One of the most awkward encounters in life is getting a haircut done from someone new. So many social issues are at play. Should I talk or just remain silent? What do I even talk about? Is it rude to if I don’t talk?
Unfortunately, my hair stylist was out sick this week and I was forced to get it cut by someone new. I let her take the lead, an...
As I’ve mentioned before, it seems that every time I want to write a blog post, something involving crime happens at Maryland.
This time, it’s not the crime itself making the news, but the lack of communication regarding it. According to the Diamondback, an attempted kidnapping on August 13th was not texted to students because it wasn’t report...
In a completely surprising move, University President Dan Mote has signed a petition urging the examination of the legal drinking age.
I always thought Dan was a bit of a stiff, but apparently he was just hiding the party boy within him. Of course, the stiff side of Dan denies it, saying the point of the petition is to engage administrators an...
For anyone wondering when they would finally be able to party again with their obnoxious Greek brethren, or have been missing a bar that will screw up any kind of mixed drink, waiting time is over.
According to the Diamondback, Cornerstone is finally re-opening, after having to undergo extensive repairs due to a vandalizing incident.
I can o...
Maryland is, and always will be, known as a basketball school. Our basketball team, over the years, has done so much more than our football team, although both suck nowadays.
Despite all of that, you still need to go to the football games. All of them. And tailgate too.
The environment at a football game is second to none. Everybody going nu...
We all want to feel like we’re big and strong and can take of ourselves. So, what’s the big deal if we’re walking home alone late at night. I can take care of myself!
Wrong. In case you hadn’t heard, College Park is dangerous. Really dangerous. As in, “no big deal to be assaulted/mugged/have a flip flop stolen” kind of dangerous. It’s not cons...
As a freshman, I’m sure you’re carrying around a fake. Which is great, because the bars here are great. Just one thing-make sure you know the details on your fake. For instance, know when you’re supposedly born, know where you’re from, and know a little bit about your supposed home state. Basically, avoid what happened to an OTR tipster:
Bounc...
OK, so you weren’t the most athletic kid in high school. That’s great! Chances are, you’re a nerd and need to make friends. If that is the case (or you just like sports), make sure you sign up for intramurals.
Almost everyone sucks any ways (except for those washed up high school athletes who take it way too seriously-you know who you are) so ...
I know, I know, you’ve already registered for classes. Still, it’s not too late to sign up for one of the best classes at Maryland.
For starters, it’s only once a week so you won’t be devoting too much time to it. Secondly, you basically will have zero work to do. No, literally, zero work.
Seriously, your “work” will be something along the l...
With school right around the corner, I figured now would be a good time to impart some of my wisdom on the new freshies who have invaded campus.
Up first is the easiest piece of advice of all. Whether you partied hard in high school or were a nerd, you still most likely think it’s a pretty good idea to go to class on the first day. I mean, if ...
