Finding that courage

By Anna Kasper

Dear Anna,

I like a girl and don't know how to tell her. I'm used to dating girls that I have very little in common with, girls who I know I won't be with for more than a couple of months. It’s different with this new girl. We have everything in common, and hanging out with her is ridiculously fun. We've made plans to see each other everyday since we met. I've never really tried to notice if a girl cared for me, I just assumed they didn't. So now that it matters, I can't tell. How do I know if she feels the same way I do, and how do I approach asking out the coolest girl I will ever meet?

By Melissa LeBaron

Students often gripe and grumble about what’s not happening on campus. Most will point out that parking is impossible, food options are limited, and activities are scarce.

If some people took the time to stand back and see the bigger picture, they could be a bit more appreciative of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Long night? Hangover here

By Melissa Campbell

What feels great tonight, may feel like hell tomorrow.

Such is the case for students who experience the dreaded hangover after a night of heavy drinking. However, not all who have more than their share of alcohol wake up the next morning with a splitting headache and other symptoms that include nausea, vomiting, thirst, dizziness, fatigue and muscle cramps.
