SOARES: Clever headline goes here
I reiterate the aforementioned bold claim and shift words in an attempt at cleverness. This may or may not succeed. To conclude, I throw in a one-sentence paragraph.
One Last Shot
Dear Sirs and Madams of Skull and Bones: We're writing because we didn't get our pre-taps last night. You must have forgotten us, which is weird because we've friend-requested all 15 of you on Facebook.
SOARES: Status update
845 million people use Facebook. For two weeks, I wasn't one of them.
SOARES: Subletter wanted
Off-campus living is not without its complications, but neither is it without its benefits. Though I’ll starve if I don’t stock my fridge, I’ll never again be subject to the dining hall’s tofu concoctions. Though inertia prevents the trash from taking itself out, it also keeps the books strewn about my apartment opened to the same page.
And Music for All
Inspired by President Obama’s recently released campaign playlist, whose tunes so accurately capture America’s national climate (e.g., “Green Onions,” by Booker Ts & The MGs), we compiled a soundtrack for the every day of Yale life.
SOARES: Naming Yale
I don’t really go to Yale. I go to a school up north. On the East Coast. Like an hour forty from New York. I’ll concede Connecticut if you ask me three or four times and narrow it down to New Haven if you are persistent. But its name, Yale, won’t come out unless you ask, “You’re that guy who goes to Harvard, right?”

Would most people say that you’re a very open person, and do you usually speak freely about your feelings? If so, you may be on your way to a summer internship with a multi-billion dollar asset management firm. Good luck.
SOARES: An indignation not our own
The prologue is by now familiar: A star athlete and stellar student, Patrick Witt spent half of last November debating whether he would attend his Rhodes scholarship interview in Atlanta or lead Yale against Harvard in his final college football game. Choosing team over self-interest, Witt captured the nation’s heart. But here the plot twists: According to the New York Times, by the time Witt announced his decision, it was no longer his to make.
SOARES: Paying for our vibrant future
When President Levin and Provost Salovey updated the faculty and staff on the University’s financial situation last week, they had some good news—we’ll make it through the 2013 fiscal year without “deep across-the-board” cuts—and some bad news: our piggy bank is still running low.
SOARES: What’s your rating?
Sarkozy should have gone to FreeCreditReport.com. Last Friday, Standard & Poor’s nixed France’s AAA rating and banished the country to the lowly echelon of AA+ states, which includes Guernsey, the Isle of Man and — ah, right — the United States.
