Spring Break
When I was 10 years old, I didn't own a cell phone. I didn't use anti-bacterial soap, my parents usually weren't sure where I was until dinner time, and I didn't have a babysitter watching over me - that's what my older sister was for. There was no tracking device in my backpack, my clothes or on my bike.
Does anyone else have an AIM stalker? I'm 26 years old, and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Is there some sort of lesbian rant quota? Enough already. What exactly do I have to do to get a new filter for the air conditioner in my dorm? I have called like three times and nothing has been done.
Say hello to little Billy. Recently, Billy has been noticing some changes. The Galley has transformed into an all-you-can-eat eatery. Todd Dining Hall is undergoing renovations for the fall semester. Why, there is even talk of a Popeye's Chicken & Biscuits and an Applebee's down the road! Aramark and Todd Johnson over at Campus Dining sure are having loads of fun! Come and join Billy on this swell adventure as we travel through the halls of Campus Dining.
In previous columns, I have extolled the virtues of Barack Obama and expressed my dissatisfaction with Elizabeth Dole … but don't get the idea I'm a left-winger. Republican candidates can bring about the same change at the state level that Democrats can at the federal level.
Texting has become the chosen communication between college-aged students today. Calling and leaving voicemails are things of the past. New abbreviations of words, slang and short phrases are used in this somewhat complex new language. I am personally a fan because it allows me to have a conversation while, for instance, doing homework or looking something up online.
