  Got the Fondren blues before finals even begin? Maybe it’s time to ditch the dark and dreary West Stacks for a better study spot. SMU and Dallas are full of great places to write that final paper or cram for that 8 a.m. exam. No matter what your preference or mood, there’s a place for you. We found eight of the best places to study: Café Brazil Conveniently located right across 75, this 24/7 café has everything you could need from a coffee to free Wi-Fi to breakfast tacos. Definitely a great late night, last minute cram location. READ MORE

  If we aren’t lucky enough to be going to school at such a gorgeous and vibrant campus in one of the best neighborhoods in Dallas, SMU students have surely been grateful for the occasional sightings of George “Dubya” Bush on campus either walking through Dallas Hall or teaching a sporadic international relations class. Yet, now more than ever, SMU students are thankful for the new, upcoming Presidential Center and (furthermore appreciative of most classes being canceled on Thursday). READ MORE

  We’ve all seen the new dorms protruding on the southeast side of campus. But do you know the details? The dorms are part of a $134.5 million initiative, which create a Residential Commons (RC) for students and faculty. Construction started in 2012 and will terminate in Summer 2014. The RC will house student leaders, as well as live-in faculty and staff members.  SMU hopes the RC will provide a platform for students to engage in opportunities with faculty outside of the classroom, according to their website.

  Tip one: Toothpaste helps reduce pimples FACT On smaller pimples, it works great. Toothpaste actually contains alcohol, which has the ability to dry up pimples and reduce the redness and swelling.

We rationalize, telling ourselves that it was for the better and that telling the person the truth would be more hurtful than telling a fib. In some aspects, it even saves our own sanity, scared to face the absolute, stark reality of the truth. But, getting in the habit of lying on the regular can cause major problems in your life, your relationships, and your friendships. Not only do people lose their trust in you, but in your character as well. READ MORE
