When the world is your studio

(04/19/07 4:00am)

I was on my way to East Campus one day when I noticed something very odd, something I definitely hadn't noticed before. The bridge that so many Dukies pass under every day was sporting a fresh, solid coat of white paint-or at least it was fresh in my mind. And on that solid coat was a large, bright blue spray-painted piece of graffiti art. At first, I was perplexed as to who would deface the bridge so valiantly; on the white background, the blue piece stood as an aesthetic dare to all who viewed it.

Libraries 'R' Us

(04/05/07 4:00am)

I can't possibly be the only one wishing Spring Break was right around the corner... again. Two weeks ago, whether it was at home, a tropical island or Anchorage (unless you. actually live in Anchorage), those nine days served as a huge sigh of relief, and it couldn't have come at a better time.

Promise you'll hire me

(03/08/07 5:00am)

Many of my senior friends have been taking mini-vacations for job interviews since around or before January. In the days prior to their trips, they explain to me this overwhelming, life-consuming anxiety they're experiencing. They have identified this anxiety as having two roots (probably more though). One, they feel the need to paint themselves in a glowing light for their potential employers. This is easily a session in self-aggrandizement (I can imagine some of you may have already had a hand in such activities). Two, they are frightened (yet paradoxically elated) by the fact that graduation is around the corner; with such a date on its way, the necessity for a job is ever-growing-and the only thought that scares my friends more than not getting a job is having to move back in with the 'rents.

Video games make better surgeons

Many will agree that students at Duke have engaged in serious discussions about what's going on at this school, all the while making sure that they spend an extreme amount of time and effort studying. But there also are those who have dedicated themselves to exploiting the college experience as much as they possibly can by engrossing themselves in, well, let's call them "less-than-academic endeavors."

What about the polar bears?

(01/25/07 5:00am)

I'm not exactly sure how big decisions are made at Duke, and I'm hard-pressed to find many students who are, but I imagine that administrators meet and sit around thinking of things that would infuriate the student body-and hopefully try to avoid those things. I also imagine that at the end of this meeting, they swear to carry out their duties and stay away from "the List" (titled "This Will Probably Piss Our Students Off").

What's more reliable than your friends?

(01/11/07 5:00am)

We're back! Back in this Gothic Wonderland that we call Duke. Things will, at first, seem as if they have started off on a different foot (namely, the right one). Soon after the realization that Duke is the same place it was in 2006, we will resort to chimerical scenes while waiting for Spring Break. After having that week in March go by at the speed of light, we will sit lethargically in anticipation of Last Day of Classes. Three sheets to the wind every step of the way, dreaming of our wonderful hometowns.
