Whether it’s midterms, finals, or just a regular old examination, the same ritual gets repeated: procrastinate studying for exam, freak out about studying for exam, stay up until 3 a.m. cramming, and then drag yourself out of bed, throw on some sweats, and run
When most people hear about an art heist, they tend to picture masked men in black sneaking into museums in the dead of night and dodging high tech security devices.

Explain your name (please!) The name stems from an experience that Judah had as a child while spending time with his father in Israel. His father lived near the Sea of Galilee, and the kids all used to have diving competitions to see who could go the deepest. One day, Judah dove to the bottom
How can an abstract picture book of a dozen or so sentences be fleshed out into a 90-minute feature film, let alone a 300-page novel? And who would ever have the nerve to do so with such a beloved book as Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are? Somehow Spike Jonze and Dave Eggers thought
As students, we should be disappointed with the way Obama’s healthcare legislation has been reported to the millions of anxious Americans watching intently. For a bill so relevant to each and every one of us living in America, whether in school or in the working world, the press has covered the hotheaded arguing and name-calling
What is it that can turn rational, well-adjusted individuals into raving lunatics after just a hook up or two? Anthropologists, psychologists, and biologists call it the addiction of romantic love, and I’m here to break it down. Maybe you met him in the basement of AEPi and took a break from rubbing your ass up
