Complaints about Elon's dining services continue; the most recent one at Lakeside Dining Hall. "It was so gross." Jessica Trinidad cut into an unexpected dinner last week at Lakeside Dining Hall. "They gave it to me and when I was cutting into it, it was completely raw on the inside," Trinidad said. An Aramark worker served her raw chicken and when Trinidad brought it back, she was even more surprised by the response. "She responded with she already knew," Trinidad said.
Elizabeth Jinx is a piercer at Inferno Ink Tattoo. "I have 155 of them, and I can tell you the meaning of each one," Jinx said. Each of Jinx's tattoos mean something to her.
For the majority of the kids who attended my high school, the beginning of August was consistently defined by a single, memorable juggernaut of an event: Lollapalooza. Living in a Chicago suburb, I would’ve been considered insane to miss out on the annual weekend – happening nearly in my backyard – that always marked the steady and miserable countdown to the back-to-school blues.
