Cringe Night at Still
By Elizabeth Sanderson
Why hold on to past memories of embarrassing moments with the written proof that they actually happened?

It’s a wonderful idea from which “Cringe Night” was born.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day
By Brendan Kennedy
To me, St. Patrick’s day is more than that. I don’t mean to say it’s strictly a day to pound Guinness, Jameson and Bailey’s in massive quantities. That is to say, if you’d like to get hammered in such a manner, I strongly encourage you (additionally, if you want to do shots of tequila and drink Dos Equis come Cinco de Mayo, I’m down) but for me it is a chance to consider my own inner Irish-ness.

After a few sips of the can, the alcohol begins to hit your bloodstream, bringing that familiar feeling. Then, as you drink, you notice yourself drinking faster. With time, you become incredibly caffeinated, and drunker. As you put your can down, one realizes a fist is being made for no reason.
