“How much responsibility do colleges have for deterring peer-to-peer piracy on campus? Enough to jeopardize the financial aid assistance of all students if a bill introduced to the U.S. House of Representatives gets passed. The College Opportunity and Affordability Act of 2007 would require colleges to not only deter piracy on campus but also to [...]

A three day weekend is very rare in the school system. They occurs twice in the fall semester, and once in the spring semester. I am based on routine and as much as I love having a day off from school, however the extra day throws me off. I like to take [...]

If you sit in on any college class during the first week, you are bound to hear this question asked at least once.
“Is this class graded on a curve?”
Some professors will give a simple answer, or in some cases the question will start off an hour long lecture.  Most of my college professors do not [...]

Today was the third of four tests in my Organic Chemistry class. I have to say that I have never studied more for a class in my life. I spent at least three hours a day at the library studying for it, as well as 8 hours the night before, in a study [...]

This is one of those weeks that I wish I could be Adam Sandler in Click, and just fast forward to Friday at 1:30pm.  Besides two tests on Friday, I was assigned a paper today.  This paper is where my dilemma begins.  Normally, when a paper is assigned a teacher will assign four or five [...]

Studying is a way of life for me, and for most college students. Usually when I study, I am on my couch or at my desk with my textbook on my coffee table. Usually the TV is on, or someone is playing xbox/ps2/N64. However, tonight I decided to try out a new [...]

“Most English-speaking people, for instance, will admit that cellar door is ‘beautiful’, especially if dissociated from its sense (and its spelling). More beautiful than, say, sky, and far more beautiful than beautiful. Well then, in Welsh for me cellar doors are extraordinarily frequent.” ~J.R.R. Tolkien On the appearance and sounds of words
This is [...]

“(CNN) — The Nobel prize-winning biologist who caused a furor with comments about the intelligence of black people resigned Thursday from his longtime post at a renowned research lab….
Watson was quoted as saying he was “inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa” because “all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence [...]

I’ve been trying to study all day long, and while browsing the web for some Organic Chemistry tutorials on synthesis reactions, I came across this image. It pretty much sums up my life right now. Chances are, it will not make any sense, but that is okay, because I can barely make sense [...]
