Y'all know I'm transgender, right? Genderqueer, trans, whatever you feel comfortable with. I'm comfortable. But other people, they're just not that comfortable. I'll put it simply: I'm just plain queer all over the place. I'm queer in more ways than one. Certainly in more ways than I'll divulge publicly. And ye

Things are a whole hell of a lot easier when we were little. For many of us, the random concerns about school work, the world state of affairs, increasing bills, the failing economy, or what that hottie from the gym thought of us were far gone from our head. In fact, the biggest thing we had to w

Uh oh. Thousands of Georgia students may have wasted four years of their lives. And I don’t mean that like they partied too hard, drank away their days and skipped class at college on a regular basis.
I mean that like their school district just lost its accreditation

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 assau

...as does the rest of the newer architecture at Wesleyan. Why they keep hiring the same conservative firm is beyond me. There must be an alumni discount in there somewhere. What else can explain why Wesleyan keeps adding more ugly, soul-crushing architecture to its grounds? I'm not even being melodramatic, p

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

By Valencia Chang (09/03/2008 1:35 PM) The bus stop at Scott Hall looks a lot like a train station in India. The sheer number of people standing around in sweaty proximity is gives the illusion that America is about to become overpopulated (when, in fact, much of the heartland is still populated by corn and cattle

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.
