I was following this truck home from the holyoke mall. at the light before the interstate drive intersection, i spied one awesome bumper sticker. it went along the lines of "if you can read this, thank a teacher. if you can read this in ENGLISH, thank a soldier ( Read more... )

I don't feel so bad starting work at Aeropostale when I look at their prices. Sure, they're gonna make some money on each item but it isn't so glaringly unfair (american eagle's $40 plaid shorts for example). Yeah aero probably has lesser quality products than AE and Abercrombie. But that chain follows the prep brands of Polo, Lacoste, Nautica, ( Read more... )

There's so much talk about Obama's political inexperience. Yet G.W. was governor of Texas for about six years (less if you factor in campaign time for the 2000 election). G.W. was busy with private enterprise before that, excluding a failed 1978 congressional bid. obama was an illinois state senator from 96-04, a US Senator from 2005-now. hilary ( Read more... )

Dean's book and BDIC = enough writing for one semester. i've dropped that america at the turn of century class. if kept, it would mean i'd be in class from 9-3 on tuesdays with BDIC topping off the day at 4 ( Read more... )

TANCREDO: This is the problem. We should not be encouraging that. They are living in the United States of America. This country - my grandparents, when they came here, they would not let my parents speak Italian. They only let them speak English ( Read more... )

So I applied for a single on campus everywhere (well technically Orchard Hill isn't offering anything but doubles) but Northeast (they have enough asians as it is). It'd be slightly awkward if I were to move into a single down the hall or on another floor due to seniors graduating mid-year. i wouldn't mind a single in another central building as ( Read more... )
