Eastern Michigan's Student Union

I was going through my documents on my laptop and found this article I wrote for my journalism class last year. It's short and I thought I would share it with you all.

Students Less Than Excited About New Student Center

A group of linguistics students discussed the opening of the new student center recently showing a lack of enthusiasm over the new building. The biggest complaints among the students were not being able to use their meal plan in the dining area and the distance the building is from the rest of campus.


Eastern Michigan University’s new student center may be larger than McKenny Union, but students are not as excited about it. Lack of meal plan options was the biggest complaint cited.

A group of linguistic students attending class in Pray Harold today were asked if they had been to the new union and whether or not they liked it there.

The majority of the class had been to the new union. Most of the students were not displeased, however, they weren’t excited either. “The services offered does not compare to the amount of money spent building the new union”, says Jason Fry, a junior at EMU. The chief complaint of Jason and several other students in the class was they were not able to use their meal plan options at the restaurants in the union. One student was overheard saying, “The restaurants will accept credit cards, but not meal plans. That is just wrong.”

The students did like the added touches of the fireplaces and flat screen TVs. They said, however, that was not enough to get them excited about the new building.

Of the students polled only a handful had not yet visited the new union. These students mainly consisted of graduating seniors who felt they had no reason to go to there. The other few who had not yet been to the new union did not want to go there because of the distance from the main campus. Kaylene, one of the students interviewed, simply said “it’s too far away”.

Where does all my money go?

This information was taken from the following article :

If you're wondering where your money goes each month here are 10 expenses that really add up.

Coffee, cigarettes, alcohol, manicures, eating out, bottled water, car washes, vending machines, gym memberships, and credit card interest.

Angelina and Pam Anderson

Yesterday while standing in the checkout line at the grocery store I was looking at the magazines. On the cover of one of them there was a headline about Angelina Jolie possibly being pregnant because she gained 10pounds. What the heck? First off they made it this huge deal because she gained 10 pounds and, apparently, because she put on a few pounds that means she might be pregnant? What has happened to this world?

People wonder why so many teenaged girls are so obsessed with their weight. Well because magazines are making a big deal because some one gained 10 pounds. Duh!

Pamela Anderson got married again. It was a quickie Vegas wedding this time. She married the guy who made the infamous sex tape with Paris Hilton. Personally, I'm glad she's not married to Kid Rock anymore because I'm secretly hoping he's saving himself for me.
