What the hell?
Now, I know that some people will argue that Heath Ledger does not necessarily deserve an Oscar just because...
Earlier in the semester I wrote an article about Facebook and it generated quite a bit of buzz. I tried (unsuccessfully) to ween myself off of Facebook. It lasted for about a month, and then I felt left out and went crawling back.
I still have a lot of the same issues with the website, but I'm learning to deal with it; however, the one thing ...
Election time is full of news, and it's important, but the consequences of voting will take a while to come to fruition.

It’s easy sometimes to feel like you’re living in a bubble while in college. You probably live in a dorm, where janitors clean the bathrooms for you. You probably get away with waking up at 10:30 am for 11am classes.

Apparently causing a commotion doesn’t end after college. At least, not if you’re John Troy Miller, 41, and his wife Jennifer Miller, 36.
