A penis at Eastern Michigan University’s Putnam Hall has been causing quite a stir lately. A very, very large penis.
It appeared as if the Eastern Michigan University’s Student Center was welcoming an influx of new female Muslim students Tuesday night, each with their own brightly colored headscarf, or hijab.
If you’ve ever sipped a sweet cup of iced tea and thought to yourself, “Gee, if only there were some sort of strange gummy candies in here,” rest assured that you’re not the first. In fact, the tea shops of Taiwan beat you to it by nearly 30 years, when someone decided that the only thing better than tea was tea with chewy balls in it.
Crafting a song with both a catchy melody and meaning involves a great deal of skill. While many of the artists currently topping the charts seem to specialize in pumping out hit after soulless hit, Florida-based band Go Radio has mastered the art of creating music that is as meaningful as it is singable.
“I give thanks for my family with three children and three grandchildren and for being part of the Eastern family of students, faculty, staff and alumni. Go green!”
So Eastern Michigan University’s midterms are over, most of us have our schedules for next semester set, and…now what? With the weather growing more and more unpleasant by the day and projects piling up, it’s easy to fall into a mid-semester slump.
Registration for the winter semester is now well under way, and like most students here at Eastern Michigan University, you have probably been scrambling to snatch up coveted spots in class rosters. But if you’re among the students who take one look at the extensive list of available courses and feel like crying, registration can feel overwhelming.
This November, things are gonna get hairy.
The flavor of fall is typified by warm spices and the long-awaited return of the pumpkin. These timeless tastes compliment coffee very well, so it’s no surprise many coffee shops expand their menu during this season to cater to these autumn cravings. One such chain is Starbucks, not unlike the one in the Eastern Michigan University Student Center you probably walk by daily.
If you’re anything like me you let important events sneak up on you. When that important event happens to be Halloween, you may find yourself scrambling to assemble a costume that can be considered at least kind of witty and creative the morning of that spooktacular day. If this has happened to you in the past, fear not. Here are a few last-minute ideas that will insure that you will not be going to that party as “yourself.”
Nobleman Bassanio is in a bit of a pickle. While seeking to woo the beautiful heiress Portia, he finds himself short of the funds necessary to have a shot at love with the lady. His friend Antonio may be able to secure a loan for him through the moneylender Shylock, a Jewish man, but Shylock doesn’t exactly maintain the highest opinion of the notably anti-Semitic Antonio. So in the event of the debt being unpaid, Shylock demands a pound of Antonio’s flesh.
Like it or not, America’s coffee culture is here to stay. Some naysayers blame coffee and its caffeinated cousins like tea for many of our generation’s woes, such as anxiety and obesity, but it’s important to look at both sides of the cup, if you will.
Sometimes you just don’t want to venture into a coffee shop to get your caffeine fix.
Cafe Racer is not your stereotypical coffeehouse.
No man (or woman) is an island, and that holds even more truth when it comes to the college years. You may never feel as vivacious or willing to experience all life has to offer, but it can be difficult to make memories without a couple comrades by your side. And at the rate your life is likely changing, friend-turnover is common and people who have been closely connected for years may drift apart.
Many of us have scarfed down plenty of Italian and Greek food and drink in our lifetimes, but tucked away on the other side of the Mediterranean, small but culturally rich Lebanon brings a wealth of unique flavors just waiting to be experienced.
After a year spent living on campus here at Eastern Michigan University, I am convinced that Ypsilanti has a sort of “quirky quota” it is obligated to fulfill. If the peculiarly shaped water tower landmark isn’t proof enough, just stroll into one of the many businesses lining the downtown or Depot Town area. You’ll be sure to find a surprisingly chill, typically artsy and nearly always eccentric vibe.
Few consumable substances have had as much of an impact on human culture as caffeine. Caffeine is regarded as the nation’s most popular drug, with 90 percent of the American population consuming some form of it daily. It has spawned an entire coffee shop culture, especially among college students looking for a calm spot to sit back, study and sip a cup of joe.
So here you are at the starting line, poised to run head-first into the crazy, exciting world known as college life. Chances are, you’ll be dragging an assortment of school supplies, boxes of ramen (bought in bulk) and possibly a mini-fridge. So with all of that junk crowding up the cinderblock prison known to outsiders as your dorm room, you are not going to have a significant amount of room to stow your clothing collection.
