If there is one thing in life I'm not, it's organized. In almost every aspect of my life, I am a total mess. My room is completely cluttered with useless knickknacks and clothes, my car is littered with papers, old water bottles and CDs and no matter how much I tell myself that "this is the year I'll stay organized," it always falls apart around day three of the school year.

Over the summer, while Drewids were globe-trotting or spending their days in the sun, Drew University was very busy. Many buildings were renovated and given new character. Tolley/Brown and the Commons look completely different from how we all saw them last, and the changes took students' breath away, with sleek and modern-looking architecture and matching colors.

The standard way of thinking about college is that students enroll to get a degree and learn to be independent. You would think that this idea resonates in every college student today, but unfortunately that is not the case. A number of college support groups have recently suggested that college students face several fundamental problems.

College is what most people call the best days of their lives. And in case you can't tell by the coed dorms, your older siblings, or any college movie you've ever seen, sex plays a rather large role in the good times you will have at Drew. Most of us, regardless of whether we had sex before college, come to Drew oblivious as to how to use our "special parts" to give and receive sexual pleasure.

Alcohol has been in the news a lot lately, and the drinking age has been a subject of hot debate. At what age is alcohol safe to be consumed? At what age does an individual possess the necessary maturity to drink hard beverages? At what point in a person's life is one physiologically ready to consume alcohol?
These are very important questions.

As far as college goes these days, the hardest part of attending is not the exams or the papers. Trying to fit in and balancing class with partying isn't the hardest part either.
Instead, the most difficult challenge for college students today is simply being able to afford it.

It went from award-winning to simply optional in what seemed to be a blur. MSU Campus Connect, the phone service provided by RAVE Wireless, is no longer required like it once was. It was that policy of the mandatory program that gave Montclair State University national recognition and praise.

Don't skip the experience
Last year, I remember my first semester as a freshman having my First-Year Seminar at 9 a.m. every Tuesday and Thursday, so I booked an 8:45 a.m. class on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I thought if I woke up at the same time every day, it would make things easier for me.

Drinking Dialogue
To the Editor:
The article published last week entitled, "College presidents open discussion on drinking age," discussed the re-opening of a dialogue about the current minimum age to purchase and/or imbibe alcohol. It aptly described the positions of both President Dan Weiss and representatives from the local chapter Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

Four years is a long time but when we are discussing politics, it seems like an eternity. Think of all that has occurred in the past four years since Bush's "re-election". In 2006, we had the Democrats, led by Speaker of The United States House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, taking control of Congress and claiming that they would put an end to President Bush's policies yet that change never came.

It's the start of another Fall Semester at the university. The grass is mowed. Main Street is buzzing. And looks on the faces of thousands of freshmen - panic stricken, lost and scared out of their minds - fill the Green as they try to find their way from Memorial Hall to Smith Hall.

For many Villanovans, last Monday, the first day of classes, was the first time they set foot on Main Campus this year. These students returned to the Villanova campus far later than ever before. The reason? After three years as Wildcats, they don't happen to live here anymore.

It may surprise you to know that 40 percent of students at Villanova do not receive any financial aid. It may shock you that only 78 percent of general financial need is met. You may even be angry that the reason for those numbers and our general lack of financial aid is that over Villanova's 166-year history, the majority of our $360 million endowment has been raised only in the last 30 years.

Move-in day: exciting yet dreadful. Coming back to MC is always exciting, especially if it's a first-time experience. Freshmen and transfers have it easy, the volunteer moving crew makes moving in a piece of cake- everything carried up the stairs and right to the room.

Barrack Obama might be right. If ever there was a time for change we
can believe in, it would seem to be now. At the Wilf Campus, anyhow.
These days nowhere is more ripe for change than the Y part of YU, and
things already seem headed in the right direction.

This newspaper has written many times before about the deplorable state of campus housing for underclassmen. Most everyone is aware of the state (and lack of) campus housing, but in the University's defense, it faces major challenges within and outside of the Villanova community in order to have residence halls that will accommodate every student.

If you're anything like me, you read Forbes for one reason and one reason only: the lists. And as anyone who knows anything will tell you, the best list ever compiled by the magazine is "World's Most Expensive Yachts."
When at a loss for conversation with my more nautical peers, I have often saved face by holding forth on the relative merits of the Alysia ($116.

Even before a candidate is elected, the public can gain a sense of how they will act once they take office, based on the decisions the candidates make during their campaigns. A good example of this is the Republican nominee for president, John McCain.
McCain, who has been involved in national politics for more than 20 years, had one last major decision to make before the election-choosing a safe running mate.

Early Friday morning on Aug. 8, CNN was ablaze with news that Russia was bombing the Georgian province of South Occetia. There was little explanation of what the conflict between Georgia and Russia really was about. The aggressor appeared to be Russia after it moved its 57th Army Division into the small province; allegedly to rescue and protect Russian peacekeepers.

There are two things wide-eyed freshmen can't seem to get enough of during NSO: drinking and advice.
The former will be concentrated in periodic outbursts of debauchery, but the latter will be unforgivingly relentless, largely unhelpful and almost uniformly corny.

I have become preoccupied with paper; how much we use, how much is recycled, how much is not recycled, where it goes after we are done with it, how many trees we could save if we decided to make it mandatory to print double-sided - there's a lot to think about.

One of the first projects to be completed was the townhouses.

Teams like the Tampa Bay Rays should come out of nowhere every year. Olympic Sports should be shown on National TV more than just once every four years. Voter turnouts should BE closer to 100 percent than they are to 50 percent.
Unfortunately, some things in this country fail to change because they are rooted in our psyche.
