So it looks like we're halfway through January. The weather's weird, as usual, so snow days are looking pretty sparse. That being said, here's the news of the hour.
1. Women writers on the world wide web
So everyone here is familiar with collegehumor.com, right? Right. So, start to familiarize yourself with its just-for-females counterpart. Everyone rolling their eyes at "feminism" and other "big idea" nouns like that, stop, because that's not what we're talking about here. We're just referring to the coolest new place on the internet superhighway that offers W&L ladies (and hey, men, if that's how you feel that day) the latest info and resources. Not to mention that it's founder is a W&L alum…

Shameless plug. Everyone go to the website, even if you're a dude and engage yourself. I mean, you're probably going to facebook anyway.
2. Greek Life: The good
While Nazo and Clark sit gagging about how I fratify my articles, I'll just point to the overwhelming statistics of our school…almost 90% of us are in some sort of Greek organization. Slam. Some may see it as a bad thing, some may see it as a good thing, but no matter how you look at it, the numbers don't lie.
3. ... And with it, the bad.
Oh, young freshmen boys. How you smiled when your little girl friends couldn't do kegstands with the older sorority ladies while you were off with cooler, older frat dudes. How you laughed when you punched holes in the walls of houses out in the country. How you thought you understood the dynamics of your relationships. How wrong. How very wrong.
4. The worst commercial out there
You thought the gaucho commercial was terrible. Well, we've got news for you - the Williamson Furniture Select (Crowning Touch Senior Moving) commercial now dominates as the number one most terrible commercial EVER. It's so catchy that you can't help but sing it, yet every time you do, you want to claw your eyes out. The jingle is just one woman with a terrible voice, singing a terrible song, with terrible slant rhyme, about terrible things. Guess how it sounds.
