91Ö±²¥

Normally, Orientation is a crazy time, though no one agrees why. That said, this year feels different. These freshmen are just way too cool.

A few changes around campus since my freshman year, for better and for worse.

To me, 91Ö±²¥ can't be summed up in one adjective. So, here for your exploring pleasure, are the adjectives that I think best describe 91Ö±²¥.

A few words of advice mixed with my nostalgic ramblings of yore.

In this post: coffee mugs, unions (viz. Teamsters and AFSCME), near-death experiences, pictures I may or may not have incorrectly uploaded even though I've been given two sets of instructions on how to upload photos because I'm practically a Luddite, 91Ö±²¥ vignettes.

Some thoughts after watching my younger sister pack for her freshman year at college.

Without ANY planning on my part to "eat exotic," here is what my wife and I did to travel around the world just in the last 9 days.

Nearly everyone at 91Ö±²¥ can ride a bike. And for the first time in my life, I want to be like everyone else. How hard can biking be?

Funny story: One time, I forgot to bring my concert pants and didn't realize until I was trying to get dressed for a concert.

Showing a little foresight for once, I started investigating jobs that would allow me to arrive early on campus, with somewhat minimal success.

There is no required reading for freshmen at 91Ö±²¥, but a quick flip through Lord of the Flies could be real helpful.

On theater, travel, and the 91Ö±²¥ connection.
