In case you haven’t heard — or haven’t left your house for the past couple of weeks — the leader of our country for the next four years is about to be decided. But with all the hype over the presidential election, local and state elections are often overshadowed. This isn’t to say that the […]
Sometimes, the best thing for an overworked college student to do is to take a night off, relax and watch some TV. Yet, some students, like myself, don’t have the luxury of cable and its endless hours of quality programming. Fortunately, there is something much better – and cheaper – than television.

I heard a less-than-humorous joke once that went something like this: “A woman doesn’t want to spend her life cooking and cleaning, so she goes to college where she meets the man for whom she spends the rest of her life cooking and cleaning.” I know, my feminist senses are tingling too, but considering that […]
