To Shop or Not to Shop

Black Friday marks the beginning of the Christmas season. It is a day that is anticipated by shopaholics and bargain hunters nationwide. It is the Superbowl of shopping, and as we have come to learn, only the tough can survive this adventure. People line up hours, in some cases a day ahead of time to […]

I’ll Do It Later!

I am a sworn Procrastinator. I have been doing it as long as I can remember. I actually remember being in grade school and my parents would have to sit me down and make me do my homework at the table because I didn’t want to do it right then, or at all. Sometimes I […]

The Politricks of Christmas

It has begun. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. The music that is being played even though it’s not yet Thanksgiving, the sales, the movies, the influx of people in the mall that has spontaneously regenerated out of thing air as if they have been hibernating for the past six months; the cold […]

Take A Bite Out of This

Did I Miss Something Here?

Hello Internet-Land! This week’s topic is Common Sense and Decorum: Old School Concept, or Myth? We have all heard the phrase, there is a time and a place for everything at one point or another, but it doesn’t seem to be taking effect in this world. Color me corny, but I don’t understand why people are just […]

Senioritis or Something Like It

I tend to get writer’s block a lot, and during my creative frustration, I was talking to my dad about how I had no idea what I wanted to write about this week, and he gave me the idea of writing about being a senior in college. I spent some time looking back on my […]

Free Health Care? or Free College?

I read this article on Yahoo about how states are now beginning to cut aid to college students. This is happening because of the recession. More people are asking for financial because more parents are losing their jobs, among other circumstances. States are struggling to balance budgets and are beginning to slash programs left and right.

History of College Humor On View at Wisconsin

The University of Wisconsin, that crucible of humor that gave America The Onion back in 1988, has been given a gift in kind—the largest collection of humor magazines perhaps ever assembled.
