Tic tacs are good for when you’re hungry and want two hundred of something

This article has nothing to do with tic tacs (a variation of a Mitch Hedberg joke). Well, the first sentence does, so technically, at the very least this article has something to do with tic tacs. Instead, I’m going to write about my first year-and-a-month here at UR. When I first applied here, I thought […]

Apples

My older sister just started dating a doctor. I don’t really like him, so I’ve been sending my sister apples for the past couple of weeks. Unfortunately, an apple a day isn’t keeping him away. Apples are an amazing thing. Believe it or not, apple was actually my first word. I guess this was a […]

Poking fun at the news

They’ve been measured 11.75 inches, from the base of his palm to the tip of his middle finger. When he debuts in the NBA, as he’s expected to after his freshman season at UR, those […]

Get rid of the coin toss

The NFL needs to get rid of the coin toss to decide who ultimately gets the first chance to win in overtime. My reasoning is because a coin toss isn’t fair, and it’s very difficult for teams to practice calling heads or tails accurately. Could you imagine if pivotal decisions in U.S. history came down […]

A study released this week  by the University Health Services (UHS) reports that UR students gained an average of 13 pounds during the closing of the Bloch Fitness Center from Sept. 8 to Sept. 17. The Fitness Center was closed for renovations on the floor that absolutely could not have been done during the summer […]

Eastman press release an interesing point

Before this week, sophomore Leo Larson and junior Anna Oliver were like all the other River Campus students. They waited in line at Starbucks, hung out with friends, went to their classes, and vegged out.
