Some say creating the perfect schedule is an art. Erm, I wouldn’t call it an art as much I’d call it an ordeal. You start off thinking you can craft a masterpiece, but just when you’re about done, something doesn’t fit right, and instead of a masterpiece, you end up with a mandatory Friday power lecture in Ag Hall.
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.
Having already amassed three PGA Tour victories heading into the first major of the year, the Masters, Tiger Woods is seemingly back on top of the golf world. But even if Sunday comes and goes without Woods picking up his first major title since 2008, there is no doubt he has proven himself more than capable of continuing the push toward Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 major titles.
As great as the NCAA Tournament is, March Madness comes packed with a brutal reality: one misstep and its all over. With one half of poor shooting, Wisconsin found that out the hard way, falling to 12th-seeded Ole Miss to bring a quick end to a postseason run many thought had a chance to go the distance.
Hey, it’s March Madness! The one time of the year where everyone becomes a manic basketball fan because low-stakes gambling and day drinking are involved! If you give a shit (you shouldn’t), I’m picking Miami to win it all. I’m definitely one of those insufferable people that will brag about what great foresight I have to make a correct pick. It’s always great to say, “See, I told you guys South Dakota State would beat Michigan. Just call me Nostradamus.”
This week, my roommate got a UW Secret Admirer.
The University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents acknowledged a spelling error Thursday in the contract for the University of Wisconsin-Madison chancellor position that gave the job to singer Rebecca Black and not Dr. Rebecca Blank.
The death of Hugo Chávez, Venezuela’s polarizing president, has set off a predictable reaction of hyperbole and exaggeration in the U.S. media, with members of the press and political punditry competing to provide the most extreme and inaccurate characterization of his time in office. In death, as in life, discussions of Chávez rarely adhere to the factual standards ostensibly required by the journalistic profession. The collective caricature of Chávez portrays a dictatorial mad-man, squandering away the country’s vast oil reserves and impoverishing the masses, who repeatedly vote for him out of sheer ignorance.
So for those of you who haven’t heard, a disgruntled Australian mother found her 7-year-old daughter’s “diyet”list. Yes, seven years old, and, yes spelled “diyet.” Here’s my first question: How does a 7-year-old even know what a diet is? I’m impressed with how she got the spelling so close, just one extra y in there! And my second question: Why oh why does a 7-year-old care about a diet? I already knew that society made it extremely difficult for women’s self-esteem, being that I am a woman, but after hearing about this 7-year-old’s diet plan, I realize we really have a long way to go.
University of Wisconsin-Madison students, faculty and staff met Dr. Nicholas Jones, one of the four finalists for the university’s chancellor position, at a meet-and-greet Tuesday where Jones outlined his future plans for the university.
One morning this winter, John, a resident at Porchlight’s Drop-in Shelter for men, was outside when a woman came walking down the alleyway headed straight for the back door. He said she had likely been outside all night long, and wanted something for breakfast.
I decided to watch the Oscars Sunday and thought they started at 7 rather than 7:30 p.m. This was a brutal mistake, as I was subjected to catch most of the Red Carpet show, which made me want to tear my eyeballs out. I guess the consensus was that Jennifer Lawrence was the best dressed. That’s the same Jennifer Lawrence who later tripped over her mountain of a dress and faceplanted on the steps when she accepted her Best Actress award, perfectly illustrating the absurdity of the Red Carpet show. If I’m ever invited to the Oscars, I’m going to show up in a T-shirt and jeans just to lampoon the Red Carpet show. And then when the TV host asks me, “Who are you wearing? Dior? Armani?” I’d be all like, “The hell if I know. Probably some 10-year-old kid from a sweatshop in Indonesia.”
Despite the nonpartisan status of the judicial branch, party politics has once again infiltrated a Wisconsin Supreme Court election.
I’m not saying anything is definite, but statistically speaking you’re more than likely going to have an awful Valentine’s Day that will probably destroy your current relationship and also any prospects of future happines with the person you’re with.
Hey, Badgers! I hope you’re enjoying your semester at the world’s best university, as ranked by yours truly. Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Brett, the guy who’s looking to add health and fitness to The Daily Cardinal’s Life & Style. I’m here to answer your questions and add anecdotal advice for ways to stay happy, healthy and fit in today’s fast-paced and stressful world.
In the wake of “Mad Men’s” critical success, period pieces on TV became en vogue faster than Don Draper could throw down a bottle of scotch. This wave is fairly ironic considering the paltry but devoted viewership “Mad Men” garners.
Faith leaders, public officials and community members gathered at Madison’s First Congregational United Church of Christ Thursday to hold a candlelight vigil supporting efforts to end gun violence.
In the wake of a recent rash of winter storm warnings, some of the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s more easily spooked residents have begun preparing for the worst.
Often times the rhetoric surrounding an issue becomes the issue itself. Emotional hang-ups and the ever-present argument of deeming something “unconstitutional” can overwhelm the issue at hand, and that can not only hinder solving that problem, it can also blow the problem out of proportion and then lead an effort to fix things that aren’t broken.
