I'm not going to lie, I have a lot of clothes. So much, in fact, that the studio apartment I live in that is made for two people has two closets and two dressers full of my clothes. But even with my plentiful wardrobe, I never feel like I have enough of certain items. I'm all about re-wearing jeans because they seem to be more comfortable that second time around, but there are certain things you can't pull out of the laundry basket and throw back on without feeling at least a little bit grimey.
So in the past few months I've been thinking and there are a few things I really wish I had an extensive collection of, and I like to think of these things as essentials. Read on for some items that you shouldn't feel bad for overloading on.
On Wednesday, Radio Free Penn State interviewed Professor José Texidor. If you haven’t heard, Texidor has quite a controversy surrounding him, which was the subject of his interview.
The whole thing started in July 2007 when Texidor received a letter from John McCarthy, head of the department of sociology and crime, law and justice questioning the difficulty of two of Texidor’s classes (CJ 100 and CJ 451).

Well ladies, it's that time again to show off your sexiness. M.O.O.D. Magazine is looking for a dead sexy model like you for the front cover of its next issue.
So give it a whirl! Just e-mail Senior Fashion Market Editor Mairys Joaquin - [email protected] - with your photo (I heard the provocative ones make the top of the pile) and your resume (as goes with the intelligent ones) no later than 5 p.m. on March 19.
Mairys Joaquin was also the President of the Panhellenic Council (PHC) at Penn State, so that's pretty neat.
Last night Flogging Molly, with help from opener Scythian, showed Penn State the true meaning of St. Patrick's Day: being Irish, drunk, and pissed-off.
Things got off to a late start, after an overtime set-up, but Scythian quickly got the crowd dancing. Their set, while short, was solid, mixing celtic rock, creole, and an inventive medley of rap covers. The highlight may have been hearing Biz Markie's "Just a Friend" played on accordion. This was not the band's first show at Penn State, and I hope it's not their last. It'd be great to hear them play a longer set.
The show really got underway once Flogging Molly took the stage. Read on for more details and lots of pictures!
Bang! You're dead! We knew it as cops and robbers as kids, but since we're all adults now, let's upgrade to something a bit more interesting. The Penn State Urban Gaming Club will be starting up its Humans vs. Zombies game, which it does every semester, on March 22 (If you don't remember, these were the ones running around early in the fall with Nerf guns and other assorted weapons).
Spring is supposedly coming, although I have yet to see any evidence of that. But Humans vs. Zombies promises to be a fun way to blow off steam once the risk of frostbite lessens somewhat.
Curious as to how HvZ works? Read on for all the details.
Whenever I watch any of the Indiana Jones movies, I can't help but think how cool it would be to live as this Harrison Ford character (excluding the last movie). I'd get to go on quests, have adventures, make discoveries. Apparently Jim L-G had the same idea and decided to set of on a journey of epic proportions. He made up his mind to find the oldest printed ampersand. At Penn State.
