23 Times "Weekend Update" Made the News Fun
www.etonline.com

Unlike many other, well-informed Americans, I just can't bring myself to keep up with the news everyday. At the end of my day, the last thing I need is a reminder that the American government is running around in chaos, or that the earth is dying and we're all doomed. I don't need that at the end of the day. Not to mention the chaos that is trying to weed out "unbiased" journalism. But if I can keep up with the big highlights of the world around me, and still keep a smile on, that's the kind of news I can appreciate. So thank you, "Weekend Update" for lightly informing me about the world around me while tickling my funny bone at the same time.


Huh. Good to know.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
