Today I was chatting with one of my Profs about an article in the Daily News about a Ball State professor who makes his students hand write their papers.

I am a political-science minor and a self-professed CNN junkie, so election time can be as exciting for me as SuperBowl XLI will be for the Colts fans here at Ball State. But even I cannot wrap my head around all of the media hype involving the 2008 election. Every time I turn on the [...]

Last week, just after the first major snowfall of the year, I was reminded once again why I love college. My neighbors built a 7-foot-tall snow-phallus.

This year I find myself going through withdrawal pains . . . for I am without a DVR!!!I have had a DVR in my life for the past three years, be it through satellite or digital cable and I expected this year to be just like the others. However I was shocked and appalled […]

It's OK - I'll admit to it.My name is David, and I am an AOL user.((HI David!))When cable internet first arrived at my home in 2002, I was ecstatic. Finally, I could surf the Web the same way I had at school, using just a browser and an IM client. I said "Ciao" to the [...]
