Quick takes on life from our editors
Ode to grandma’s cookies
I’m already started to yearn for homemade meals. One quarter’s worth of ramen will do that to a girl.

Best birthday yet
Shout-out to Bryce, Allison, Chris and Jenal for making my birthday super awesome! And shout-out to Ryan Tarinelli for killing it on trombone.

Listen
If you don’t allow yourself to love, you are ignoring a large part of what makes you human.

LSB Hymn 544
“O love, how deep, how broad, how high, Beyond all thought and fantasy, That God, the Son of God should take, Our mortal form for mortals’ sake!” Got to sing that in church. So beautiful.

I should listen to my own advice
I’ve written a version of this OTC every year for the last three and every year I’m right again. Life is so much better with a clean room, finished laundry and a refreshed lease on life. Maybe this time I’ll actually keep it clean?

Feeling 22
I remember my 13th birthday. I had a dance party at a bowling alley and my sister stole my “crush” from me. Or how about my 11th birthday when I got a sweet Avril Lavigne album? Thank God those days are over. I will see you party folks at the bar tonight.

Early mornings
I’m not one to complain about having 8:30 a.m. classes on Mondays or coming to campus by 9 a.m. on Thursdays, but 4 a.m.? Why on Earth is anyone awake at this hour? Oh yeah, press check.

Sparkles of doom
I wonder if we gathered all of the sparkly backpacks on campus and lined them up, we could finally construct an Archimedes Death Ray. “MythBusters” never got the Death Ray to work, but with enough ingenuity I believe college students can accomplish anything.

You should be
Excited for Blot to come out next week. I am. I’m not excited, however, that my day started with a 4 a.m. road trip this morning.
–Katelyn
Everyone
Stop what you’re doing and go see “Gone Girl.”

MLB Playoffs
October is here, meaning the MLB Playoffs are in full swing and the Cards are back in the mix. Here’s to hoping they go all the way this time.

Eye of the tiger
Here come midterms. Cue the montage of study-related activities … now.
