Kids these days. They're just so overextended. On top of the academic pressures (taking five classes, plus an Independent Study with a professor and weekly tutoring session), college students pile on the extracurriculars (President of the Outing Club, Treasurer of the Model UN, and unpaid term-time intern at the Center for the Humanities). On top of that, throw in a social life and some hard-core napping. It's exhausting, really, even to think about.
Yet, somehow, college students manage to find opportunity to mess around on the Internet. Spending time passively absorbing information online quickly feels like procrastination, and procrastination quickly makes one feel guilty (case in point: Facebook.com -- which sucks hours, yes, HOURS, from our lives.)
Blogging provides constructive distraction from whatever paper needs writing or midterm needs studying for. Whether you're at college, have already graduated or are dying to get in, and you want to know what's happening on campus, get to know these ten college students who keep blogs. They tell it like it is.

Last night was the WOUB party/potluck that Erica and I planned. Originally, it was Erica's idea and she mentioned to me a few weeks ago that we should have some kind of get-together at the end of the summer because she'd heard our boss talking about the staff parties they used to have occasionally. She and I are kind of...

What to make of this article? Julia, our in-house Machiavellist (barring our anonymous lurkers, of course), has not responded to my questions about whether Machiavelli had a "communitarian daydream," and I've gone too many years without reading Machiavelli to be able to say for certain. I want to agree that redemption is a...

I got hit by a car today walking back to work. I was already halfway across the intersection and this guy in a gigantic truck had a red light, but he rolled way, way out past the stop line and fucking HIT ME. The grill of the car was at my shoulder-height, that's how gigantic this truck was.The whole time I thought he was...

In the introduction to Tony Judt's Reappraisals is a lament for the twentieth century we have forgotten; that is to say that we have forgotten his version of the twentieth century, in which the welfare state pretty much averted World Wars III, IV, and V (try disproving that). It's also a lament for the public intellectual,...

Look, the NYT finds that caffeine consumption up to a "reasonable amount" (according to their calculation, that's about 32 oz. of coffee a day--roughly the volume of a canteen, I might point out) is good for you in every way possible, and bad in none. (Ok, it doesn't help you lose weight, but maybe that's not the coffee's...

So one week ago I was in Georgia. Originally I was just going to drive down there myself, but JJ put me in touch with another music director and a training director at a station up at Michigan State who also wanted to go, but didn't want to drive the entire way themselves. So we made plans for them to drive down to Athens,...

[EDIT: Also, I apologize that every voicepost I make is filled with so much swearing. It seems like I only post them when I'm extremely pissed off.]

SmartBike DC is here, right outside my office, waiting for me to register, which I would totally do if a thousand other people did it first. I like the idea of bike-sharing (it was very utopian when Alex and I saw it in Barcelona), but I would also like not to be run over by a car, so I would only participate when half the...
