Parents unappreciative of UR wordplay

With this most recent school year concluding, college and the opportunities it presents appear to be winding down for the majority of graduates. For example, just these past couple of weeks, I saw numerous students finishing their research regarding what that bright ball of light in the sky was; it is confirmed to be the […]

Advice for those who need it

Right now, a bunch of seniors are preparing to graduate, and they are probably asking themselves, “Where did the time go?” This is a good question. A question they probably aren’t asking is, “Hey, I wonder if Chris has any advice for the real world?” Well, if you didn’t ask that question, then I have […]

The end of an era

As the semester comes to an end and our beloved mascots begin to become a nuisance to campus picnics, two things are clear: the weather is too hot (I never thought I’d say that in Rochester), and a senior class will retire from its undergraduate college days to make room for incoming freshmen. Now if […]

In a campus far, far away

“I love you,” Susan B. Anthony said, staring into George Eastman’s eyes as he stood on the platform, ready to be lowered into the carbonite freezing chamber. “I know,” Eastman replied, as a slight suggestion of a smile appeared on his lips. The floor began to sink beneath him. This might be his last mistake, […]

SA IMPACT

I know that you know that I know that you know about the SA IMPACT program, which gives students the opportunity to make a petition and attempt to implement an idea into student life. At first, I was slightly skeptical of the idea (I don’t like change unless it’s written by David Bowie), but after […]

Dear Chris: Common problems asked and answered

Dear Chris: I’m in this class and I absolutely love it. However, there aren’t any other classes related to it so this will be it. What should I do? -From, Passionate Chris: Well, when people are really in love with something, they will do crazy things. That’s why I say that you should just try […]

We need a hero; we need Phil Collins

If you are a ‘90s baby, odds are that you’ve seen Disney’s “Tarzan.” This movie is where I first found my true love. It was not Jane. Rather, it was with the angel whowas responsible for the whole movie’s soundtrack. That man is Phil Collins. If you don’t know who Phil Collins is, Google him. […]

To be or not to be a fan of the Buffalo Sabres

I’m in a seat, surrounded by 18,690 strangers with one thing in common. We want what’s best for Buffalo Sabres hockey. Notice, though that I didn’t say we wanted the Sabres to win. Tonight is one of the last home games of the season against a talented Chicago Blackhawks squad. The Sabres have found themselves […]

On chopsticks

This is my second article inspired by an arbitrary word, so here goes nothing. I’m glad this word came up because I have an affinity for Asian culture, namely Japanese culture. Over the years, I’ve honed my chopstick abilities and have also learned some chopstick etiquette along the way. I personally feel that chopsticks are […]

A riddle: who am I?

I sent you to the hospital. Who knew burns could be so damaging? On top of this, they even suggested I poisoned you. Your atmosphere is dwindling, I suppose that is my fault too. An apology will have no worth, since I let your garden wizen. As for the murder, that was me. Your snowman […]
