After bitching for a year and a half about how god-awful our campus newspaper was, I decided to try and change
the situation. Since I knew the opinion editor, getting a job as a columnist was pretty easy. Much of what I
write references other things going on in the paper at the time, so if something doesn't make sense,
that's probably why.
