So, the guy you met at orientation was too cute, right? He plays soccer, from a small town and both his parents are still married. You may even have mutual friends on Facebook. After mingling with other classmates, he invites you back to his room to play with his Wii. As fun as this sounds, [...]

Dispatch Review
On Tuesday August 30 the band, Dispatch, came to the Pageant in the Loop. The Boston-based band includes members Brad Corrigan, Pete Francis Heimbold and Chad Urmston. The Pageant is one of my favorite venues in St. Louis so the fact that they were playing there was already a plus in my review. Another major [...]
What I Wish I Knew about Careers by Dr. Leilani Carver

Dating 101: They Always Come Back
It is an epidemic. You date a guy, it doesn’t work out for whatever reason, you break ties then out of nowhere he calls after two months of not talking. Ladies are guilty of grabbing the little black book in times of need as well so we can‘t be too mad at guys for doing [...]
WTF? Annoying Things People Do
WTF do some girls file their nails in class? Gross. WTF do people listen to their iPods/mp3 players so loudly that everyone around them can hear every single word and beat of the song? WTF do people chomp on their gum with their mouth wide open? And WTF do they “pop” it every 2 seconds? [...]
