Add some cream and crimson treats to your graduation party

·

I still have a full year of college ahead of me, but because I’ll be too busy this time next year to spend all day in the kitchen I decided to dedicate my last column of this year to Saturday’s graduates. Though the main event will be that walk across the stage, graduation parties are an important part of the day as well. Not only are they more fun, they’re more personalized and, best of all, involve food.

The soundtrack to the end

·

As a mere sophomore on this giant IU campus, my worries are few. Classes for next year are scheduled, plans for the summer are made, final exams are shaping up to be as ridiculous as always – but that’s to be expected. My final days of the semester are smooth sailing.

From neon to black: music in the ’80s, ’90s

·

If asked what his generation would be remembered for, 33-year-old Jason Nickey, co-owner of Landlocked Music, draws a blank when coming up with descriptive terms. He’s lived through the ’80s, graduated high school in 1994 and remembers when the shift between the glam of the ’80s and the grunge of the ’90s occurred. For him it happened when the music his classmates listened to suddenly changed.

Semesters of love

When I look back on these four years of college, I’ll remember eating lots of Mother Bear’s pizza, dancing in the kitchen to Justin Timberlake with my roommates and dedicating hours of my time and energy into IU Student Media.
