You’re Doing It Wrong: The Federal Budget, Dennis Rodman and the Harlem Shake [CECS]
I’m counting down the weeks to Spring Break, which means one of two things: either it’s midterms, or I have senioritis. Wait, I think it’s both? Here are the week’s top stories.
Ooh-La-La! Even Sports Are Impacted by the Love Hormone [Body Blog]
All these big, tough, football playing boys (at least they seemed tough in high school) started swaying from side to side and singing along with the song. I kid you not. They were really into it. And it was a very tender moment. So much so that it was… awkward to watch. I really felt like I had walked in on a romantic moment.

Birthday Faves: My Life As….a Student Athlete
If you overhear someone talking about NCAA athletics, you probably automatically think of the football and basketball games you see on TV during March Madness and hear about on the news. You may think of swanky warm-ups, the Big 10 teams who win every year, and spoiled brats who don’t work very hard at anything. But that is not a very accurate representation of the NCAA.

There is more to the NCAA then those two big name sports.
I’ve Got a Fever, and the Only Prescription is More Athletes
I must admit, I did get swept up in this year’s World Cup. What’s so wrong about cheering for the U.S. as if I actually understand what’s going on? So what if I hesitated each time before saying “score!” because I wasn’t sure if it was the correct terminology in soccer.
4 Very Good Reasons To Watch The World Cup
Once every four years, an event comes along that is so globally significant, so life altering, that it brings old men to tears. No, I’m not talking about the presidential election or Olympic figure skating. Ladies and gentlemen, dust off your vuvuzelas (no, that’s not something you need the gyno to find) and get ready for the World Cup.
Quidditch: Coming to a Campus Near You
Clearly the fact that there have been six Harry Potter movies released, (two more in the making) seven books out in stores, and an upcoming theme park in Orlando, doesn’t quite express the extent of society’s obsession with the magic wizardly world. Because college Quidditch (yes, the broomstick-riding sport) is on the rise.

Recess Games That Rocked
At the risk of sounding like a creeper with a window-less van parked 100 yards from a playground, here are some of my favorite games from recess that I wish were appropriate for eighteen year-olds to play. Note: I like the games…not the kids.
G.W.W.E.: Jonathan “Relieve Me!” Rhys-Meyers
Let’s go waaay back (to 2002) to the release of Bend it Like Beckham, when JRM got his first big acting break. He starred as Joe, the Irish soccer (okay, football) coach who quickly fell for his culturally-conflicted student, Jess. I loved this movie for two reasons: first, because it showcased Keira Knightley during her awkward stage before she was really famous, and second, because JRM totally stole the show.
G.W.W.E.: Clive “Cut Me” Owen
We’re back with another weekly installment of G.W.W.E. (Guys We Wanna Eff), so let us take a moment to praise the infinitely talented and infinitely effable Clive Owen !
