Olympic obsession
Written by Danielle Kincs · March 9, 2010
It was the first day of March and I had fallen into a deep depression. No, it wasn’t because I realized that we were still at least two months away from some glimmer of spring (yes, the first official day of spring is in March, but who are we kidding? We’re in Minnesota). The... (more...)
Truth about texting
Written by Logan McMillen · March 1, 2010
Whenever my phone vibrates, a chill of equal tectonic force runs down my spine. I piece myself together and thumb through the inbox all the way to the tippy top where my new message lies. I quickly double tap the envelope with a loving force. “hey…I’m supr bord…I hate... (more...)
Three is a crowd
Written by Robby Sutherland · February 19, 2010
Sam Thomas All stable relationships are built like a tricycle. No couple is complete without it’s third wheel, and I’ve played that part a countless amount of times. The more I thought about the art of third-wheeling, the more I’ve come to appreciate it. After setting up... (more...)
Oil change
Written by Emily Busch · February 10, 2010
I had to get my oil changed, so I dropped off my car and I walked into the service station. I scanned the room for an open table. There it was, the only one. I walked over to it and started to work on my Spanish homework. After about five minutes, a rather corpulent woman walked into the... (more...)
Valentine’s Day back in the day
Written by Bernardo Vigil · February 5, 2010
I miss pre-school. The minimalistic homework, nap time, recess, teachers who aren’t competing to see who can damage your fragile teenage psyche the most––all of these things make me feel nostalgic for simpler days. Most important of all, however, I miss pre-school Valentine’s... (more...)

Farmville addiction sweeps nation
Written by Meredith Gallagher · January 8, 2010
I don’t know what it is about FarmVille. Maybe it’s the satisfaction of watching as you harvest your own artichokes. Maybe it’s the joy of finding a stray goose on your plot of land. Maybe it’s the fact that I don’t even begin to understand the allure of the Facebook... (more...)
Strawberry fields forever
Written by Logan McMillen · December 11, 2009
I’ve never really cared for fruit salad-I’m more of a veggies guy. However there was a time in my life, this summer, when I had to eat from the forbidden fruit (salad) to resist the temptation of someone else. During July and most of August I went to a liberal arts camp in Maine,... (more...)
Hooked on Twilight
Written by Theresa Lau · December 7, 2009
For months I disapproved. I made fun of everyone who could possibly be obsessed with a poorly written book series about vampires and forbidden love. I was a cynic, refusing to believe that this obsession was worth the hype. Then it happened. I was bitten by the vampiric love story: I became... (more...)
Weight room
Written by Margaret Miller · December 7, 2009
Really, I swear I can lift more the five pounds. It might seem sad to you, but arm running does work your shoulders. Of course, this fact seems unimportant to the broad-shouldered, peck-bursting, bicep-curling males of the BSM weight room. The intense competition between these four walls leaves... (more...)
