Nintendo 64 > Finals

One thing I would not have been able to tell you about being a freshman at Syracuse–until actually becoming a freshman at ‘Cuse–is the importance of Nintendo 64 to freshmen boys. I don’t know if it’s just all freshmen boys or the ones in my particular hall, but if there is one thing for girls [...]

Home for the Holidays

Being back at home after three months of ‘Cuse college life is quite the adjustment to say the least. Not only is home starting to not feel like home anymore, but doing activities and going to places that once felt normal are starting to feel, well, really weird. Here is a list of the top [...]

Lube — A College Necessity

Is this really necessary? I could not help but do a double take recently at the lube dispenser I saw in the women’s bathroom of Goldstein Student Center on South Campus. That’s right, I said lube. Just as Jonah Hill sarcastically commented in “Superbad, ”“Oh Evan, thank you for bringing that lube for my pussy. [...]

Two Weeks Notice

Many of us freshmen will be going home for Thanksgiving break in a mere two weeks and will be reuniting with not only family and close friends, but also judgmental high school kids. Whether you choose to see people that are still in high school or not, just know that there is one thing they [...]

Top 5 Spots for Freshmen

Life as a freshman can get lonely at times; you’re still in the process of making new friends as you slowly realize that some of the people you’ve been required to hang out with thus far (roommates, floor mates, people in class, etc.) are beginning to annoy the shit out of you. For those in [...]

Midterms Are Over, Time to Celebrate!

Midterms are finally over! And just in time to get completely shitfaced for Halloween. (Because we all know you’re thinking it.) But, don’t let that be the only form of celebration you give yourself after studying your ass off for the first big tests of the year (that is assuming you studied…). Try treating yourself [...]

Retainers–A College Faux Paus?

It’s a general understanding that retainers are just gross and a total reminder of middle school. Actually, I take that back; ALL oral tools (braces, retainers, mouth guards, etc.) are just plain disgusting and should only be worn during or before puberty. But what do you do when you are supposed to wear your retainer [...]

“I can’t go out, (cough, cough), I’m sick.”

The “sick card” is something we all have played before in order to get out of going out on that night you just feel like watching a move in bed or skipping your least favorite class.  But since arriving at ‘Cuse, it seems as though every freshman I know has played this card multiple times [...]

The Horrors of Communal Bathrooms

One of the biggest adjustments for any freshman is sharing a communal bathroom with everyone who lives on your floor in your dorm. Whether you are a guy or girl, it’s odd to see the occasional pubic hair show up on the toilet seat or that wad of hair on the shower drain. Recently, I’ve [...]

Did You Know 17-Year-Old Hipsters Could Be Professors?

In one of my classes (I won’t name which one), I have the biggest fucking hipster as my professor. At first, I thought he was the TA or just someone filling in for the day.  But, I was wrong. This professor who will remain anonymous wears cuffed skinny jeans, the same button down shirt, Woody Allen [...]
