Kenyon Dems Take D.C.By February 3, 2013 - 10:18pm Just five days after coming back to the ‘bier after winter break, I found myself on the twisting Ohio roads, heading home for the 57th Presidential Inauguration.

Putting the PRO in ProcrastinationBy December 15, 2012 - 6:14pm It’s the home stretch. Your desk is a flurry of notecards and highlighters, study guides and notes. You wish you could accumulate frequent flyer miles for nights spent in Gund Commons, watching the sun rise from the Squad, and staying in Club Olin til the nerd bell rings. If procrastination were a more highly regarded skill, it would be first on my resume (for instance, I’m writing this article rather than my 12 page paper...priorities, huh?). It’s finals season, and what’s a girl to do? Read on for the top 10 ways to procrastinate as the semester comes to a close and your attention span drastically decreases. READ MORE |

A Comprehensive Guide to the Liberal Arts ExperienceBy December 14, 2012 - 10:00am Coming from a high school some thought was just a platform in the middle of a remote open field where students did nothing all day but run around like savages, à la Lord of the Flies (read: the name “School Without Walls High School”) In case you were wondering, we did, in fact, have walls. Thanks. Interestingly, I’ve found that an almost identical bewilderment has followed me to Kenyon. READ MORE |

1 Broke Girl: Surviving College on a (Teeny-Tiny) BudgetBy November 28, 2012 - 5:00pm Following the steady climb in popularity of the relatively new CBS sitcom, 2 Broke Girls, I was struck with how easily I could compare the silly sitcom to my own financial situation. During my senior year of high school, I was lucky enough to snag a great job as a hostess at a French cafe. I would be lying if I said it paid poorly. While this past summer was defined by frivolous spending on all sorts of (much-needed) luxuries, like trips to the salon or meeting a friend for lunch (hey, I'd earned it!), college has so far been defined by a dwindling bank account and the lack of a steady job.

Hello my name is _____ and I’m a shopping addictBy November 16, 2012 - 11:49am It’s three a.m.: you’re hungry but all you have in your dorm room is a rotting apple from Peirce and a bottle of questionably old orange juice. You know you should study but your eyes are as dry as sandpaper and your mind is a bowl of especially soupy oatmeal. Netflix hasn’t yet added the new season of Grey’s Anatomy and your roommate is sleeping. The solution? Online shopping. Actually, oftentimes, online shopping seems to be an answer to anything. Bored in class? Oh look, a new dress on Modcloth just went on sale for 5% less than it was yesterday. What a steal! You just got into a fight with your (insert best friend/boyfriend/roommate/inner voice of reason)? Shop away girl, you deserve that retail therapy!... |
