Tech Nightmare: Inbox Overflowing With Spam And A Super Icky Goo
Glenn Carstens-Peters

It was a regular morning for Ball State University student Jacob Hedlepki, 21, until he opened his email inbox, only to be met with a flood of Bath and Body Works coupons and also a bunch of icky goo.

Gross.

According to Hedlepki, the gloopy glop first started oozing out of the inbox ever so slightly and then began pouring out at a breakneck speed. The goo-sludge was a translucent purplish-brown with a stink smell like old waffles or something.

"It was really so grossy bad," Hedlepki states. It was so grossy bad in fact, that Hedlepki had to step out of his lecture due to the tragic prime time slime time explosion. Said his Psychology professor, Dr. Richard Bards, "The gooey was so soupy soggy. It really became a distraction to the other students." One student added, "At first, it was kind of fun, like the Kids' Choice Awards. But then, it got noopy nasty and I didn't like it no more."

Unsure of what to do, Hedlepki finally decided his best bet was to take the mega mucus machine to the Apple Store. "I had to run to my car while my computer spewed skunk syrup all over the campus. I felt saddy for being the mayor of Sludge Town," Hedlepki said, very saddy.

Four hours later, the entire Genius Bar of the River Hills Apple Store was covered in sour Shrek cream and still at a loss. Said Apple Store employee Riley Carver, "I've worked here for five years but this is the first time I've come across a laptop leaking ucky nasto juice." Carver claimed that the Geniuses tried everything from deleting emails to rebooting the computer, but it only made things worse and the laptop eventually began "goin' goo ga crazy again but this time with big ol' crunchy chunks, too."

Eventually, the moo shoo goo shoo chunk puddle absorbed the laptop within itself, rendering the device useless. Hedlepki left the store with a new Macbook Pro in hand, having had to pay out-of-pocket as Apple clarified that Apple Care does not cover "crispy crusty stick scum problemos."

Hedlepki reports that he has had no goo problems since when opening his inbox, other than still receiving four thousand Bath and Body Works coupons a day.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
