20 Questions 20-Somethings Still Call Their Moms About
Emily Kerinuk

I moved out, got a credit card, invested, got my first job and learned how to cook (kind of), and yet, I still call my mom everyday (sometimes more than once) to ask her little questions. Some of them are broader like, "How do I adult?" and some are a little more specific like, "What temperature do I cook a potato on?" Even though I could probably find the answers to my questions with a quick Google search, I trust my mom's input way more. What kind of butter do I buy? Mom knows. How do I separate laundry? Mom knows that too. No matter how "adult" you are, sometimes you just have to call your mom because your mom knows best.

1. How much laundry detergent do I use?

2. What is the difference between self-rising and all-purpose flour?

3. Can you help me pack for my trip?

4. Which cleaning product do I use for the shower?

5. Do I really have to use a dryer sheet?

6. What kind of toilet paper do we use?

7. Are taxes a thing I have to do?

8. How long do I bake chicken?

9. My dog is breathing heavier than normal. Is he OK?

10. My car window won't roll up. It's probably fine, right?

11. What would happen if I skip class today?

12. What should I wear today?

13. Are these shoes too much?

14. Can you please transfer some money into my account?

15. How often should I water my plants?

16. Do you think this shirt is cute?

17. How does the food processor work?

18. How do I sew on a button?

19. Why does my refrigerator smell weird?

20. How did you do it?

You're my super hero!

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

A book by the name of "The Stranger."

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
