Reflecting on a tragedy
By Alligator Editorial | Nov. 20, 2014As you have probably noticed by now, we normally go casual on Fridays with a quirky, tongue-in-cheek “Darts and Laurels” summing up the best and worst of the week.

Before Thanksgiving, have Friendsgiving
By Emily Cardinali | Nov. 19, 2014Before you go home for Thanksgiving to see your (hopefully not bickering) family, the best way to pre-celebrate is by having Friendsgiving with your (again, hopefully not bickering) friend family in your dorm.
