshman flashbacks. You have taken up meditation in a bid to prepare for the second half of summer madness. You’re breathing in and out. Letting all your thoughts go. Then it pops into your mind…

It’s the weekend, or at least your definition of it, as you only have class three days a week. It’s road trip time, so you set your coordinates to someplace south of here and burn the dinosaur fuel to get there. But instead of hitting rain, your car comes in contact with something superiorly worse: lovebugs, aka one of the plagues not mentioned in Exodus. You must have killed a hundred a minute driving on the highway. And when you reach your destination you see your damage. “Weird…,” you think to yourself. The bugs’ dead bodies seem to spell something out….

Are apps like Venmo putting a price tag on our friendships?
(02/21/19 8:52pm)
Clubs and going out every weekend aren’t my thing. But I do love hanging out with my friends or going house parties because they’re situations where I can enjoy the company of the people around me. Requesting music at a house party is also easier because you know who has the aux. And as a plus, the music won’t blow out your eardrums like the huge stereos in a club will. Overall, the conversations are genuinely interesting, too. But when the night is over, all of the drinks have been drunk and the conversations have been had, it’s time for the college ritual: Everyone takes out their phone and suddenly a flurry of notifications light up the host’s phone. This is the tamest and probably the most appropriate way to make the night easy for everyone. The host gets reimbursed and everyone enjoys their time at the party.
