Choosing a Major

Some people prefer to take a test that evaluates your personality and interests. Lots of colleges have access to these various tests, and if you were to talk to a counselor they could hook you up with a few. A great place to find out how to contact a guidance counselor is your school’s Admissions office. Most legitimate websites that offer valid Major/Career tests charge for them, but lots of educational institutions can hook you up with one of these tests for free.

Box Office Blitz: Fantastic Mr. Fox

Let me start by saying this movie isn’t what you expect.

I expected an enjoyable kids film that may have one or two parts that were actually funny and that actually made me laugh audibly. I was super wrong. It has lots of funny parts.

Box Office Blitz: Toy Story 3

So most of us were skeptical. We heard Toy Story 3 and thought, “WTF man, they’re gonna ruin it! Just go ahead and trample over my childhood memories, Disney.” Well, I decided to go see it anyway, just in case it was good.

Box Office Blitz: Animation Edition

Yes I’m aware this is like the 4th movie review in a row. We’ll work on that.
So I’m here to talk to you today about two great animated movies that I saw recently. They’ve been out of theaters for awhile but I missed both of their theater runs and have been meaning to check them [...]

Cool Approach to New Years

So it’s not too late to decide on your approach for the new year.
There’s a pretty good blog article I just read that could be helpful for anyone that wants to set some goals and stick to them and is using New Years as a good excuse to have some motivation.
In college, it’s good to [...]

Box Office Blitz: Avatar

OK, we’ve got an alien planet with big blue people, mind-controlled clones, and lots of political undertones. Oh, and of course it’s all 3-D.
Now I am personally a big fan of nerdy sci-fi alien stuff. So of course I was interested. More normal people my age were a bit confused about the whole premise of [...]

Box Office Blitz: Sherlock Holmes

So this review may be a bit biased. I loved reading Sherlock Holmes growing up, so I was super excited when I heard they were making a movie (and that Iron Man was in it). But I’ll try to be objective.

The Simplest Drinking Game Ever

So maybe you’re feeling a bit lazy and just want to start drinking without setting up a complicated game and explaining rules.
Try this:
1. Get a quarter and find a flat surface like a coffee table or a desk.
2. Half the people call heads and the other half gets tails (don’t recall after every turn, just [...]

Box Office Blitz: The Blind Side

OK, to be honest I went into this movie with pretty low expectations. First of all, it’s a sports movie. There have been a handful of good football movies made, and quite a few really terrible football movies made. Sports movies in general tend to suffer from bad dialogue or terrible plot development, so I [...]

Online Quizzes

…are the bane of my existence.
We’ve all been there. You wake up and start thinking about all the things you need to take with you to class that day. Let’s see, pen… paper… notebook… textbook? Nah. Any homework due? No, we just had to take that online quiz by 10:00 yesterd…OH F#@%!!!

Box Office Blitz: The fastest movie reviews around

Couples Retreat
It’s a romantic comedy by Vince Vaughn (he also stars in the movie). It’s also got a few other funny dudes and some foxy ladies (Malin Akerman from Watchmen and Kristen Bell from Forgetting Sarah Marshall). Basically, four couples have mild to severe marital issues and decide to go on a vacation together to [...]

Restaurant Review: Stromboli’s

One of the best things about college towns are the local restaurants. The kind of place that isn’t interested in becoming a big corporate chain, but instead is happy just to serve incredible food at decent prices to some poor college kids. So this post kicks off the local restaurant reviews for Starkville, and we’re [...]

Postgame

Well, as everyone knows, we didn’t manage to pull the huge upset over Florida on Saturday. Amid interceptions, controversial calls, and Tebow bandwagon fans there were several bright shining moments of hope for MSU. We had an amazing pick-6 at the end of the half that stunned the Florida faithful, and our defense was fantastic [...]

Gametime

Alright, it’s Florida – MSU this week, and it’s happening right here in Starkville. The buzz has been pretty big all week, and tickets are sold out. Dan Mullen facing off against Urban Meyer, it doesn’t get much more heated than that. The last time Florida was here, they were ranked #4 and lost to [...]

Ramen Freakin’ Noodles (part 2)

So after Jared put out the Ramen article, we asked our Twitter friend ro_tel to find out if there was any way to mix Ramen noodles with their famous Rotel tomatoes for a meal. They gave us a link to a recipe that seems pretty easy, especially if you have access to an oven. The [...]
