I often feel frazzled whenever I turn on the evening news and am bombarded by dozens of different stories at once. The broadcasters themselves switch quickly from topic to topic, the ticker at the bottom of the screen is constantly flashing headlines within seconds of each other, and sometimes there's even a bar feeding you a steady stream of updates on what people are "tweeting" about.

I admit it--I've never been a particularly concise person. I like to talk and, consequently, talk very much. Sometimes I talk about interesting things, oftentimes about uninteresting things, but always about something; just ask anyone who knows me, and they can surely testify.

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!

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

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!"

O Senior Lounge

O senior lounge, O senior lounge
Your couches are so comfy
We love to sleep or maybe flirt
Or play GameCube till our fingers hurt
O senior lounge, O senior lounge
Your couches are so comfy

O senior lounge, O senior lounge
Forever true your handprints
They give walls an artsy feeling
There's "gullible" on the ceiling
O senior lounge, O senior lounge

"I like this one." "NO! This one is taller, we should get it." "That one is too tall, it would scrape the ceiling and there won't be room for the star on top!"

Sound familiar? It sounds like a family trying to choose the perfect Christmas tree.

I've always been a critic of music. It has presented itself to me as something that deserves to be investigated. As a critic, I've always felt that today's music industry has been slipping in comparison to the golden days of rock and roll back in the '60s and '70s with the glory of the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix. But it seems like recently that has started to change.

I know that this Transportation Security Administration (TSA) thing has been written to death in the media, but I still feel like most stories miss the point.

Ever since I first took my first Air Force 1 clad step into the halls of Uni High, I have heard seniors complaining about the stress of the college process.

It finally feels like fall and, if you ask me, this is one of the best times of the year. Here are five reasons why:

1. Leaves

I wake up too drowsy to shower every morning, especially after a night of last-minute history papers and math problems.

Whenever I went to work early in the morning at some research buildings over the summer, my hair was always disheveled. This was hardly a professional look and contributing to the awkwardness was the fact that I was working with suave graduate students and veteran engineers.

Remember how at the end of every episode of The Big Comfy Couch, Loonette would look around and say, "Who made this big mess?" Then she would shrug, commenting, "Me? I did, didn't I? Then I guess I have to clean it up. It's only fair. Get ready for the ten second tidy." And off she would go, cleaning in high speed.

Everyone has things that can brighten their day. My top-ten list of the things that make me happy are all regular, everyday things.

1. Chocolate

In the previously unenlightened time of my life, I wore skinny-legged denim daily and found myself unable to move about as freely as I would like. I made a trip to a local apparel store and purchased a pair of leggings. Soon, I owned more black leggings than pairs of jeans.
