It's tough being a college student.
All of those late nights of studying charged up with energy drinks, working with other students who may not have an interest in helping you when it comes to group projects and dreaded papers add to the mounting pile of work.

Last week my room looked like the aftermath of bad natural disaster. There were countless outfits strewn all over my bed and three or four shoe boxes stacked up in a corner. Mismatched hangers loitered on my floor like confetti. My bathroom vanity was even worse.

Every other Wednesday, you, our readers, open up the newspaper to page 4 and see my lovely face, followed by a column full of my pontificating on some social issue. Sorry to break the flow of things, but I just can't seem to think right now. I'm currently more concerned with immediate stressors: mainly, graduation.

With all the online technology and social networking available today, starting and spreading a rumor is easier than ever. But it has also become easier to get caught.

If you are a driver in the Chicagoland area then you know your worst enemy. No, not the bikers who fail to see instructions on the road or the traffic wardens who spot out an expired parking meter just seconds before you run back to your car. The real enemies of any driver in Chicago are those ever vigilant red-light cameras.

The Flame apologizes for running the article, "Paranoia in the Gambling Den" (Sean Murray, Mar. 1, 2010), which covered the UIC Men's Tennis Team. The article was intended to propose that people placing bets against the UIC athletic teams would soon lose their money due to the Men's Tennis Team's winning streak.

I grabbed a copy of the Flame two weeks ago and lo and behold, right there on the front page something struck me.
If you haven't read the article "The Perks of Being a Chancellor," I highly recommend you visit the Flame's website, search through the backlog and give it a skim.

Attending a university is the last possible step in organized education. It is kind of like living independently, but not really. It has a general feeling of responsibility, but something is lacking. The first step of organized education is preschool; college is pre-world.

Move over Baby Boomers! A new generation is taking over and nothing is about to stand in their way. The Millennials, as they are being called, are all 18 to 29-year-olds who have come into adulthood in the new millennium (in other words they are the children of the digital age).

Why is recycling so hard for some people? Not just recycling but also, to follow the cliché, reducing and reusing. In all seriousness it is not asking much.
Energy efficiency and "going green" are fairly big topics in our society, compact fluorescent light bulbs (those spirally light bulbs that save energy) and hybrid cars are gaining popularity, yet so many people won't put forth the effort to just recycle.

One of the most important tenets of the American legal system is that a man has the right to face his accusers. The reasons for this are both plentiful and obvious. It keeps unwarranted and false accusations from clogging the system.
It is time for the faculty members circulating the no confidence petition against Blair Lord, provost and vice president for academic affairs, to step out of the shadows and reveal themselves to the public.

The snow is finally melting, the grass is visible again and spring is just around the corner. As the flowers begin to poke their heads above the ground and robins are seen hopping across the lawn as the heralds of warmer weather, the buds on all the trees aren't the only things bursting into bloom.
