Winter break is coming soon, and it’s time to get friendly with public transportation again. Here are a few pieces of advice and information about the transportation systems here in Syracuse, for those who aren’t familiar with them yet. Greyhound: I’m personally a Greyhound fan, as I’ve been with these guys since I was a [...]

Hell Week
Posted: December 8, 2011 by jerkmag in SENIORTags: Bird, Carnegie, Ellie Sul, finals, library, study space, syracuse university
Yes, the week of red bull consumption, sleepless nights, and pajama fashion has come its way. Finals week. It’s weird because for me, I have all my finals and papers due this week, not during the actual finals week. Therefore, I got to purchase my plane ticket to Korea for the 12th, while everyone else [...]
Dear Underclassmen, This One’s for You.
Posted: November 18, 2011 by jerkmag in SENIORTags: class schedule, Ellie Sul, freshman year, relationships, time management, underclassmen, upperclassmen
When I was an underclassman in college, I remember hearing and receiving many different kinds of advice from the upperclassmen. However, I never took it to heart. I just kind of nodded and let it flow in one ear and out the other. Now that I’m a senior, I look back and regret not listening [...]
Myslice Time

Class registration for Spring 2012 officially began this past week and still, I have not figured out my schedule yet. Either the classes I want to get in are reserved for freshmen only, or they are already full. Yes, I’m a senior and STILL can’t get into the classes I want. FML. But what’s good about [...]
All Asians DO NOT Look Alike

One of the things I’ve noticed in my years at Syracuse University thus far is that more and more students of Asian descent have been coming to our school. It’s interesting because I’ve heard that just six or seven years ago, Asians were a bit of a rarity at SU. Since our campus now promotes and literally displays [...]
A Year of Lasts
Posted: November 7, 2011 by jerkmag in SENIORTags: Ellie Sul, lasts, memories, sentimental
It was finally the holiday we were all waiting for. A time when any girl can be excused dressing up like a slut and not being called one, a time to dress up as anything and not be called crazy, and a time to just let loose and eat as many sweets as possible. In [...]
Is Winter the Season of Love?
Posted: November 3, 2011 by jerkmag in SENIORTags: Cuddle, Ellie Sul, impulse, love, Pillow Pet, relationships, weather, winter, winter romance
It seems the season of love is fast approaching, as fall is coming to an abrupt close and winter is nearing. Many people say they get more lonely and wanting of a relationship when the weather gets chilly. Weird that the weather has an effect on love? Not really. Both girls and guys get that [...]
College Friendships: Through Thick and Thin

After catching up with a friend of mine who I’ve known since freshman year, I’m not going to lie– it was pretty awkward. I don’t know how that friend felt about our reunion, but I’m pretty sure the feeling was mutual. It’s sad how that happens. I knew this person since Day One of my [...]
A Severe Case of Senioritis

It’s a shame I’m saying this, but yes, I have gotten the infamous Senioritis…already. I have all the symptoms of it: wanting to skipping class, no motivation whatsoever, mood swings, boredom, laziness, unproductive all-nighters, and lounging around everywhere. What sucks the most is that it’s midterm week and I caught this deadly disease. But I think I know what [...]
