A strong hand planted stiffly on my shoulder and sent shivers through my body, freezing every muscle as I stood on my host family's front lawn in Ethiopia. I slowly turned as my eyes traveled up a large arm and over to the other arm, which was grasping an AK-47. I looked up at his face as he glanced back at two other armed men and his lips parted into a grin.

As I prepare for my senior (but probably not last) year of college and am forced to start thinking about sucky, real life, I have become frighteningly aware of the fact that nothing—not one single aspect of my life—is grown up.

After writing my column for two years, it's time to say goodbye. Although all I really want to do right now is curl up in a ball and cry while excessively thanking my weekly readers (assuming they actually exist), I thought a good way to end things would be to clear up a few misconceptions.
Japandroids just might be the saviors of garage rock. Selfless and bursting with energy, they play music for all the right reasons. Heck, they streamed their entire discography for free on their Facebook page, including Post-Nothing, their newest release, months before its actual release. Self-described as ""2 sweethearts still naïve enough to think they'll never sell out,"" Japandroids are just like the band your two friends had in high school, only they're way, way better.
Last week was Sexual Health Week. You may have gotten the email (which was not, just so everyone is perfectly clear, soliciting anyone for sex or trying to sell anyone ""pornagraphy""). Thursday was Sexual Health Fest on Library Mall, and while we were setting up the tables, I looked at my Sex Out Loud coworkers, smiled a huge smile, and exclaimed (at typical Erica volume), ""I LOVE MY JOB!""
Nothing about ""Hunger"" is easy to watch. The move is unforgiving, brutal and frustrating. It contains very little dialogue, and many scenes will make you want to avert your eyes. But don't look away. It's worth it.
Jokes about whales using cell phones, songs performed in cardboard robot costumes and minute-long theatric fades to end songs are what make the Flight of the Conchords more than just a musical act.
After losing last year's Herald-Cardinal softball game, a slugfest that ended in a 16-15 Cardinal victory, former Herald sports editor Ben Voelkel wasn't going to let his squad fall again.
I was talking on the phone with my friend about TV-quoting the other day when something she said rang true: There was nothing that brought out the feminist in her more than when a group of boys was rapidly quoting television shows and she could easily contribute.
Last week, MTV dropped its much-anticipated bombshell with the premiere of ""College Life,"" filmed right here at UW-Madison. Without going into too much detail, we saw an edited and chronologically inaccurate compilation of partying, relationship trouble and problems assimilating to the local culture, all through the stories of four freshmen. The general student consensus afterward was a resounding two thumbs down.
""State of Play"" is a terrible movie with an amazingly astute marketing strategy. By shamelessly pandering to media luddites with nostalgia-inducing montages of a reporter's life, it softened the hearts of some of the most jaded film critics (it made A.O. Scott cry, for God's sake). Although the movie itself fails to intelligently show the lack of objectivity in reporting today, perhaps the critical response it has received does exactly that.
There are noticeable pangs of desperation in Wednesday's anti-tax Tea (Taxed Enough Already) Party. Although ostensibly dubbed a grassroots uprising, the event is probably more accurately described as a coordinated and concerted partisan campaign. The Republican National Committee's website allows for creating send-a-tea-bag postcards. An entire cable news channel (guess which one) has been actively promoting the day of protest, and the main website for the Tax Day Tea Party event is funded by conservative groups.
So, how did your date go? Will you see him again?"" I asked my friend, who was telling me about a date with some guy she was set up with by a friend of a friend of a creep.

On March 20, 2009, the Wall Street Journal printed an article about a new trend among middle-schoolers: smoking Smarties. To imitate smoking, students crush the candy into a fine powder, pour it into their mouths and blow out the dust. The following are confiscated correspondence from kids caught passing notes in Ms. Tayler's eighth-grade class.
Like most siblings with a five-year age gap, my brother and I got off to a rough start. When he was two and I freaked out because he stole my genius idea of Beanie Baby bungee jumping off the balcony, which had more of the effect of Beanie Baby suicide, I locked myself in my room crying for hours.
I can hear the cries now. Science? That's just the kind of thing I'm hoping to leave behind over Spring Break!"" Relax, Stereotypical Reader, this is no last-minute lecture. I know vacations are all about having fun and living life to the fullest.
