VIENNA & BIRTH OF THE MODERN


Poorly-edited magazine Seventeen is coming to a MySpace near you! In the form of "15 freshman girls" (omg, misnomer!- Ed) who will be blogging all the "juicy details" from their first year at school!

The girls will be writing about everything from like, classes or whatever, to like, how to break up with your high school boyfriend that you're so going to dump in like, 2 weeks. The interactive reality website is designed to "make the freshman year less daunting by letting girls in on daily college life and allowing them to interact directly with each of the 'Freshman 15.' As a result, Seventeen's readers and MySpace's users will be way ahead of the game," says Atoosa Rubenstein-replacement Ann Shoket.

The group of girls is super diverse, ranging from Liz (UC Berkeley) who "is a liberal, bisexual feminist... and someday [she] wants to be on Broadway!"

And then there's Dev'n, whose name totally has an apostrophe in it! "I just flirted in high school. So I can't wait to date college guys!" the Texas Tech University first-year explains. I know, right?!

Jessica is "hyper, confident, and ditzy!" And swears her life "could be a reality TV series!"

Hey girlfriend? It seems dreams, sometimes, they do come true!

There is way too much going on in Butler these days to be remotely bored. A sampling of the cracked out goings on:

Elevator Dance Party! At around 8:30 PM, four kids rocked out with their iPod speakers to standard indy and classic rock favorites, riding the rightmost elevator next to the computer lab to different floors where they picked up and dropped off fellow unorthodox study breakers.

Seasonal Sandwiches! You may have noticed a new offering in the Butler cafe: for $5.50, you can purchase a Christmas Sandwich (honey baked ham with grilled pineapple and sweet red peppers) a Kwanzaa wrap (roast sweet potatoes, caramelized onions and cranberry chutney), or a Chanukah wrap (corned beef brisket on potato bread with jewish mustard and pickled cabbage). Bwog contributor CML suggests something less God-fearing: "An atheist sub might contain shredded meats to represent what is being done to the moral fiber of our country, and large amounts of tofu to symbolize the lack of any ethos implicit in said doctrine. It would be nasty, short, and brutish, with dasf\nothing at all at the end."

CML also expresses the hope that one of the pre-packaged repasts would exhibit an image of the Virgin Mary or Koranic symbol, similar to the one he discovered in the a slice of Koronet's recently.

Reviews will be posted soon!

UPDATE 3:36AM: Apparently, Bacchanal Events paraded through Butler around 11:30, cheerfully distributing candy and stressballs while wearing Santa hats and shouting "Happy Finals!" The masses roared studious approval.
