Astoria. No, not Astoria, NY – an area right outside of Manhattan that is largely populated by Greeks – but Astoria, the restaurant on Monroe Avenue, just a few short miles away from the University. As a Greek guy from Astoria, NY, I can tell you that the food at this place is as Greek […]

I don’t enjoy having sex at all. It is a tiring experience for me and I have never been able to achieve orgasm. However, I enjoy masturbating and it is more relaxing to me. I am not sure what to make of this. (I am a male). Based on the fact that you enjoy masturbating, […]

Just a month earlier, a high school student was killed at Arapahoe High School in Centennial, Colorado. I can list more, but should I need to? […]

In the January 23rd edition of the Campus Times, Evan Keegan attempted to demonstrate the possibility of God in fewer than 1,000 words. The purpose of this op-ed will not be to […]

I was walking around one of the freshmen dormitories when I came across an intriguing awareness message randomly scattered throughout the dormitory by our beloved EcoReps.
