How To Defeat Juicy Campus
Since the launch of Juicy Campus, the writers at The Colonialist have come up with about 50 different posts that we wanted to make about the site. While I don’t intend to devote 17 full posts to the website (like the Patriot), I do think it is time to say something.
Juicy Campus is fun because [...]
An Open Letter to Vishal Aswani: What the Fuck?
WHAT THE FUCK!?!
A recent Hat Shed article, which has a link to a pdf of an awkward, threatening email from Greta Twombly to the SA representatives. A png (portable network graphics! it’s like a jpeg, but different because it…oh, nevermind) of the pdf is at the bottom of this post, click it and make [...]
An Open Letter to Vishal Aswani
Vishal,
I think it’s time we start this discussion.
You’ve been doing a great job so far, but there’s something you need to do for our school:
Get us election day off.
November 4th is a big day for this country and especially it’s young people. On a typical school day, many students have trouble finding time to eat [...]
9/11 at GW
Just a quick note on the anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
As my class spoke of the courage of America’s recovery after 9/11, and how the nation bonded together to keep the country moving, I looked to the person sitting next to me. The girl was completely unaware of [...]
Thank you, Vishal Aswani
In coordination with the opinions section of the Hatchet, I wrote a piece for the back to school issue out today. I decided to post the article on The Colonialist and get it into The Hatchet to ensure that a larger number of students will be able to read it. It’s very important to me [...]
Student Association 2.0
When The Colonialist was started last fall, the complete lack of credible counterparts was surprising. GW is a pretty vocal university, yet most people seemed content to only learn about GW from the Hatchet. The Daily Colonial was there but hardly read. It felt like students didn’t want any people-powered sources for information.
Things seem to [...]
More Importantly…
In Travis’ recent post about the hatchet, GW’s lack of community, and incoming freshman, he reposted his original column on advice for incoming freshman, garnering comments such as the following:
“Any incoming freshman that would take your satirical advice seriously should never have been admitted because they are probably at your low intelligence level and I [...]
What Stereotype Will You Be 2012?
It’s summer. I have better things to do than think about GW. However, after seeing the front page of the CI issue of the Hatchet I couldn’t help it.
The Hatchet poses an excellent question to incoming freshmen: WHAT STEREOTYPE WILL YOU BE?
Will you play sports? Will you play guitar? Will you drink beer out of [...]
Book Selling Reminder
Don’t Sell To The Coffee Guy In Kogan!
Reminder from my experience last semester:
I decided to sell to the cart outside of Kogan on H St. I buy coffee from the guy twice a week and he always seemed to be a fair man. I gave him five books to scan, and he did so with [...]
Oh, She’s Just Being Miley!
Once a year, it happens. A song is released that I want to hate with every fiber of my existence. It’s poppy, it’s over-produced, and normally it’s fucking stupid. Yet, for reasons beyond human comprehension, it is the most catchy song I’ve ever heard… and I can’t stop listening to it.
In 2006, I had Kelly [...]
