	Ways To Stay Up Without Caffeine By Jake Lans June 5, 2013 - 7:42pm We all know what it’s like to be dozing off late at night. The paper is unfinished, the PowerPoint is incomplete, and the calculus problems won’t solve themselves. There’s probably no better time to make friends with coffee, tea, and energy drinks. But who really wants to be addicted to caffeine? Sure, coffee is nice sometimes, and Red Bull does give you wings (plus a super strong sugar high) but enough is enough. There are healthier and more natural ways to keep yourself awake. Plus, coffee can keep you awake when it’s finally time to go to bed, only perpetuating the problem. READ MORE
	5 Clothing Trends Guys Don't Understand By Shannon Price May 23, 2013 - 2:56pm Last time around, I gave you a glimpse of some things guys wished girls knew. This time, I'm taking a look at the many items of clothing girls wear that guys, well, just don't understand. Nearly all the guys I asked were stumped at first, so I gave a few examples of things I don't understand other girls wearing (like crazily ripped jeans – paying $100 to look like you just got attacked by a bear?). And suddenly, the floodgates were opened. Many of the answers were specific to the guy, but there were definitely some patterns. So, without further ado, here are the top five clothing and style trends that guys can't wrap their heads around: ...

While these seven years were probably a fundamental time in your development as a person (including casual milestones such as birth, learning to walk, kindergarten, and other early childhood events), they were also extremely important in history, being the 7 years that the legendary show Boy Meets World was on the air.

	The Genius Behind "Game of Thrones" By Mike Davis May 6, 2013 - 2:50pm WARNING: Spoilers lie ahead “There’s no way he’s going to kill Ned Stark,” I thought to myself as I watched the first season of Game of Thrones this past summer. “He’s basically the Frodo Baggins of this tale, he’s obviously going to win the Iron Throne,” I repeated as that evil bastard Joffrey gave his speech about how he would not tolerate traitors in his realm. “But the show already told me that this is all part of a plan, one where Ned will be saved, and Joffrey already agreed to it,” I thought as Joffrey raised his sword. And then he cut off Ned’s head. Whoops. READ MORE
	19 Things You Should NEVER Say Drunk By Lauren Liu May 1, 2013 - 5:40pm So, I collaborated with my ladies and we had an excellent discussion on the things we wish people had never said on those fateful nights out. Crazy things make for beautiful stories, but usually those stories are funnier told than experienced. Read it, memorize it, ingrain it.

So take advantage of our beautiful campus and spend a little time outside!

	Spring Cleaning: What To Keep And What To FINALLY Throw Out By Lauren Liu April 3, 2013 - 11:57pm It’s finally that time of year. Say goodbye to big, baggy sweaters and say hello to running shorts, ‘cause it’s time to welcome spring with open arms. Whether you have been looking forward to hitting the gym or lying out and getting back some of that color you’ve been deprived of for the last couple of months, spring has finally arrived!
