Think of every romantic comedy you’ve seen. Now combine them all into a giant, jumbled, cliché mess and you have created New Year’s Eve. At first glance, with its all-star cast, this film may look promising, but then you think again of every other movie chock full of big names and you remember how angry they left you. This particular “rom-com” takes the audience through … Continue reading My resolution? To never again watch New Year’s Eve

Many remember March 29, 1998 as the day that an F3 tornado hit St. Peter, causing devastating damage to the campus. Students returned from spring break to find their cars totaled and their campus in ruins. Now, 14 years later, we look upon this day as one that brought everyone together in a time of need—to rebuild the campus that everyone believed was beyond repair. … Continue reading Reflecting on Tragedy

The game, called Mu, came complete with every reason there was to get hooked, at about half the production value, with no subscription fee or price. English speakers were a minority in this online world, so when … Continue reading Use your words
There has been a great deal of political posturing the last year or so over the national debt. Both sides agree that the deficit and the debt need to shrink. Unfortunately, that is where their agreement ends. The Republicans maintain that the only way to shrink the debt is through program cuts alone, while the Democrats believe that some programs will need to be cut … Continue reading A deficit of reason
Apathy is hard to come by at Gustavus. Seriously. Even those whose lives revolve around such seemingly apathetic activities as skipping class and all-day Call of Duty marathons most likely watch enough of The Daily Show online to have a cause célèbre of choice. It’s hard to come here and find nothing to champion, no club through which to galvanize fellow students into support, no … Continue reading The love vote
“It may look like I was being a bitch, but that’s only because I was acting like a bitch.” Remember this quote from Mean Girls? Everyone has an opinion and everyone else has criticisms. It is impossible to do anything anymore without offending someone. Political correctness inhibits what people say, do and think, and these inhibitions shape the United States in everything from public policies … Continue reading This article has been f#*@&$! censored
After disregarding homework completely on “Selection Sunday,” I read blog after blog of statistical analysis on the most likely upsets. I watched Digger Phelps point his stupid Sharpie Marker at me for two straight hours during ESPN’s Bracketology special at 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. I was certain Murray State and their 30-1 regular season record were an elite eight lock. Not so fast. I tried … Continue reading March Mayhem
