During spring break, my friends went down on Sunday to the Village P.O.D. for dinner. The schedule clearly stated that the hours that day would be 4 p.m. until midnight. But 5 p.m. came and went and the doors were locked and the lights off. Brandeis brags about its international student body. On my floor […]
Well, it seems as if the general election has already begun. It was not like the outcome was really much of a surprise since former Governor Mitt Romney’s primary competition included your wacky conspiratorial Uncle Ron, Newt the two-time divorcee and Rick Santorum, who lost his last election in his home state by 18 points.

Released last Friday after a three-year delay, “The Cabin in the Woods” opened to an amazingly positive response. Directed and written by Drew Goddard along with Joss Whedon, “The Cabin in the Woods” is simultaneously hilarious and horrifying. The combination of horror and comedy has been explored many a time in films such as the […]
After losing three straight games last week, the Judges returned to their winning ways during the weekend, sweeping Bowdoin in a doubleheader Sunday with scores of 7-3 and 4-3. The Judges then split a doubleheader Tuesday versus Babson, winning the first game 7-4 while dropping the second 4-3. The Judges have now won 13 of […]
The time to dream has come and the place to do it is Huatulco, Mexico. Now that summer is around the corner, it’s becoming increasingly more difficult to concentrate on school work. Some might even go as far as to say that it’s impossible not to daydream about the possibility of a little free time, […]
