I remember exactly what kind of kid I was before coming to
college. Thoughts of parties, beer and women constantly floated
through my head in the days leading up to move-in. Picture a young
Van Wilder, but paler. Back then, I was a mere 120 lbs of lean,
mean partying potential.

In a brash and controversial move regarding tomorrow's Mifflin
Street Block Party, the school's favorite binge-drinking holiday,
the city of Madison has banned the sale of alcohol from today
through Sunday. The decision, based on the standard fears of
arrests, vandalism, deaths and injuries related to mass alcohol
consumption, will certainly have severe implications toward the
partygoing community. Ned Cheever, 87, of City Hall, one of the
people who voted for this year's drying-out of Mifflin, explained
their decision.

If in the unlikely chance you're reading this, PANIC! ABANDON
ALL HOPE! Drop this paper and run like that Kenyan track star!
Why!? It seems our friends down at the genetics department have
really screwed the pooch with their latest top-secret research.
Early today, during some hush-hush human testing projects involving
building smarter, faster and unquestioning humans for the U.S.
Army, hundreds of their specimens overcame the feebly built
researchers and escaped from the genetics building. The catch? The
test itself recently went horribly wrong, and the fugitives just so
happened to be face-eating zombies. To be blunt, we've got more
Jason Bourne-like zombies streaming out of that building than your
everyday Justin Bieber concert.

Someone once said that college is an adventure and only you hold
the map that shows the path to success. That ""someone"" was an
ex-con turned motivational speaker who completed two hours of his
court-ordered community service by speaking at my eighth grade
graduation. Despite his teardrop tattoo and missing fingers, I took
the advice of Henry ""T-Bone"" Watkins to heart; he was genuine and
emphatic and said anyone who didn't listen to his advice ""IS GONNA
GET STABBED.""

Friday night football games, skip days, prom, applying to
colleges . These are typical highlights that make the senior year
of high school most memorable. However, while some kick up the
effort a notch for this final year, others bask in thoughts of
graduation and essentially take the academic year off.

canceled classes with a snowball fight on Bascom Hill
Wednesday.

Most students here are familiar with Gordon Commons. Regardless
of your love-hate relationship with University Housing, you have to
admit it's a homey place to relax during free time. Well, fun at
Pop's Club and Ed's Express will soon come to an end, as UW plans
to tear down the building this upcoming summer. Even if you look at
the upcoming project glazed with rosy assumptions, the $34 million
project is probably unnecessary.

I'm relatively sure most students would agree that as gorgeous
and wonderful as our campus is, it could benefit from a pretty
serious makeover.

With my head out the window of my pimped-out Hyundai, I caught
my first few breaths of that fresh Madison air last weekend. The
sun was shining in that perfect way, where with the right pair of
shades everything seemed to please my eager eyes, including the
fresh supply of Madison women. I cringed slightly as I slowed down
near Witte, and the bittersweet thoughts of my freshman housing
experience came crawling into my head. From what I remember of my
first week of freshman year, it was a time full of bat-shit crazy
roomates, awkward, sweaty frat rushes and insatiable thirst. It was
Welcome Week.

Questioning life's meaning has become cliché, a question that
people ask in order to demonstrate that some questions lack easy
answers. Matteo Garrone's ""Gomorrah,"" however, has an emphatic
response—under some circumstances, life has no meaning.
