Vex and the Verm
The Good, The Bad and The Missing TV
How big are the dorm rooms? In North Complex, where I have been living for the past two years, they are 10’7” x 15’4”. That is about 165 square feet shared between two people. I’ve lived in less than 83 square feet to call my own for two years. After a while this takes a […]

* Vex /veks/ verb: To distress, trouble, harass, worry, or annoy (a person, a group, a person’s thoughts or feelings, etc.). This one is personal. For two years in a row, I have been denied a position as an RA here at University Housing. Granted, as mentioned in my last column, I didn’t even […]
Vex and the Verm – A Column: Farewell, Berlin

Vex and the Verm – a column: Nathan Goes Greek, A Real Story of Rushing
For starters, I am not the type of person who would ever rush. That was until I learned what Greek life is really like. Going into this I had some predetermined guesses on which houses I would like or could get into. I also had a decent amount of friends in different ones, which may […]
Vex and the Verm – a column: Shall Old Acquaintances Be Forgot?
I have always been one for dramatics. Part of me believes that it also makes me just more observant of the world around me, What I have noticed the most, is the lack of friends around. For the past few weeks since arriving back to campus, I have felt a bit of […]
