Love Knows No Bound(ries): Falling for a Foreign Hottie

July 5, 2008 - 3:00 pm , By Marc--Michigan State

The world is getting smaller. The combination of an increasingly rapid advancement of technology and the expansion of the global market has created a world in which…blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. We’ve all heard this before, and quite frankly, it’s old news. The real story isn’t the world getting smaller, it’s the fact that the dating scene is getting bigger.

With the growing popularity of studying abroad and the numerous travel opportunities presented to students the chances of meeting your soul-mate are getting better. We’re no longer stuck scouring classes, the library, or a bar for potential hook-ups; given a couple of months overseas (or weeks in some cases) and a cursory understanding of a foreign language the number of places to meet the next Mr. or Mrs. Right are almost endless.

The Daily Shocker: Tom Hanks is Lost in MySpace

October 23, 2007 - 4:15 pm , By Josh - UMASS, Lowell

The Daily Shocker

Tom Hanks, 51, has a real down-to-earth, normal MySpace page, complete with tell-all blogs and video. And get this: he pimped out his profile all by himself! You know something’s wrong with the world when Tom Hanks is the second most-famous “Tom” on MySpace.

To safeguard yourself from knocking-up your girl turn to the Lady Comp, a device that detects if a girl is ovulating or not. It looks like an alarm clock. The future is now.

Some teachers teach, some have sexual relations with their students; others blow the f*** up on their students at the drop of a dime.

These analogies are surreal, like a Keebler elf skiing down a citrus mountain.

When an adolescent game of “show me yours and I’ll show you mine” is documented on a cell phone, child-on-child pornography happens.

Give the SNL actor/drummer some!

When your country is down and out the always-reliable “hot babes in bikinis” route works wonders.

Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite… Really

October 23, 2007 - 9:30 am , By Andrew - University of Michigan

Bed, bed bugs, college

We all know the quote: “Sleep tight… Don’t let the Bed Bugs bite!”

For the majority of my lifetime, I’ve shrugged off that quote, certain that bugs in my bed that would bite me in my sleep were no more real than the boogyman in my closet who would emerge from my open closet in order to rip my head off (of course, to this day I can’t fall asleep without completely shutting my closet door, but that’s neither here nor there).

Unfortunately, both for my ever-changing sense of reality and for our collective health, bed bugs are not only very real, but they are very rapidly becoming a country-wide epidemic. Yes, those bed bugs are biting, and weary people everywhere are lamenting their lack of tight sleeps and bodies covered in itchy, annoying bites. Read More »

A Tribute to Frozen Mini Tacos

August 14, 2007 - 6:00 pm , By Todd - American University

tacos

Have you ever wanted dinner but were too lazy to actually prepare something? Have you ever been in the mood for tacos but didn’t want to deal with all the ingredients spilling out when you took a bite? Take heart, if you’re a lazy taco lover like myself; there is a compromise: frozen mini tacos.

They have all the ingredients of regular tacos: the meat, the spices, the cheese, the hard shell, but they’re smaller and pre-prepared. These bite size gifts from Heaven are the perfect treat for any college student that is pulling an all nighter, Read More »
