Hidden away in the deep, dark depths of Griffiths lies an art lover’s paradise. The creations of Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Alexander Calder, Auguste Rodin, and Milton Avery highlight St. Lawrence University’s permanent art collection.  

As the only male member of the Hill News staff who has, in fact, kissed a girl (my cousin, when I was nine), the responsibility for writing this column has fallen to me. Drawn from my intense love of shopping and general expertise buying gifts, here’s my list:

10. A bunny—if unwanted, makes a tasty delicacy.
9. Dinner at a Dana date table. So romantic, you’ll practically poop yourself. Depending on what you eat, that may also happen later.
8. A thirty rack of Bud diesel—if she doesn’t want it, you can keep it for yourself. Win-win.

Guys are notoriously bad gift-givers, so it shouldn't be too hard to out-gift them this year. Keep in mind though, if it's too good, it'll bruise his ego and that will be worse than giving him a bad gift. Here's the full range - from culturally refined to the simplest of offerings.

1.    Indoor Skydiving/ Bungee Jumping- Here's something that none of his buddies will be getting from their girls. If he's the adventurous type then sign him up for a once in a lifetime experience.

I went to this place called the library the other day and well…it wasn’t that great. I always see people going in and out of that stupid revolving door and so I was like that must be a dope place to chill.

When the play starts, things are already pretty messed up. Seems that Hamlet's daddy bit the dust not too long ago, and guess who got the crown? Not Hamlet, but his uncle, Claudius. That's right. He married his sister-in-law. Needless to say, young Hamlet is not exactly in the best of spirits. All he really wants to do is go back to college and get as far away as possible from his shaky home life, but things don't quite work out in his favor.

Today I was in...sociology clas which might also have been psychology class, but since I take so many astronomy classes I am not really sure which one it was, but in the class my professor started talking a lot about identity. We talked about some crazy things like how and why we dress certain ways, what majors we have, what movies we choose to watch, and how no one really thinks anymore, but rather conforms to the thing that they think best fits their identity.

Now, I think we're all aware of the kinds of movies that promote the values of perseverance.  They're usually about football, and they usually suck.  But if you keep an open mind (or just pay attention when you watch movies), you'll find that perseverance is a pretty common theme.  

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)

High School Musical 3: Senior Year had its theatrical release on October 24th, 2008; it is the last installment of the Disney High School Musical series. Now, once a person reaches the age of eighteen they fall into one of three categories in regards to how they feel about High School Musical.

When I was a freshman I was not very good at astronomy and I am embarrased to say, I needed an astro tutor. I e-mailed the astro tutor, her name was Trish, and told her I just couldn’t wrap my noggin around the concepts of a dwarf star and that I needed assistance. She wrote me a very cool and hip e-mail back and said she could meet with me, but first, I had to sign up in the tutors office so she could get paid and also that I had to buy her chicken fingers from the pub and bring them up to the third floor of the student center where she would tutor me.
