If you were one of the may students who were NOT at the March Against Raising Tuition yesterday, you're not alone. With roughly 100 participants, the rally could be seen as a total flop. But how? What went wrong? Aren't we all angry about the out of control debt the administration is forcing upon students? I'm sure no one wants to pay even more to attend Penn State, but why then was a march to address the issue poorly received? The answer is clear. We just really don't care.
46 hours and $9.56 million later, Penn State is unmistakably changed by THON. However, some are so dumbfounded that they no longer have anything else to talk about. Words literally escape these desperate THONers, they are at a loss for words. Join Marcus and I as we try to get to the bottom of this puzzling dilemma.
The University of California, Los Angeles held its 9th annual dance marathon over the weekend. Student groups danced for a whopping 26 hours straight to raise money for pediatric AIDS victims. Something seems a little fishy. It's almost like I've heard of this idea before. Is this just a THON copy cat? Should we Twitter-bitch about it being a "total rip-off" of Penn State's impressive philanthropy? Or should we jump down from our high horse and see this as an indicator of THON's overwhelming success? Let this be a lesson in bragging etiquette.
After almost two days of dancing, getting someone to "shake ya groove thing" isn't an easy task. But for local cover band, Go Go Gadjet, it appeared to be second nature. Playing crowd favorites like Usher and Taio Cruz, THON 2011 was alive with some impressive sing-alongs. I didn't know Penn State had that kind of pipes!
After 2 years of being a vegetarian, I decided to visit the only 100% vegan restaurant in State College. Maybe it was the hippie aura or the work of mystical gnomes, but The Enchanted Kitchen still remains a mystery at large. Check out the tale of one man's epic quest to sample Happy Valley's spin on organic raw foods.
The brain child of a group of Penn State seniors, The Recipedia is a food and beverage mecca created by the student for the student. A hub for college-friendly recipes and State College bar specials, The Recipedia is not only an economical cookbook but also your sober friend trying to save you a buck. There is even a dining column section on the website. What's better than booze and food all in one place?
