Katy’s Korner: Holiday gifts don’t have to come with stress or strings

Katy’s Korner: You don’t have to lose your religion

Religion on this campus isn’t a clear-cut thing.

A fantasy world where frat formals aren’t scary

‘Tis the season, baby. The time of year when some fraternities have out-of-town formals in places like Chicago and Nashville, Tenn., and non-fraternity members are generally asked to come with. It’s a weekend of sight-seeing, drinking, dancing and fun times, or so I’ve been told.

Wake me up when September ends

If you look at me and say, “I get 10 hours of sleep every night,” rest assured you’ll find me following you around because you’re my next case study.

You look tired too, you conniving snake
