Welcome to 32nd and Chestnut...

This is the blog for 75 or so Drexel students, most of whom are new to college and new to Drexel.

We'll document the strangeness of college life, try to translate our experience for diverse readers, and chronicle what it means to be a college student during these crazy days of economic turmoil and political battle.

That's it for now; I have to go an play Spore.

LeBron new Michael Jordan?

The article I read about simply put, compared LeBron James to Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan was not only a icon in the United States but a global icon. It talked about how Michael Jordan gained world iconic status. He gained this status for many reasong. His endorsements with Nike, Gatorade, and Hanes. Not many athletes have gaines world iconic status, only Muhammad Ali, Tiger Woods, and Jordan himself. LeBron James has many endorsements including Sprite and Nike just to name a few. He is popular in the United States but has not gained the recognition from the rest of the world. His jersey is not the most sold in the world still behind Kevin Garnett and Kobe Bryant. If you look at everything closely there is one main difference. LeBron James hasn't won any NBA championships. James has won an Olympic gold medal but Jordan has too.

I agree with all three text messaging articles. Text messaging is more convenient and better way to contact rather than e-mail. Text messages you can check a lot easier than your e-mail. They last in your phone rather than a call. I also agree with how text messages seem to make feel better. It seems like a more in-depth conversation when you text message. Text messaging is just an easier way for contacting and talking to other people. It doesn't indicate how smart someone is because of the language in which they send messages. (i.e. "hbu" how bout you, "w/e" whatever")
