Perspectives

We are coming up on the end of the semester, kiddies. How hard have you worked? I have worked just as hard as the next person, and, quite frankly, I cannot wait for grades to roll around. It is a nice pat on the back and I am always looking to feed my ego.

Like my fellow point counter-pointer Ryan, I do feel that students should receive the grades that they earn. However, if almost everyone one, or close to the majority, in the class is receiving an A, then there is a problem. According to my professors, the grades of the students in a class are supposed to represent a bell curve.

Continue to grow with SEM 300 The essentials of life cannot be learned in a classroom. Book smarts do not mean much in many real-life situations, it is up to experience and education learned outside of the classroom that prepares people for life. Cabrini, realizing that fact, devised the SEM 300 course.

I'm all grown up now and about to be a college graduate. Uh oh! Am I the only one panicking? This better not mean I'm supposed to be an adult now. My parents are adults. Our professors are adults. People who know things are adults. I don't know anything about anything.

HIS SIDE: Hollywood makes me sick. Every year, for 74 years, the "elite" actors and actresses, producers and directors ("stars") of Hollywood get together to pat themselves on the back. In reality, these groups of insecure, overpaid nimrods need such an occasion to reassure themselves that what they are doing is actually worthwhile.

He is single, successful and living in a beachfront Malibu mansion with various beautiful women who are "candidates" for his heart. After a couple of weeks he's going to pop the big question to one of the women and they just might live happily-ever-after. I want to know who in the world buys into this junk! Why is there such a category as reality TV? "The Bachelor" is what I am referring to, which is the newest show to this bunch of crap television.

"Alright, now I'm going to push. All I want you to do is slowly accelerate on the gas. Don't floor it!" I said this to my girlfriend, Kelly, as I rolled up my sleeves to push my ton-something Buick. Of course her Dodge Neon is no match for my car, and she poorly misjudged its power.

For each of the ten years the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference has been in existence, a men's basketball champion has been crowned. In 1999, Gwynedd-Mercy felt the thrill of cutting down the nets. It was Alvernia in 2000 that ran down the court jumping in all their glory after being crowned the best team in the PAC.

Calling out to all my fellow car owners! I want to warn you about the next time you take your good ol' car to the shop to get that dreaded inspection. Beware of few mechanics you may run into that want to rid you of every hard earned penny. Over spring break I decided to finally break down and take my car to the shop because the squealing noise my breaks were making was causing me quite a few stares and I was afraid I might get pulled over for disturbing the peace.

Hey mambo, mambo Italiano. After the passing of an "Irish" holiday we felt the need to take a little of the spot light, even though St Patrick was born in Italy. So we thought we would take a minute to tell you why it is so good to be Italian. Olive complexion allows us to stay tan in the winter and golden in the summer compared to pasty in the winter and burnt to a freckled crisp ending in a nasty peel in the summer.
