Facebook Revisited at Boston University

Facebook Revisited at Boston University

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 ...

Rutgers: Victory Parade

Rutgers: Victory Parade

On the uncharacteristically warm evening of November 4th, 2008, Barack Obama was declared the winner of the election around 11 PM, and deliriously overjoyed college students flooded the streets of New Brunswick in celebration. Most were drunk on happiness (and in general) as they passed through downtown New Brunswick. After our happy mob swept t...

Hot (and Deadly) Rutgers Grad: Sarah Modiano

Hot (and Deadly) Rutgers Grad: Sarah Modiano

Sarah Modiano (Rutgers '08) is quite a character. She's not only great fun to have at parties, a warm and hilarious presence, but also one of the most ass-kicking-capable women who went to Rutgers.

 

Formerly a prominent member of the Rutgers Taekwondo Club, Sarah placed first as the the ATA-Xtreme Weapons World Champion at the 2007 Songahm Taek...

Rutgers Commences Accepting Nominations for Commencement Speaker

We're less than a month into the new school year, but it's already time to plan for the end. Nomination forms for honorary degrees, and (more interestingly) commencement speakers are up on the Rutgers website.

 

Harvard had J.K Rowling as their commencement speaker last year. We will not be able to afford her, but it would be great if someone sm...

Girl on the Verge of Sex Change Rants, Wonders Why Other Girls are "PMSing Sissie Assheads"

Girl on the Verge of Sex Change Rants, Wonders Why Other Girls are "PMSing Sissie Assheads"

Marina Louie, Rutgers '10, hates girls so much that she needed the world to know, and there's no better way to communicate her loathing than through a Facebook note, aptly titled "girls are STUPID pt1". I never thought I'd see a note produced with such title coming from a source other than a 9-year-old boy or a Calvin & Hobbes Comic.

 

The note ...

NBA Star Moonlights as Pathetic Stalker?

NBA Star Moonlights as Pathetic Stalker?

Shaq is kind of gross looking. But at least, he's not really idolized for his looks as much as his rockstar-like spoiledness and his ball-playing skills, which still gets a lot of women wanting to sleep with him.

 

He doesn't seem like the picky type, so why is he terrorizing this one woman -- a relatively unknown hip-hop artist who goes by the ...

The Best & Worst Off-Campus Housing

The Boston Globe reported that a new housing project for UMass Lowell was halted because the public construction project never went through state bidding; it was just handed off to a private developer. Now this over packed campus will have to wait a long while before appropriate housing is built to accommodate its students. 

 

UMass isn’t the ...

Politically Incorrect College Moments

Politically Incorrect College Moments

In an increasingly sensitive nation, it seems nothing mildly risqué can be said without someone crying an –ism (racism, ageism, anti-feminism - you get the picture). The latest bout of political incorrectness is Dreamworks’ Tropic Thunder.

 

The movie, which premieres next week, stars blackfaced Robert Downey Jr. and also includes a subplot star...
