Sometimes I'll be waiting to pay for my purchases at a respectable location like CVS or, if I'm really unlucky, Duane Reade. I'll be thinking about how great it is that linoleum flooring is here to stay, or that we live in a wonderful age where one can purchase three to five different shades of black mascara.

Should you reward a disobedient child with candy? No - at least, you aren't a good parent if you do. So, should you reward a bum for his laziness with your spare change? No - at least, you aren't a good citizen if you do.
You may ask yourself, "What does this guy know about kids?" or, "Why does this guy not like homeless people?"
To begin with, I have always known there are a lot of homeless people in Philadelphia; you see them around 7- Eleven all the time.

At that moment I realized the nightmare was real. Despite all my efforts, the International & Off-Campus Programs office had left me virtually alone in England.

The Triangle reported May 9 that the Undergraduate Student Government Association presidential race was uncontested yet again. You may recall that the race was uncontested in 2004 and 2006 as well.
To an outsider, it would appear that either these presidential candidates are so strong that no one wants to oppose them, or that there is a genuine lack of interest in the USGA across the student body.
