Inebriation & Gluttony: Caffeine Highs!
With the last week of classes and finals week approaching, I figured this was an appropriate post. Personally, I have all my papers and projects due next week and am making caffeine my new lover until this mess is done with. Then I can shrivel up and die with withdrawal as I welcome summer break...
Rambo’s College Survival Guide: A bitter, not-so-celebratory 21st birthday
I am turning 21 in a week. Does this really mean I have to go out with my overly obnoxious friends and drink until my white vans look like they were customized with a vomit color and smell? I should be excited that I can LEGALLY drink every time I watch the Dolphins lose a...
Inebriation and Gluttony: Making Masterpieces out of Ramen
Ramen: the college student’s staple, low-budget food.

It’s a Friday night, and the only thing you want to do is forget about that C minus on your last chemistry test. You don’t achieve this by studying upcoming chapters, you do this by having a crazy night with all the other kids who flunked a test that week. Just like a romantic evening,...
Rambo’s College Survival Guide: Life after Netflix
Half way through Season 4 of Lost, I take a look around. I am in complete darkness, and I smell like I had been on the island for two months. The room was scattered with old Little Caesars’ boxes and decaying Taco Bell burritos. I couldn’t tell if my body had morphed into the bean...
How to look ‘ultra’ trendy at UMF ‘13

This year, the festival is celebrating its 15th anniversary and lasts six days rather than its typical three....
Electronic dance music guide
For two weekends, Ultra Music Festival attendees rage away for hours on end to electronic dance music (EDM).

From changes in bass lines to the addition of vocals, each artist has their own sound that...
Inebriation and Gluttony: Get to know your beer
In light of our recent booze-filled spring breaks, I thought it would be cool to talk a little bit about beer, for all you beer n00bs out there. For those who think beers on tap or in a bottle all taste the same, think again! Although they are all related, the addition or subtraction of...
