Dear Chris: Common problems solved

Dear Chris: I spend all day doing work and, every night when I get into my bed, right as I close my eyes, I can’t help but hear a rhythmic pounding coming from the room above me. I hear grunts, and for the life of me I can’t figure out what they’re doing or how […]

Declaring your major

It’s that time of year again. The squirrels are frolicking, the brown water of our lovely Genesee is flowing in full force, the Quidditch team has returned to practice during normally inconvenient hours for everyone else in Fauver; oh, and the school is hounding freshmen and sophomores to declare what they will pursue for the […]

Poking fun at the news

1. A Nevada bill that would allow sick pets to use medical marijuana is being introduced in the state legislature.  Said one contemplative pet chicken to another, “Well, we’re gonna be baked anyways.” 2. A man in Pennsylvania attempted rolling in dog waste to avoid arrest. The plan failed. 3. A new study predicts that […]

On squirrels

While walking to class, have you ever noticed the squirrels meandering around? Since I was a little kid, I have also wondered what it would like to be a squirrel. How do they communicate? Where do squirrels live? Do they have small bartering economies where they trade nuts for sticks or vice versa? Squirrels always […]

Sophomore Dani Douglas said, “Cheesecake.” So, that is what I’m going to write about. I always found it odd how cheesecake came about. Many […]

A letter from the Easter Bunny

With Easter quickly approaching, it’s that time of year again. Recently, I have gotten some accusations that I am, in fact, a fraud. They say that there’s a conflict of interest in me delivering chocolate to every house because I sold my soul to the corporate market by allowing myself to be the poster-bunny for […]

Let’s play on words

1. The electric wiring in my house is unfixable, so I felt guilty giving the repair man an offer he couldn’t re-fuse. 2. Angels make poor friends because they aren’t down-to-Earth people. 3. Scheduling events for a friend is a good way to make their day. 4. Before Jesus walked on water, he did a […]

Getting ready to conquer the cold in the chilly city of Rochester

This past week, I left my dorm in the early hours of the morning bundled up to find a strange phenomenon; a bright ball lighting the sky without any snow falling. Thankfully, since the University of Rochester is known for its optics, I was able to meet with a professor immediately. He had recently completed […]
