Don't Drink the Water

No, there isn't any blood in the water. 

It's the first day back to Bing, and there are signs everywhere banning water consumption.  The signs are hand written, and look as though they were put up urgently.  Apparently something in the filtration system burst, causing a the water to be contaminated.

I read about the talk of a new bill coming into effect regarding "A Woman's Right to Light," in this month's issue of Cosmopolitan.  It briefly mentioned the need for women to be protected, under the law, from police impersonators, as well as corrupt officers.  There have been quite a few cases in the past few yea

True Life: I Was Scammed.

I considered not writing this post at all.  It's embarrassing that I, someone who likes to think they're a reasonably intelligent person, could fall for something so utterly simple, so obviously scheming.  But, I figure I might just be doing you all a service in admitting to my little mistake  .  If I could fall f

I don't have much personal experience or beef, for that matter, with Newing, but two of my suite mates are former residents of the dorm.  They, on the other hand, have some serious resentment toward the community. Here's what they had to say...

While I wouldn't know much about living in Mountainview, current and former residents of the castles up on the hill were able to give me a taste pf what it's life.  I still can't help but wonder, is the view really worth that hike?

Maybe I'm biased, but let's face it, College-in -the-Woods is the place to live on campus.  It's conveniently located by the library, Lecture Hall, etc.  It's the most laid back of the communities, and essentially, it's where all the cool kids live.
