Okay, I'm going to share a story I know many of you can relate to. Tuesday was one of those days, one of those very, very long days that never seem to end. I spent 14 hours away from my…
Aliens sucking the creativity out of your soul?
Lack of spontaneity, productivity and creativity in the third week of the semester. That’s right folks, I'm practically a piece of old play-dough left on the table by some kid who has ‘peaced out’ for more fun during recess. Does…

Which describes you better? New Years Resolved or a Half-Hearted Hector!? (Comic thanks to http://www.modernanalyst.com/) What up fellow students? Welcome back to the grind! I hope you’ve slept well, celebrated much and enjoyed the holidays. It’s hard to believe 2011…
