It’s that time of the year again. You get to say goodbye to teachers, have last minute projects and papers galore, and cannot stop thinking about summer in only a few short days. The only thing blocking you from summer happens to be the most dreaded week of the school semester: FINALS WEEK.
This horrible week has come to consist of:
- Cramming for that final you forgot you had
- Leftover pizza or whatever food is left in your fridge
- Falling asleep in the middle of the day when you were trying to study for that one final you are the most worried about
- Using up the last of your meal points on anything and everything left in the campus cafeterias, even if its spent on weird healthy food
- Getting done with that final and never having to see that evil professor ever again!
- Packing things instead of studying
- FREEDOM AND SUMMER!!!
We hope everyone does well on finals! And for those of you already done with school…, well aren’t you just lucky. Now, it’s time for us to avoid studying for a few more days, take those tests where we pretend we learned something, and then get ready for the summer!

Random crazy people talking to you today? Your food is taking shapes of celebrities before they enter rehab? Ducks and penguins stalking you on your way to the store? The simple explanation for all of these things is that it’s “Odd Day!”
Today, 5-7-09, is one of the six days in the century where every digit in the date is an odd number. So sadly, it is related to math. Luckily, there’s no major division or addition required to figure this one out.
So when all those weird things happen to you and you can’t seem to understand why they are happening today, just remember that it’s odd day!
Here are some tips from http://oddday.net/ for the best ways to celebrate:
“It’s a great day to do your odds ‘n ends, give a friend a high-five, root for the odds-on-favorite, read the Wizard of Odds, watch the Odd Couple, say aaaahd in the doctor’s office, look for sea odders, find that missing odd sock, and beat the odds.”

We obviously approve of being naked and all that goes with it. No restricting, itchy clothes to bother us is always a plus. We figure, if we were born into the world naked, why not live naked?
It seems our train of thought has caught on elsewhere also. A Japanese TV star, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, has the same idea as us! After a long night of fun and booze in Tokyo, he ended his night with screaming, “What’s wrong with being naked?” His belief, which we highly agree with, has now become it’s own t-shirt.
We’re so glad and proud that our belief lives on in others around the world. And for that shirt, can you say hello Japanese Amazon.com?

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Today is pretty much the same as St. Patty’s Day – everyone pretends to be of Hispanic origin and drinks a lot of Tequila. Who would ever condone a day like that?
Cinco de Mayo also seems to act as the unofficial start of summer. No matter what age you are, this day always makes you think of sun, sand, and summer parties and fun. Which always gives us some hope during finals. Summer is only a few weeks away kids! Hang in there!
Now, time to dance some meringue, drink tequila, and ignore all types of schoolwork for one last night!
Adios mi amigos!

Rain, rain, go away! Come again NEVER!
Rainy Mondays are no one’s friend. After a perfect weekend of sun and fun, we dread waking up on Mondays. To make it worse, it happened to be raining today. It seems as if it has rained almost every Monday this semester, which is insane.
Rainy Mondays make us want to
And when you’re in school or working, these things are just not feasible. So, Rainy Mondays, stop making us lethargic! Some days we enjoy being productive and not depressed that there is no sun to make us smile on these rainy days.
The only bonus we see in this kind of day is the cuddling with that someone special. Who doesn’t love cuddling?
