Many of you have probably seen the viral YouTube video or at least heard about University of New Mexico soccer player Elizabeth Lambert.

Up until now, I don't think Thanksgiving has ever had a true meaning to me. Every year it entailed the same kind of thing: delicious food and a few days off from school.

I like food. I like the texture, the smell, but most of all, I like the variety. I like to try new things and especially new restaurants. Being at a school with a student kitchen and being on a campus with a massive number of eateries ensures that we have limitless dining options.

Something that I think everyone needs is a hobby. Nothing beats a stressful day at Uni like taking part in something that you enjoy. Whether you like playing sports or video games, reading, knitting, or even collecting stamps, all are good ways to relieve some stress and anger.

This past week I thought long and hard who should be the first great Will that I profile, and then it hit me: I should start with Wills where Wills started with me.

So here is a list of very memorable Wills from my childhood:

Wee Willie Winkie

Our ExploraVision team is investigating how to sleep efficiently and maximize the rapid eye movement (REM) sleep phase. The REM sleep phase has the most benefit to sleepers.

I have never been a huge fan of country music. When Taylor Swift came onto the scene, I just saw another country music singer. Not worth my time.

But somehow she seems to be creeping into more and more of my conversations, and I see her more and more on TV.

First I heard little blurbs about her:

For the past few days, I've been college visiting in Boston. Being a big city and all, there were no shortages things to do and places to see.

William is a very powerful name.

It came from the Germanic roots Wil, meaning "will or desire", and Helm, meaning "helmet, protection." Hence a person named William is a determined protector, someone who will give up at nothing to protect what he has set out to keep safe.

One of my many current blog obsessions is "Stuff White People Like." This is by far the most engaging blog I've encountered, and it strays far from my normal read.

You probably expected to see a 9/11 memorial rise from "Ground Zero." Perhaps a symbolic statue or a new building would stand in that spot, to symbolize our resilience in the face of terrorism. However, a memorial to the World Trade Center was unveiled today … in New York Harbor.

I have found something amazing on YouTube. Actually, about 70 amazing somethings. Seventy amazing 10-year-old singing somethings.

After a seriously sick (ill, not demented) couple of weeks here at school, Uni is finally getting the H1N1 vaccine.

You've probably heard the news by now: The future of journalism is changing. As the digital age progresses, Web sites, online feeds, and Twitter have become as commonplace as the local newsstand once was.

What, then, if the need to write stories altogether were to disappear entirely?

According to a blog in The New York Times, the need to write recaps of sporting events could become a thing of the past. At Northwestern University, a program generates recaps of baseball games based on their box scores. You provide the stats, the quotes, and the pictures, and the bot does the rest.

As Uni's numbers bounce back from last week's first major wave of flu-related absences, let us refrain from dwelling on the nasty specifics of swine flu. Instead, let us focus our efforts on sprucing up the aura of this horrid malady.
