With the multiple school shootings that have happened over the last few weeks, it makes me wonder just how safe we are on campus. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the thought running through many people's minds as they walk through the quad or sit in class.

Just as millions of people are tuning in to election coverage, there is another watch taking place amongst celebrity gossips - the Owen and Kate watch. The question over whether or not they're dating again, which only came about because they were seen together, has reinforced my belief that people are obsessed with who's dating who.

Hillary Clinton irritates me. She makes me feel like a degenerate. It's because I focus more on her superficial characteristics than her qualifications. I see her imperfections - not her policies. But based on her polarizing nature, I know I am not the only one stumped by this first lady-turned possible commander-in-chief.

After nearly three months of misery, an accord was struck and the writers ended their strike. Our fears of endless "Farmer Wants a Wife" marathons and "Deal or No Deal" reruns seemed to be put to rest. We emphasize "seemed." Now, a fresh round of striking is about to begin - and it's the actors' turn to make demands.
