Buy some earplugs. Block your window seams and the cracks under your doors. They're coming.

Yes, in just a couple of weeks, after a few more warm days, it will be too loud to go outside. At night you will toss and turn, trying to block out the sound. It will be unforgettable.

Hey y'all. I'm sure nobody even needs me to remind them, but seniors officially have 11 more days of school. Since graduation is almost upon us, it's nice to supply troublemakers with some ideas to wreak havoc on the school since, well, we're graduating!

One of my favorite things about living in the age of information technology is the contact. No, not the lenses I precariously stick to my corneas every morning, but the little snippets of information that tell me how to get in-touch with anyone.

Recently (but before he performed at the Canopy Club), I discovered Greg Gillis, known to his fans as Girl Talk. Girl Talk is an interesting and innovative artist who has been around for awhile; he creates mashup remixes by combining samples of many songs in a way that blends them into a seamless whole.

Since we had no school this past Friday, my mother and I decided to join one of her friends in volunteering our time. We spent two and a half hours at the New Covenant Fellowship of Champaign, Illinois helping out in their daily (Monday to Friday) soup kitchen. From 10 a.m.

Uni offers some truly special opportunities, and I hope that before everyone graduates they can experience as many of them as possible. Here's my list:

1. Get to know all your classmates
Be friendly enough to have had a real conversation with everyone in the class--you could make a connection, learn something new, or at least know that you tried.

Here I am sitting in the Mac Lab. Just doing some journalism work and minding my own business. Then this boisterous voice looms over the music coming out of my headphones and starts rambling and rambling. I have no idea what she is saying and I don't feel like it's directed at me but I feel like I should be courteous enough to listen.

Uni courses are noted for their flexible teaching styles and commitment to Uni's tradition of being a lab school.

The other day my friend and I went to Bevande to get hot chocolate. This was my first time visiting there this year. When the cashier asked me what size I wanted for my hot chocolate, I looked up at the menu. What did I expect to see? Small, Medium, and Large. What did I see? Grande, Media, Piccola.

My challenge to write 365 poems, one for each day of the year, has been successful for 110 days. That's right, I've written 110 poems, and, fortunately, I've followed all the rules I set in my first blog about this.

Ordinarily, I would have never considered writing a blog about the debate between Macs and PCs. I am pretty indifferent to the kind of computer that I'm using, as long as it's working well. That's why I sometimes get irritated when people get into heated discussions about which computer is better.

The Macs vs. PCs debate has been one of the most popular debates (at least for me) for the past 5 years. I'll come right out and say it, I love PCs. I'm somewhat indifferent to Macs though.

In this day and age, there are a lot of people who think classical music is boring. I hate to admit it but I am one of those people.

For the past few weeks, I've been following the story of the bill that passed the House of Representatives on March 17 that would cut funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS).

I have always been interested in music. Be it classical pieces by Bach or Mozart or current day hits, such as Katy Perry's "Fireworks", anything really floats my boat. When people ask me what kind of music I like to listen to I will respond, "Anything you put on I will end up enjoying!"
