To those interested in my qualifications: I have been Class President for the past five years. I have led numerous school functions and fundraisers such as t-shirt sales, prom committees, community service projects, etc. I could fill this statement with my experience to establish my credentials, but in a school where it seems almost every other person was Senior Class President it would hardly be impressive. Instead I will elaborate on how being VP of Internal Affairs of our Class Board goes beyond a title for me. There is no such thing as too much school spirit. I’ve been known to jump on tables while cheering about selling water bottles, and to start chants in quiet settings. College is truly about the experience. This is supposed to be the best four years of our lives. I just want to be a part of making it happen for you.

Howard Kunreuther | Dealing with large-scale risks
(09/09/11 5:29am)
Anniversaries are a time to remember and a time to reflect. The 10th anniversary of 9/11 provides all of us who experienced the event to use it as an opportunity to take stock of how we dealt with the terrorist attack and what we may want to do differently in the future when facing disasters that have a small chance of occurring but have severe consequences if they do.
Ditch The Gym For Gin And Tonics
(09/08/11 3:38pm)
Have you ever been torn between Pilates and piña coladas? Stuck in a mental war with weights and whiskey? Don't know whether you want down dog or Dogfish Head? Annoying alliteration aside (ha ha), ignoring the Ivy League guilt of productivity--both academically and physically--for the sake of happy hour can be difficult.

Siede Coleman | Society’s guilty role in the fall of celebrities
(08/04/11 6:50am)
Amy Jade Winehouse, dead at 27 years old. Nobody expected it, yet everyone saw the soulful singer’s demise coming. Her struggles were no secret — the tabloids made sure of that — documenting every misstep and creating headlines too good to for us to ignore on the newsstands Amy was a laughingstock; I remember when she was the butt of jokes on my favorite entertainment news programs. Yet, if her interviews can be any indication, Amy embraced her problems and became successful — she won 5 Grammys — from a song that firmly asserted her denial to save herself. Then, why is her death so sad? Is it a tinge of guilt that plagues us?

But, like that late night Taco Bell run to fill the void you didn't know was there, Local 44 is here to save the day.
Grace Wang | Froyo: a trend past its prime
(07/21/11 7:08am)
Is it just me, or has froyo gotten old? It’s lost its novelty as a special treat, as a summertime delicacy. There’s a froyo store on every corner now, and even ice cream strongholds such as Haagen Daaz have hopped onto the bandwagon. Dedicated froyo shops, while they tout themselves as having the best topping variety or the healthiest yogurt strain, really all follow the same cookie-cutter mold: once you’ve been to one, you’ve been to them all.
