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.

Team USA Dominates at they Olympics: Culinary Olympics that is!

From October 19th-22nd, the world went into a battle to see who would come out on top in a competition so fierce, only few are allowed the privilege to compete.  And yes, I am talking about the Olympics, but not the kind you are thinking of. No clubs, no balls, no nets, just pots, pans, and a bit of elbow grease. That's right, the Culinary Olympics. Only days ago, the world went into a competition so hot, only those with enough skill were left standing. The team won multiple golds, silvers and bronzes in a variety of different events, such as cold food, hot food, and many different types of cuisines. Overall the competition was fierce as the United States came in 7th out of 32 national teams.

The articles on texting were not what I expected. I know that when I was reading them, I did not plan on hearing anything about texting helping to prevent teenagers from smoking. As I read on to learn that the reason behind it has to do with what they wish to put their money towards, it made sense, but still was surprising. I never thought of something as simple as texting to be the thought of so many people for so many different reasons.

Scholarly articles are both valuable and useful for many reasons. Because they were written by professionals, it is easy to trust that what they say is true. Also, because they wait years sometimes, the information is almost sure to be accurate.  It's more professional looking if you have articles from someone who actually knows what they are talking about.
