Thursday, 31 March 2011
by Spencer Gaffney
If you are anything like a certain Ink blogger who will remain unnamed, you spend your computing hours (known colloquially around campus as “lectures”) playing Dog Fight 2 and checking if your favorite web comics have updated yet today. In which case, we heard some very exciting news! Randall Munroe, creator of xkcd, will be

by Lauren Zumbach
D-Day is upon us. That would be Decision Day, when the fateful email arrives: in? or out? You remember what it’s like to be there. I mean, this isn’t just any shot at acceptance, this determines the next four years of their lives – maybe the rest of their lives. This year’s admission rate was

Orange Bubble Syndrome is something that many of us take for granted. We get stuck in a cycle of rotating between weekends at Prospect, weekdays at Firestone and occasional excursions for late meal at Frist. We micromanage our days in GCals of rainbow-colored sleep deprivation. We might stop once in a while to read something

A big weekend ahead for the arts at Princeton! Give yourself a couple hours to relax after an epically long (and snowy…sigh) first week back: In the mood for a (literally) epic evening of opera?

by Nathan Serota
Generally, academia downplays its commentary on popular culture and music. Among advertised lectures and academic events at Princeton, those relating to [bio]ethics, politics and African-American studies certainly reign supreme (though recently one might make a case for Irish Studies). However, this weekend, discourse on contemporary music literally gets in the mix. Enter K-Pop. On March
