Ready for break

(12/10/07 5:00am)

I look terrible. Not only has my stress-induced chest cold put a damper on my exercise schedule, but the last few almost-all-nighters have left puffy dark circles under my eyes. I say I've stopped showering because of the Durham water crisis, but, to be honest, I just haven't had time. When I looked in the mirror this morning, a chubby raccoon looked back. I wouldn't be surprised if I started rummaging through trash cans soon-either driven to madness by overworking or driven to hunger by lack of food points.

Cat on the island

(10/29/07 4:00am)

I've lived in three different residences in the past six months, and in each place I've shared my space with a cat or dog. They haven't been my pets-they've always been in the house when I arrived, and I've marveled at my roommates' desire to share their home with an animal. Besides not wanting to smell like kitty litter or get dog slobber on my face, I've never wanted a pet because I don't have the desire to be responsible for another living thing for an extended period of time. I had a plant freshman year. It's dead. I learned my lesson.

Devil's in the details

(10/15/07 4:00am)

Campus Culture. It's catchy. It's alliterative. And most of us agree that it's less than perfect. There are problems, we've been told, for nearly every segment of Duke society. But as we go about our daily, slightly self-absorbed lives, the status quo doesn't always seem that bad. It is-you just have to pay attention.

Take it easy

(09/24/07 4:00am)

I was sitting at the bar the other night complaining to a friend about how late my homework was going to keep me up. Instead of telling me to leave the bar and get to work, my friend offered me an Adderall. I was a bit taken aback. Of course I've run across my fair share of Adderall use in the past few years, but it wasn't even midterm week yet! If I needed to rely on illegal prescription stimulants at this point in the semester, I was definitely in trouble.

Like Such As And

(09/10/07 4:00am)

Yes, I chuckled when I watched Miss Teen South Carolina's response during the 2007 Miss Teen USA Pageant. After the laughter subsided, however, I was left with the strange feeling of familiarity. After some reflection, I realized why I recognized the pattern. Miss Teen South Carolina Caitlin Upton's response is the same thing I've been watching on the news. It's the same thing as the speeches I see politicians make to garner votes and the pseudo-academic responses that my Duke peers give in class.

Senior Kick-off

(08/27/07 4:00am)

I received a nice little e-mail from Duke the other day entitled "Senior Class: Save the Date." Obviously, the subject line got me excited. This was clearly the first in a long string of invitations to super-special senior activities, many of which must include some sort of free wine. What would this one be: A picnic? A gala? A soiree?
