This week’s Myspace Question of the Week: “What was the first thing you thought when you woke up this morning?”
“I woke up this morning and saw that my shoulder was covered in vomit and I was like, “Oh shit who’s vomit is that?” and then I was just looking around and there was vomit in random places on my bed that didn’t make sense so the first thing I did was go to the bathroom and take a shower.” (School of Communications ’14)
Survey: Employers Hire Liberal Arts Grads
Liberal arts majors: maybe you won’t live in a cardboard box after all. A recent survey of over 200 businesses showed that many employers actually are recruiting liberal arts majors. Thirty percent of those surveyed were seeking out graduates who studied liberal arts, only slightly less than the 34% sought after engineering students. More useful majors such as finance and accounting yielded a smaller 18% recruitment rate. Now disenchanted Weinberg students can reconsider the uselessness of their art history and philosophy double majors. However, the survey did not indicate what percentage of businesses surveyed were coffee shops.

In the Near Future, There Will be a Horror Movie About a Haunted Box of Porn
Ever had a nightmare of a box of porn coming to life? Yea. Apparently other people did too and they want to turn it into a movie. A Christian production company is currently working on “Harmless”, a Paranormal Activity-esque horror film. The plot: a father’s beloved box of porn unleashes a monster that looks like the girl from “The Ring” all grown up and about to get married. Designed as a “social commentary” on the evils of pornography, the film details how the Bad Hair Day Bride destroys the man’s family. Maybe their real problem is that they let their kid take a box of porn into the woods and stare at it. Considering how the filmmakers are actually serious about this project, it has potential for becoming a cult B-movie legend. Also there’s an ice castle or something. Follow the link for the trailer.
Half of all college students could be considered alcoholics
Good news from psychiatrists — you’ve got an even better chance of being an alcoholic. Not actually, but thanks to the new classifications of alcoholism and addiction problems, over 40-60% of college students could be considered alcoholics according to a recent study. The streamlining of all addiction diagnoses no longer distinguishes between substance abuse and substance dependence which previously separated heavy binge drinking from chronic addiction. Heartening news from doctors.

Freshman switches it up and gets frisky with a sailor
Female | Freshman | NMQ | Medill
As a freshman, I hadn’t heard any stories about out-of-town guys visiting Northwestern and figured they’d be fun. As a female, I figured any mildly attractive man in a uniform is worthy of my time and worthy of getting in my pants. It is these two unfortunate miscommunications that led to a fateful two weekends full of mental roller coasters… more

Adam Lambert is back, gearing up to sit on pop throne
Pop music, especially of the trashy variety, has been a woman’s game as of late, but there’s one boy not named Justin who’s planning on infiltrating – and he very well could be successful. Adam Lambert, of American Idol fame, released his second album, Trespassing, on Tuesday and it’s a heavyweight pop record to be reckoned with. It’s just as addictive and exciting as anything our fave girls have been releasing this past year. more
“Smart Dillo” will help you have a safe Dillo Day
Debuting on Facebook on Wednesday, Norris marketing campaign introduced its latest campaign. All around campus armadillos are helping Northwestern students prepare for their namesake festivities. The “Smart Dillo” can be seen in a number of settings holding red solo cups (“Dillo day is a marathon not a sprint”), demonstrating consequences aka dressed up in police uniforms , and even sporting full graduation regalia (the ominous “Keep your future in mind.”). Smart Dillo offers students helpful reminders of what to do if a friend passes out (represented by an armadillo lying down with x’s on its eyes) and what to bring to stock up on the day. According to an insider on the photo shoot, the armadillos were sold as beer can holders on Amazon. Only at Northwestern would we find a way to utilize armadillo beer can holders for educational purposes. And only at Northwestern would it make so much sense.
