When I decided to stay at Elon University for the summer, I was expecting to be fairly bored. I've never been the type of person who enjoys sitting around doing nothing, but since most of my friends are living the glamorous intern life in Munich or New York or Los Angeles, I resigned myself to a life of work, sleep and television. But within a week of arriving, I began to realize that this summer might not be as boring as I thought. I soon ran into an acquaintance of mine from freshman year.
Students checking their Elon University inbox this week may have found a strange e-mail waiting for them. Starting Thursday June 10th, many current students and alumni received a spam e-mail with the subject "Deactivation of Account!!!" Elon University officials confirm that they did not send the e-mail and students should be cautious. The e-mail asked recipients to reply to the message with information such as their username and password. "Elon University will never ask students to reply with their personal information in an e-mail," Assistant Vice President of Technology and Chief Information Office Christopher Waters said. Waters says spammers will hack into Gmail to try and obtain personal information from users. In this case, recipients can tell the e-mail is spam because although the sender is labeled "Elon University," the actual address is "gmail.com," not "elon.edu." According to Waters, the university's spam filters occasionally do not block out everything they should. Campus Technology says that students should only provide their personal information when it is through an Elon University secured login.

NEW YORK CITY - New York fashion is something that has always fascinated me. Being an avid blog-reader and fashion enthusiast, I’d heard the rumors that New Yorkers only wear black and I’d listened to both sides of the who-wore-it-best debate — Parisians or New Yorkers. I’ve seen more than my fair share of New York street style photos and have been exposed to pop culture portraying New Yorkers as skinny, black-wearing, cigarette-smoking types who either work on Wall Street, sell their souls to the fashion industry or paint for a living. To put it simply, stereotypes were not going to cut it for me.

In my world, food is like oxygen: It’s everywhere and always present. At home it’s a flight of stairs away in a large, climate-controlled pantry or refrigerator. With my meal plan at school I have over eight dining locations to choose from on a daily basis from the time I wake up until 1 a.m. I never go into Lakeside Dining Hall or Acorn Coffee Shop hoping there will be enough food to satisfy my hunger.
