The Beet

Tamagatchi, Ben planning revenge
THE BEET

A Tamagotchi formerly in the possession of sophomore Abe Andon has issued a statement saying it has become self-aware and sworn a personal vendetta on its master. The drama began nearly ten years ago when Andon was in fourth grade.


A global academic community has reached a consensus for alterations.

Reform the Dictionary: mitigating disaster by language alteration

Ideas are powerful.  So powerful, in fact, that they have been the cause of countless ideological movements across the globe.  From the rise of fascism in Germany and communism in Russia in the early 20th century, to rise of the alt-right led by figures like Breitbart’s Steve Bannon right here on Main Street in the United States.  These movements, as evidenced by both the recent memories of the events in Charlottesville and the distant ones of what our forefathers invaded Europe to stop, can have life-altering consequences. Analyzing the effects that ideas — something that cannot even be seen nor physically touched — can have on society begs the question: where do ideas come from?  The answer is simpler than one may think; ideas stem from thoughts, and thoughts from words.  Words are just the invention of several cultures across the globe over time.  Used in various combinations, they form hundreds of languages for humans to not only interact with one another, but with themselves.

Study finds immature behavior, vulgar language clinically linked to regular Monster energy drink consumption

Monster Energy has found itself under public scrutiny in recent days after a University of Wisconsin study released Friday established a correlation between excessive consumption of the energy drink and immature, verbally belligerent behavior. “Based on the parameters we have noticed,” a leading researcher at the University of Wisconsin said, “it is evident that mere exposure to the Monster Energy brand elicits an adverse reaction in some of the consumers, namely those who expose themselves to the accelerant and then engage in highly stimulating activities, such as video games.” The global sports drink brand, highly recognizable for its role in promoting action sports events like motocross, snowboarding and monster truck derbies, has come under global scrutiny in recent weeks for its links to adverse behavior among several professional video game athletes.

Hordes of optimistic pre-med freshmen strain expectations, consistently disappoint everyone

The number of students choosing the pre-med track has skyrocketed this September thanks to ball-busting pressure from parents and the false, fantasized day in a doctor’s life portrayed by Grey’s Anatomy (which was originally an anatomical textbook). However, this influx is misleading; the number of doctors who attended UW-Madison for their undergraduate education has little to no correlation to the number of students who are currently claiming they will be doctors.

College is...

A buffer before you have to deal with “the real world” ? Three jobs and a full class load ? Vitally important to your future ? Somehow still a privilege not a right ? Easier than it used to be, so stop complaining ? Constructed by people who used to “have it hard” ? Too P.C. ? Not the place to talk about race, sex, or culture ? Pointless if you’re an English major ? Failing to teach people to write ? Pointless if you’re an arts major ? Failing to teach people to creatively solve problems ? Pointless if you’re a philosophy major ? Failing to teach students to think of the big picture ? A place to take risks, don’t be afraid of mistakes ? Hugely important, so don’t screw it up ? An opportunity to network for your career ? An opportunity for employers to get unpaid interns ? A good time to travel ? An unpaid internship and tuition of at least $10,488 a year ? A good time to start saving money ? An unpaid internship and tuition of at least $10,488 a year ? A good time to follow your passions ? An unpaid internship and tuition of at least $10,488 a year ? A place to make new interesting friends ? But don’t fall in with the wrong crowd ? A good time to figure what you want to do with your life ? Only supposed to last four years so hurry up and decide ? A good time to listen ? A good time to learn who, exactly, is worth listening to.

Cleopatra Girl

My Cleopatra girl, who dies and dies again, with flesh as white as pearls, who under death will always strain. And who am I, your love, clown as fool as the rest, a raven to a dove, who yet is asp upon your breast
