""It was the most stressful time in college. Wherever you went, there was stress … You go to the library and you're studying, and there's stress. You couldn't even go home without thinking, is she going to be there?""
Upon entering college, everyone told me that living in the dorms was a once in a lifetime experience that I simply could not pass up. They said it was THE PLACE to make life-long friends and accumulate ridiculous stories that I would cherish for the rest of my life and pass on to my children. In a way, they were correct on all accounts, but left out a few minor details.
""New York is great if you can pay the rent!"" Thanks, LCD Soundsystem.
Chances are, if you go to school at Central Washington University or Ramapo College in New Jersey, ""getting Loko"" is banned. Recently, both schools have had major issues with the relatively new and very alcoholic beverage called Four Loko. As a result of the drink's effects, around 30 people have ended up in the hospital, which police blame on the drink's combined ingredients.
As a youngin', Halloween was a sign that there was a higher power that wanted me to be supremely happy—or at least the best gift I could ever receive, by far, from monstrous candy corporations like Hershey and Nestle. I never really put too much creative thought into my costume, considering I went as a witch four years in a row.
For a quaint college town, Whitewater has a spooky past.
It's autumn. It's all beautiful and shit but those leaves are slippery, dawg and that crisp air makes it a little slick in the morning, okay? For me, it's even worse because I'm a natural-born klutz.
Many of you probably know at least one person who is absolutely terrified of going to the bathroom in public. Some are merely frightened of publicly relieving themselves when they have to go number two—yes I am using the term you learn in kindergarten to avoid saying the word ""poop"" 30 times in one article. Others cannot even go number one in a public bathroom without freezing up the second someone else walks in.
I recently received an e-mail titled ""Universal Truths,"" which listed observations of life that all humans, more or less, could identify with. Upon reading, ""I can't remember the last time I wasn't as least kind of tired,"" I decided that the guy who wrote the article must be some kind of genius.

Deer Cardinal,
Every year, thousands of Madison students grab a couple of friends and enter the manic search for a cheap, somewhat habitable place to live for the next school year. Freshmen are especially vulnerable in this process, making roommates of people they've only known for a few months after being pressured to sign a lease early by peers without enough knowledge about the rental process.
Girl at Bob's Copy Shop on University Ave: So, I'm wondering if you can tell me where University Avenue is?
Freshmen, raise your hand if you've pooped your pants yet. (""He called the shit ‘poop'.""
Just as the Fourth of July marks America's independence from England, so too does Welcome Week for incoming freshmen from their childhood homes, families and daily routines. This momentous occasion is coupled with excitement and anxiety about meeting new people, surviving dorm life and navigating the various buildings on campus.
Over the past few weeks, the terraces of downtown Madison became stacked with the flotsam of middle-class America. A lovely mauve couch, the height of fashion in 1985, will go to its final resting place. After starting life in a place of honor in the living room, will move down to the family rec room, then on to a student rental or dorm and then another one and another one until it ends up on the curb on Gilman Street.
While it may come as no surprise to new and returning students that yet another tuition hike has changed the ever increasing cost of UW-Madison, the fact that its inaction was decided while heads were turned leaves students justifiably puzzled.
""You have brains in your head.
Rockford, Illinois. Timothy Brands, an adorably ignorant incoming freshman at UW-Madison says he ""can't wait for college,"" despite the knowledge that he will be trading the comforts of his own house for a dorm room no larger than a modest closet. The cute little guy is even quoted as saying that the horrendous living conditions he has yet to become acquainted with, which have often been compared with the sensation of severing ones own member with toe nail clippers, will be ""a great learning experience.""
