We're getting down to the end of the year and, needless to say, I'm waxing philosophical. As spring flowers bloom and my college career comes to a close, it's natural to look back upon the past four years and consider everything that's happened, and then start screaming when I realize I don't have a job yet and I might have to stop drinking six nights out of every week.
It's almost over - the sniffling, sneezing, coughing and aching"" cold and flu season. With the mix of Spring Break and record snowfall behind us, the campus has become a germ bank, and it is handing out free samples. So, battle the bug with one of nature's best cold warriors: citrus.
It's difficult to say which event would have sounded more incredible months ago: No. 4 retiring after verging on Super Bowl status, or the Badgers men's basketball team winning a share, and probably more, of the Big Ten title.

State Sen. Fred Risser, D- Madison, and state Rep. Frank Boyle, D-Superior, want to give Wisconsin's terminally ill patients the right to ""die with dignity"" in a proposed bill.
Considering My Morning Jacket concert ticket prices start at about 100 bones for scaffold seats and the brightness of their pretentious light shows are on par with that of Lasik surgery, it is easy to forget you're at a concert and not a test site for nuclear weapons. However, in 2004 a scraggly band called Dr. Dog tagged along on the MMJ tour, and though largely unheard of, captured the hearts of shaggy haired indie kids instantaneously.

This chica lives for hockey—and The Daily Cardinal. She can't even wait until she takes her gloves off to check for hockey coverage. Despite Gopher hockey legend John Mayasich's opinion that his granddaughter is at the wrong school, she remains the ultimate Badger hockey fan in every sense of the word. When she's not playing for the club team, watching the varsity play or daydreaming about her future with an NHL superstar husband, she's ... doing nothing.

The past three weeks—true to form for the Wisconsin Badgers men's hockey team—was a symbol of their broader, middling season.

I used to work in a video store. It was the northside Family Video in Kenosha, my hometown. Everybody I worked with was nice. There were single moms, college students, housewives, sketchballs and the occasional senior in high school. You see, in order to get a job at the FV, you only need to earn a 70 or higher on the basic skills test (I got a 72. Woot.) and to be 18 years of age. Why 18, you ask? That's easy. Family Video rents PORN.
