After a three-year “drinking” streak, the Majestic Bird flies again. The Daily Cardinal beat its fulsome foes in flag football on the battlefields of Vilas Park Saturday. And for the first time in three years, it was a day of ULTIMATE GLORY.

Listen: Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Don’t believe me? Hahaha, lolol, well, damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

Dear Alex,

When NYC indie-pop band Cults released their self-titled EP in 2010, America was revitalized by their ’60s-style bubblegum tunes about love and happiness. However, with the split of the band’s two core members, Madeline Follin and Brian Oblivion, their recently released album Static creates a mood of confusion and disillusionment.

Before listening to Pelican’s Forever Becoming, I braced myself. Identifying themselves as post-metal, a genre I have never particularly enjoyed, I expected predictable riffs, harsh bass, and noise percussion. Holy shit, was I wrong. Four years since the release of their last album, Pelican has evolved into a pure, more focused, instrumental rock band. Forever Becoming contains only eight tracks, but they are enough to convey an onslaught of emotions. It’s best to view the album as a whole, rather than track by track, because what Pelican has done is compose a story of life and death.

I wish every student on campus could have seen this; gay, straight, black, white, Hispanic, Asian. Everyone. I am not in a minority group, unless we can still consider women as a minority, which maybe we can in some instances (though, thank God, I think that generation is dying off). Never have I felt so lucky and full of opportunity during my years at a university. Jonathan Rauch, a well known journalist, activist and writer of “Kindly Inquisitors” came to lecture in my First Amendment class Tuesday. Never have I felt so enlightened, free from ignorance and more eager to share this with every single person on this campus, hell every person in the United States, if my opinion could reach that far, maybe even the world. This topic is not an easy one, in fact it is one with very blurry lines. It is the topic of free speech with regard to minorities and hate speech. Jonathan Rauch asked us what lines should be drawn? Should we have laws and speech codes that prohibit hateful speech? Rauch, an open homosexual, says no. Before you get extremely alarmed and confused by his answer, you should hear his argument, which is incredibly strong and in my view, unwavering. At the beginning of his lecture I answered, “Of course we should,” as I believe that everyone, no matter who they are, deserves to feel comfortable in their own skin at all times. And if law needs to be the means in which we make sure that’s the case, then so be it. But throughout his lecture, in which I cried, had goose bumps almost the entire time and actually felt my mind being changed for the better, my answer changed.

The neglect that the United States government has shown the people of Syria will only produce more danger for the American people from angry Syrian citizens taking refuge in terrorist organizations like Al Qaeda.

Coming from a high school with comprehensive sexual education, I didn’t realize how frequently I interact with people who never got “the talk” from their parents or from their schools until I realized the most frequent questions I’m asked by friends are all covered in Sex Ed. 101.

Drake may claim everything’s changed, but I think it’s fair to call hyperbole. After all, nothing really has changed in the life of Aubrey Graham—he’s still exceptionally proud of his fancy watches, exceptionally sensitive about his past loves and he still knows how to put together a fun, if predicable, bit of velour-soft hip-hop. His latest album, Nothing Was The Same, follows in the footsteps of chart stomper and critical wunderkind Take Care—sometimes to the point of redundancy and exhaustion.

My biggest existential crises always strike in the aisles of the grocery store. It seems like the perfect location for a silent mental meltdown: People walking either hinderingly slow or so quickly it’s stressful, hundreds of tiny paper signs flapping in the artificial breeze of the refrigerated section begging for attention, vegetables staring at me silently asking why I haven’t eaten one since probably the last time I visited my parents. It’s both a convoluted environment and one that offers plenty of time to reflect on the nature of life whilst trying to read the smeared pen on my palm where I wrote my ultra important list of “Things I Cannot Forget!!!!” just this morning, like real adults do.

Everyone is always looking for the perfect, quick meal that is filling, yet delicious. With a busy schedule, cooking can become quite difficult, and as the weather drops you also start craving a meal that warms your insides. My answer to your cries is the grilled cheese sandwich. I’m not talking about that boring two pieces of bread with some cheddar cheese. I’ve recently uncovered tons of creative and healthy grilled cheese recipes that are sure to please! This is honestly one of the most versatile recipes I know. You can choose your favorite bread, cheese, and load on the extras, like nutrient-rich vegetables, or even proteins that can go in between the slices; my favorite add-ins are tomatoes and spinach. Additions like pesto or hot sauce can also really pump up the flavor of your cheesy meal as well. Making your grilled cheese is easy and can be done on the stovetop, just flipping the sandwich over halfway in between cooking. I have a little counter-top grill I love to use and Panini makers work great too. Here are some of my favorites recipes to try for your next meal!

Growing up in an antibiotic age has predisposed many of us to think of all bacteria as harbingers of death and disease. We see them as things to be wiped, washed and scrubbed away. But for the past decade or so, the research, consistently proving the essentiality of microorganisms to human life, has us changing our tune. Because the truth is, we live in a bacterial world. Microorganisms in and on our body outnumber human cells 10 to one, and it can be argued we are more bacteria than we are human. And instead of threatening us, they keep us healthy by supporting basic physiological processes from digestion to defense.

I love the NFL Draft. Seeing 22-year-olds get picked up by teams hoping to be the next Brian Urlacher or Peyton Manning, when they could as easily be the next Akili Smith or Tony Mandarich. Hell, I love any kind of sports draft; NBA, MLB, MLS, Fantasy, I even watched the 2010 WNBA Draft because I wanted to know which NBA pro Tina Charles matched up with. I think what is so tantalizing about these over-hyped, never-remembered events is the prospect of potential.

Well ya’ll, it looks like it’s happening. School is almost out, and once again, most of us are all but moving into the campus libraries to bang our heads against our laptops—or whatever it is we do there. As the deadlines come rolling in, some of us will graduate, while some are relieved to have made it through freshman year and some are just excited to have more free time to drink beer. As I look to my summer plans and try, as I do every year, to make this the best summer of my life, I once again find myself making plans I probably won’t keep.

There’s an odd stench in the air at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. No, it’s not the billow of reefer stemming from Don’s creative team. No, that my friends is the debilitating odor of death. The office is no stranger to death, but this season seems a more macabre meditation on mortality.
