September brings the start of a new school year and a clean slate for every student—the chance for reinvention. As a freshman, the first year away at college can be overwhelming.
To all my incoming baby badgers, grab a seat and get ready to take some notes. Perhaps you were class president in high school.
Incoming freshman: there’s no sugar-coating it—you’ve got it tough. Meeting new friends, learning the layout of a new city and trying to remember which class happens on which day—all while dealing with moving away from family, friends and comfort—can be one of life’s most difficult experiences.
I think we can all agree that the most important tool in a kitchen is an very old church cookbook; in my kitchen that means a worn copy of the Viola Methodist Church Cookbook 1984 edition.
Spring break has come and gone, and finals are just around the corner. You might be thinking, we just had midterms, how can this be?
Last Friday, UW-Madison’s student-run fashion publication, Moda Magazine, put on a fashion show featuring local retailers and student designers.
In September, I knew I was starting what might be my busiest semester yet. With a full class load, a 20-hour internship, a part-time job and student orgs, I felt like there was a shortage of hours in my week.
I’m not sure whether it was the few days of glorious spring weather we had last week, or the fact that it recently hit me that I am in fact halfway through my freshman year at UW-Madison, but lately the thoughts that have been dancing around in my mind as I daydream in class have been making me extremely nostalgic.
Every week on Wednesdays at 8 pm at Der Rathskeller in Memorial Union, an eclectic group of students and community members alike gather to witness the greatness that is Open Mic Night.
Exams are once again here in full swing on our frostbitten UW-Madison campus. This pressure mixed with the icy weather can bring even the truest of optimists down.
Madison is brimming with fun date ideas both on and off campus. Everyone knows State St. is full of great eats that will satisfy even your craziest cravings for Mexican food and donuts, but when you're itching to do something other than a dinner date, the possibilities are just as endless. If you take a drive to the eastern side of the capitol, eventually you’ll hit PaintBar, a fun (and boozy!) art studio.
It’s mid-February, and it’s 60 degrees. With the past few months confining studying students to tiny dorm rooms and lifeless College Library, here are some outdoor spaces we are quick to forget about in the winter months.
Everyone that is going on spring break this year has one thing on their mind: their beach bod. Whether it’s Europe, Central America or the Wisconsin Dells, everyone wants to be looking their best for both their spring break plans and their Instagrams.
As a junior here at UW-Madison, you would think that I have experienced the majority of activities that are classified as typically ‘Madtown’. Stayed for the fifth quarter at Camp Randall, check.
Busy people, like us, just don’t always have time for a beauty routine every morning. We wake up late, have class early or just don’t really feel like getting ready.
It’s finally February! January can seem to drag on forever, especially when the days are dark, bitter cold and the sun barely makes an appearance.
School, for most of us, is guaranteed to increase our anxiety. Either anxiety that already exists inside us or anxiety we never knew we were capable of feeling.
After a relaxing winter break the last thing anyone wants to do is get into another monotonous routine of work, stress and no sleep.
Friday morning marked the end of Michelle Obama’s era of First Lady fashion, but gave us a glimpse into what's to come the next four years.
Although the recent slew of uncannily warm days may have been deceiving, winter is slowly but surely creeping in.
