Diary of a (happy) Census worker

·

Uncle Sam is a fantastic employer. This summer I made more than minimum wage chasing down people who didn’t return their census questionnaires. My official job title was “enumerator,” but I’d say it would be more accurately described as “door knocker/verbal punching bag.” I only worked for the Census Bureau for about four weeks, but in this short time I learned some interesting lessons.

Staff Editorial: Can heartthrobs sell hygeine?

Quran controversy revisited

·

Over the past week, I’ve heard a lot of opinions about the Quran burning controversy, but somehow I don’t think I’ve heard much of what seems to me to be the most obvious reaction: people are actually killing over this?   That’s a sad statement about people.

Paying your dues

·

The phrase, “I’m just paying my dues,” is one of the most frequently evoked on a college campus. The students half-asleep utter it to their friends when they wake up hung-over after a night of partying to attend lecture. Professors utter it to one another when they look at budget cuts and realize their salary is half of their colleague’s.

Move over NYC, make room for Chicago

·

Late one night, as I was browsing the clothes on Forever21.com instead of studying, I spotted a t-shirt that said, “I Heart Tokyo, Paris, NYC, LA.” Uh, what about Chicago?
