Chinese students “love” Suburban Express; better than Amtrak’s scheduled delays

With all the recent controversy surrounding Suburban Express, international students have chosen to speak out in support of the transportation company.

Many students have commented on the “wonderful work ethic” that Suburban Express adheres to. In fact, Chinese students said it reminds them of home (Communist China).

“They may be racist, but at least they’re always on time, and I can appreciate that. We all have busy schedules, so it’s great that they are so reliable,” said Hai Shang, international student from Shanghai, China and junior in Political Science.

Shang said that out of all the transportation companies he’s ridden with, Amtrak has by far “been the worst.”

“Say what you will about the conservative gentlemen managing Suburban Express, but I have never had to wait an hour for the bus to get here, unlike Amtrak and their horrible work ethic.”

Shang even went on to say that he did not find the ad offensive because he doesn’t like Chinese people either.

“I know that as a social justice warrior, I should be deeply offended, but as a PETA supporter, I don’t want to be anywhere around those cat eaters,” Shang said.

The film is deeply imbedded in patriarchal values, and the notion that a woman must be complacent to her male counterparts, as seen through the sheepish representation of the “good” Mrs. de Winter. She lacks agency, and her unauthoritative personality proves ideal to Maxim, as he wants a wife he can control. The film’s focus on depicting women with indomitable ...

Virgo horoscope alludes to death; girl plans own funeral

Picture courtesy of Google Images Horoscopes have been around for over 20 centuries, but with millennials straying away from Christianity and other forms of organized Religion, zodiac signs have reemerged as a form of science, and people everywhere are searching for life's answers in the stars. Jenna Naeve, 23, said that the first thing she does every morning when she wakes up is log on to accuratehoroscopes.com and reads about what the universe has in store for her that day. She then plans her day accordingly.  “I want to know if I’m going to have a bad day ahead of time, so I can be prepared, you know,” Naeve said. “I’m a Virgo, we’re very anal-retentive.”  Most days, Naeve’s horoscope just tells her to preoccupy her time with business affairs, and she will attract the right guy for her, but today, Naeve’s horoscope says to be weary of death, and therefore, she has taken initiative and has begun to plan her own funeral.  “As a Virgo, I need to follo...
