	Going Crazy in Close Quarters: How to Make it Work in 30 Feet or Less By Megan Duero October 10, 2012 - 8:00am My roommate sings to herself. Sometimes I’lI have work to do, so I request that she wear headphones, which she does without complaint. Simple enough... Five minutes later, the singing begins. And this isn’t quiet little humming. It’s out-of-key high notes and bad squeaky kind of singing. Here’s the problem: at home, my sister hummed ALL THE TIME. It got to be a little frustrating, so I was looking forward to a lack of poorly hummed (or sung) songs once I arrived at school. No such luck. I’m usually not a high-maintenance individual, but I do think that everyone, myself included, has a couple of pet peeves. READ MORE

	Sober Sally: Living on the (Straight) Edge for 6 months By Her Campus Northeastern October 5, 2012 - 8:00am Beach trips, getting tan, and drinking every night (unless you’re on co-op or in classes…sorry Northeastern). These are just a few reasons why summer is the best season of the year.

	A Shot to the Lips, Forever on the Hips? By Erin Kany October 2, 2012 - 12:00am It is finally Friday: Cheers to the Freakin’ Weekend! And just like the song says, many college kids will "drink to that." Why not, right?

Now, I’m not a hater – I like girls, and would love nothing more than to spend my days chatting endlessly about hot topics like this week’s pyramid on “Dance Moms” and the hijinks that just unfolded on the most recent episode of “Pretty Little Liars.” READ MORE
