Over the past two years that I have been a student here at Wayne State, I’ve noticed a very sad, but true trend among my peers. It seems like we, as a whole, are more interested in what is fun and enjoyable than what is beneficial to us, as far as our future careers are concerned.

Recently, I have become aware of the increasing number of robberies and muggings on Wayne State’s campus. It all started just a few weeks ago when I checked my WSU e-mail from the Campus Watch newsletter and read a special crime alert on Sept. 4.

College isn’t hard — it’s finding the time for college that’s hard
Life is a huge juggle of priorities. Besides the biggest priority of keeping up with your college classes, you still have to find time to study for those classes, go to the job that you have to go to almost every day, participate in extracurricular activities you’re involved in, have a social life on the side, and most importantly, yet somehow always forgotten, you need time to sleep.

In an effort to gain undecided voters, John McCain attacked Barack Obama’s character and campaign positions on taxes, abortion and education, hoping to make a political comeback. The last debate was 90 minutes of intense character assassination, instead of dealing with real issues like our economy and strengthening the confidence of the American public.

A greasy burger wrapped in greasy paper is cheap, quick and all kinds of delicious. The Student Center is, let's not kid ourselves, not a student center in the true sense of the phrase, but rather a glorified food court.
