The Art of Making Pancakes: A student comically explains why making pancakes is an art form.
First things first: the batter. I suppose you could technically make your own, but that honestly sounds exhausting. Why would you put any more effort into this than you have to; we are making cooked batter discs here, not ornate French cuisine. Just pull out the eternal box of Bisquick […]

Regarding inconsequence and choosing chaos: One tired student’s response to the newest circulating petition.
If you are as terminally online as I am, you may have noticed a new Instagram page called “EU Mask Choice” (@/eumaskchoice) pop up in your feed recently.
