Share: The weather was hot, but curious students still milled about, looking at the various tables that lined the quad. A balloon arch led the way to the starting table, where students could check in and get their instructions. If they visited nine tables, 3 each of different categories, they would earn a free lunch. For college students, the words “free” and “food” can be very enticing. It was a good way to bring students out to check out what services for mental and physical …

Taylor Swift bores audience with cheap shots thrown at Charli XCX

Once again, to the public, the pop girlies are fighting, but digging deeper, it’s really just one pop girly making …

The trailer paints an idea of a horror action film but the actual …
