“Who are you, the Fashion Police?”
As someone who came from 12 years of Catholic school uniforms, where the only customization I could do to my outfit was the length of my skirt, college was the first time I could wear what I wanted every day. But with this clothing freedom came the old age question...
Ranking Dining Options on Campus
This should be fun. I am not going to waste time, so I will go directly to the disclaimers. First, this ranking is my personal opinion. Second, no criticism is aimed at the workers; all of them are great and I appreciate them greatly. This is a list based on...
Where Are My Fabulous Friends?
If you watched any movies about college before you came to Ursinus, you know that the main character somehow always finds their best friends on the first day of school and stays with them for the rest of their lives. Or, you’re like me and watched Sex and The City...
