Out-of-state freshman to suspect that all other students’ hometowns are ‘just outside of Milwaukee’

It’s finally that time of year; freshmen are flooding the campus, football ticket prices are soaring, house fellows and TAs are dusting off their favorite icebreaker games, and students everywhere are attempting to make new friends.  In these first few weeks, these new students will be forced to participate in many icebreakers and answer get-to-know-you questions.

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.
