How real is reality TV?

By Shannon King | April 10, 2003
Congratulations you've won immunity! Well, not quite. The only way you're going to get immunity in the near future from reality tv is to turn off the tube.

By Shannon King | January 30, 2003
It's amazing how most of us spend our entire youth trying to grow up, but once we get there we want to turn around and go back. When you're a child you really have nothing to worry about other than skinned knees and trying to milk a couple of more hours of playtime out of your parents.

Slightly elevated lead levels in the water last semester made it not uncommon to see signs posted in the Mansion that reminded everyone of a popular song by the Dave Matthew's Band.

Keep in touch with friends

By Shannon King | April 25, 2002
It's really a shame that people don't keep in touch. Every stage of your life you have a certain group of friends who you would call your best friends. When you were little you even took the time to write their names in a circle on your notebook that said, "BFF" (Best Friends Forever.

Philadelphia is a city that prides itself on having the wildest, craziest and most supportive fans around.
