The guilt of gaming

By Katie Toussaint | September 15, 2011

I spent the better half of my Labor Day morning dancing to the Pussycat Dolls. I'm not the most skilled when it comes to interpretive dance, so I was utterly spastic when I tried to imitate the movements of the dancing silhouette on the screen. The Wii Dance disc was whirring in the disk drive and, according to the score, the 7-year-old boy I was babysitting was out-grooving me. I lost that round and relinquished the controller to the 4-year-old when Ke$ha kicked in for the next sequence of shimmying.

By admin | September 8, 2011

Dear Men, After reading Mr. Rhatican's letter, I realized that I am suffering from the same problem, but with straight men.

Dear Brendan, You may respond by saying that because I am wearing shorts and a t-shirt while writing this, you won't be able to take me seriously.

Irene's knocking on your door, so answer

By Gyra Chan | September 1, 2011

Fifty mph gale force winds, "Come on Eileen" looping, several bottles of wine, one brave China Panda delivery man, various instances of loud female shrieking, a case of PBR and four frumpy outfits later, the ladies of 601 can officially say they made it through Irene with minimal bodily damage and a much better understanding of storm preparation. Here are a few things that we learned... Lesson one: When you stock up on decorative candles, be sure that you have some form of fire readily available.

A Letter to Women

By admin | September 1, 2011

Dear women, You may respond by saying that men cannot speak on women's clothing, but I assure you that it has become as much an issue for me as it is for you.

Syllabus week blues, conversation cues

By Gyra Chan | August 25, 2011

Well Richmonders, after a hot, long and often boring summer, we are finally back on the campus we know and love with all the people we know, love and Facebook stalk... Now don't get me wrong, I look forward to seeing all of my friends just as much, if not more, than the average student.

Quality connections

By Reilly Moore | April 21, 2011

By the time this column hits print, I'll have finished my last college class. For many seniors like me, graduation might as well have been a four letter word during the past four years.

One last week with nothing left to lose

By Gyra Chan | April 21, 2011

Alas, it is the final edition of The Collegian before school ends and everyone goes his or her own way for the summer (but not before going out with a final metaphorical and literal bang at beach week). So, my question for everyone: What do you have to lose? Richmond is such a small campus that if you do something outrageously mean, slutty, ballsy, fashionably unacceptable or socially shocking in any way, shape or form, the chances of this deviation from the norm following you around via the Richmond gossip mill are pretty high. But as every celebrity who has ever had a sex tape leaked can tell you, time heals all and everything will blow over -- so why not consider summer as this blow-over period? Seriously, this is the last time that you are going to be on the Richmond campus with all your friends, enemies, lovers, crushes and dream boys for the next three months, so why not take this opportunity to do something that you've been wanting to do all year? If you're a senior, you are practically unstoppable.
