The images of cartel violence are hard to watch, but provide this action- thriller with the honesty and brains most others lack. 7.)

Forgive me for trying to limit my word count so as to avoid an inevitable spiral into a self-deprecating stream of consciousness that ends up making me sound like a sarcastic prick who vents his frustrations through a very viable and very respectable student newspaper. Honestly, I’m shocked they’re letting me write this column for another semester. (How’s that for a proper introduction?)

I was (predictably) campuses, especially if you’re like running late for work on the first day of classes me and habitually throw your this semester.

I wish to find a parking spot in Lot C after 9:30 a.m. the desks had an elevated cubby of (I’ve griped about this before). I made my own sorts, because before I realize what parking spot and I decided to take the inevitable I’ve done, I’ve placed my backpack parking ticket rather than be late for my first into a gigantic puddle of slush, that day of work. When I came out later to find the nice new book I bought is now blue and white slip of paper under my wipers, I totally ruined, and now I’m going to braced myself for the hefty fine only to find that fail the class because I can’t do the it was a $0 warning notice. Well played, Campus assigned reading. Thanks winter! Security. Well played.

If you enjoy these new pagers that detect which table you’re sitting at so things, well…I hope we never become friends. But they can bring the food right to you. But the prices are for the rest of us, the only way this horrendous, just too high. Thanks for the $50 gift card to Panera hideous, and harrowing weather has any merit is if Bread, mom! I got a sandwich and some lemonade and classes are cancelled. Keep the faith students. had to pay the difference.

3 Cheers: Gas Prices Imagine my surprise when I returned home after traveling for majority of the winter break 3 Jeers: Slush to discover the price of gas to be I can barely tolerate the snow and freezing under two dollars. I can’t remember temperatures. It’d be a completely different story if it the last time pumping gas didn’t snowed all the time like it does in Fairytale Snow Globe feel like I was taking out a second Land, with nice puffy snowflakes that coat the ground mortgage on a home.
