Little things hurt a lot. Throughout the semester, the Union covered a series of campuswide problems that affect students, faculty and anyone who walks on college grounds. The problems range from food service to safety issues.

Apparently I have matured quite a bit recently, so says my father and mother-in-law, who had time to talk about yours truly this past weekend over breakfast. If I am so grown up, then why is my laundry piled high in my closet? If I am so grown up, why do I use my wife's toothbrush because I can never remember what color mine is?

Telling someone he has matured is like telling someone in a bad mood to have a nice day.
