Thumbs up to...
...Flowers?! It was a little more than a month ago that we thought we’d never see the ground, ever ever again. We were up trudging through snow and ice and bundling up in hats, scarves and sweaters. But by some sort of miracle, the grass on the quad has made an epic comeback. After a long winter, we’re starting to see flowers blooming. And as cheesy as that sounds, we are pretty psyched about it. ...The Tiger: Master once more? Sure, his personal life might not be the pinnacle of heroism, but when Tiger Woods hits the golf course in April, he’ll be back to doing what he does best. No, not infidelity. Golf. Remember that? Despite the womanizing and despicable behavior, Woods belongs on the green — not on the front page of the National Enquirer. ...Beyoncé, in that crazy Lady Gaga video. Though the “Telephone” music video has brought even more attention to the extent of Lady Gaga’s eccentricities, the generally (slightly) more demure Beyoncé more than delivers on her end of the duet. While Gaga’s sunglasses made of cigarettes and Diet Coke curlers are the topic of much fashion conversation, “Honeybee” nearly steals the show with her hourglass figure in a skin-tight, yellow leather dress as she poisons Tyrese Gibson’s food, proving more than just her looks are killer.
Thumbs down to... ...The Eagles not flying to the NCAA tournament. This university is tragically deprived of dancing. First, no Founders’ Day Ball. Now this?! The men’s basketball team will not be gracing anyone’s brackets for the “Big Dance.” We’ll miss those lovely “We’re dancing!” signs strewn across the campus and the twinge of school spirit that we had way back when. ...Daylight Savings Time. An Eagle Ranter said it best: Thanks a lot, Ben Franklin. This agrarian calendar might work for some people, but we’re college students. We’re tired, and we need that hour. We want that hour back. Student Government, we’re calling for a resolution here. ...Applying for summer internships and jobs. Some really original person once said that looking for a job is a full-time job. They’re right. And it’s not easy these days to try to find some lucrative source of employment — either for the summer or the rest of our lives. Between our busy schedules and excessive commitments, when are we supposed to make the quest for these nonexistent jobs?
