Thumbs Up
Absentee Craigsfest
Congrats to all those who ended up being far too busy to go to Craigsfest over the weekend. Not only was money saved ($30 to be precise), but certainly those special few do not need to worry about the drunken pictures being uploaded to Facebook as you read this sentence. And to those that did in fact have some shameful photos posted: don't worry; we're sure you'll be able to show your face again by the end of the semester.
Weather
With cool days and chilly nights, fall has finally rolled in and everyone can enjoy open windows and laying down on the quad. How can we possibly sit in a dark, stuffy classroom when the sun is calling out to us? Time to start taking classes outside, teachers, because that is where all of our minds are right now. Nothing is as refreshing as a cool breeze on a fall day.
All Hail Tina Fey, The Comic Genius
Who else except the fantastic Tina Fey could possibly capture the essence of Sarah Palin? From the nasaly, Fargo-esque voice, the frozen smile pasted on her face and the slighty over-glazed "Did I leave the oven on?" look in her eye, Tina Fey is making us laugh till it hurts as we see this trainwreck crash and burn. Suddenly, Palin is much more bareable to listen to...oh, wait, that was Tina again.
Thumbs Down
VP Nominee Fashion Faux-Pas
We know Hillary Clinton got a lot of flack for those infamous pants suits, which is why we feel like Sarah Palin feels compelled to run her whole skirt suit bit into the ground. Ok, we get it, you're an attractive woman who knows how to show her feminine side - now go put some damn pants on yourself and go kill a moose or something.
80s Shocker
Although vintage is an awesome look, there are a few fashion points that need to be forgottten. Never again do we want to see a combination of floral dress, leggings and side pony tail. Nor do we wish to see metallic windbreakers and tapered jeans. These looks have been all been dead for well over a decade for a reason. Stop wearing them. Now. No matter how hard you try to give them a little CPR, these looks will just not come back to life. Ever. (And thank God for that.)
Being Broke
Everyone is broke. (Insert genuine tear here.) Besides the economy being in a slump, it seems Loyola has hit its very own mini-depression as meal/Evergreen accounts fall to zero, cash is scarce and everyone is searching through couches for loose change to even have the money to go out. What happened to being able to eat regularly? Remember, ladies and gents, we are all suffering right now so share what food you can. Even if you have to split a piece of lettuce into fours.
