My convenient laptop job
Posted on 03. Mar, 2010 by Stephanie Osmanski.
In recently noticing a significant depletion in my financial situation, my first response was to whine to my parents. As I begged them to deposit another couple hundred dollars into my lowly bank account, all the while proclaiming the difficulties of money management as a college student, I wondered how much more fulfilling I would feel if I could earn the money myself.

The skinny on QU girls
Posted on 24. Feb, 2010 by Lindsay Roberts.
There are plenty of stereotypes for Quinnipiac girls. We all own a BlackBerry, the standard brown UGG boots and a North Face. Our lives would be incomplete without Toad’s. Describe us as bitchy, slutty or cliquey, and I could come up with plenty of arguments to shoot you down. However, I have found one descriptive word that fits a large proportion of Quinnipiac girls: skinny.

Posted on 24. Feb, 2010 by Julia Bucchanieri.
Spring break is only two weeks away and we all know what that means…crash dieting. Oh yes, the Recreation Center is buzzing with students antsy for the week of sun, sand and alcohol. I hate to break it to you though: the two-week diet does not work, especially if you’re still drinking at the level most Quinnipiac students do on the weekend.

Campus security at Quinnipiac University is doing exactly its job as well. But if a professor were to bring a firearm on campus in their briefcase, just about nothing could be done to stop it.

Not your average news
Posted on 17. Feb, 2010 by Lindsay Roberts.
The news can be tough to watch when the main characters are liars, murderers and crazies. However, there are heroes in everyday stories. Being a hero does not have to be a profession. These stories prove that a little bravery exists in all of us. So step aside losers, let’s hear it for the heroes.

Former skinhead is ‘living proof’
Posted on 17. Feb, 2010 by Christine Burroni.
I left Alumni Hall Monday night in awe of what I had just heard. Out of complete curiosity, I had attended the Student Programming Board’s event, “Confessions of a Recovering Skinhead,” and not knowing what a “skinhead” was, I wasn’t sure what to expect going in. Walking into the room at 7 p.m., many seats were taken, but I managed to find a seat right in the middle.

Diversity is ‘a process’
Posted on 12. Feb, 2010 by Phil Nobile.
During the opening words of Eugene Robinson’s lecture to a crowded Alumni Hall last Wednesday, the Pulitzer Prize winner said, “Anyone who doesn’t believe we have progressed ought to be here now.” And if you look around at our world today, you can’t help but agree with that statement.
