An historic election is only 19 days away. No matter which candidate you support, it is more important than ever to get involved and assist in electing our next president. Students and young people across the country are taking their role in this election and the political process very seriously. From volunteering for the party of their choice to registering voters, and everything in between, our generation is getting involved like never before. And some are going even further. David Modigliani, a Harvard grad with an MFA from University of Texas, is an ordinary 20-something who went to extraordinary lengths to involve himself in the political process. Modigliani saw an issue in the Bush administration and politics in general and wanted to get the real story. Read More »

So why not switch The Game up on him?

You Smell Better During your Period!
This is awesome! Women smell better when they are menstruating.
UT - Austin surveyed 52 men who were asked to test the scent of 18 worn t-shirts worn by women in various phases of their menstrual cycle. Almost all of the guys in the experiment, 1 guy was gay - so his doesn’t really count, found the shirts worn during the girl’s period to be the most enticing.
Sadly, this is when a woman is least fertile…therefore, least likely to get pregnant.
But, when Aunt Flow comes over to stay no one is really excited to jump into bed anyway…
So, other than all those religious fundementalists who think womens’ ovulation is dirty and unnatural, every other man thinks it is when we are at our sexiest.
The question is, how eager are WE to have sex during our period?

College Rankings: Do We Really Care?
I pored over the U.S. News and World Report’s college rankings when I was a senior in high school. How far up could I go, I wondered? What was the most-highly ranked college I could get into?
I mean, I knew I was Harvard-caliber, I just didn’t have the grades– I was above grades! I could have totally gone Ivy-League if I had wanted to, but I chose the route of a small school with a philosophy, a mission (and a respectable ranking).
My freshman year, I ended up at a small liberal arts school that was ranked #30. Not bad, considering it was ranked #25 in terms of selectivity. I figured its teeny endowment brought the main ranking down. I was satisfied, my family was satisfied, my peers were satisfied. I had landed.
But when I got to college, of course, I realized that these rankings meant absolutely nothing. What did I care about my college’s freshman retention or alumni - giving rate? And the insidiously low student to faculty ratio was moot if you were in a crappy class in which none of the other six students talked. I found myself pining for large, anonymous lecture classes. Did I wanted a lower - ranked education?
The old, corny adage rings true over and over again: college is what you make of it. Seriously. All campuses have pretty trees and old buildings. All student bodies have geniuses and idiots. Yale has a dining hall. Podunk University in Mississippi has a dining hall.
And they both have horrible food. It’s all the same. Read More »
College Urban Legends Debunked!
I’m a sucker for a good urban legend, and I more often than not fall victim to them. I still check the backseat of my car ever time I get in to make sure there are no escaped convicts hiding in it, waiting to kill me. A little dramatic, maybe, but who doesn’t like a good, creepy story that seems so real it couldn’t possibly be a work of fiction?
The list of urban legends unique to college is miles long. College students are believable characters in these tales, many of which don’t seem so far - off from your average Friday night frat party antics. There are three legends in particular that are incredibly pervasive, withstanding the test of time. But are they true or false? Let’s see…
1. At some colleges, sororities aren’t allowed houses because of “brothel laws.”
This legend has been making its rounds on the internet since 1995 and may have been concocted way back in 1960. Unfortunately, it’s false. While some cities have zoning ordinations concerning how many people can lawfully occupy a single building, there are no “brothel laws.” Many campuses still cite this legend as fact to explain why they don’t have sorority houses.
