Ted Cruz's College Roommate Broke The Bro Code
Independent Journal

Personal attacks and name-calling have become very prominent and a crucial aspect of this year's campaigns but few have offered such bleak criticism of a candidate such as Ted Cruz's college roommate, Craig Mazin.

He is an alumnus of Princeton University, class of 1992, with a degree in psychology and has made a rather good life for himself. As an American screenwriter and film producer, Mazin is most widely known for his work on the third and fourth "Scary Movie" films, as well as the second and third issues of "The Hangover." However, professional success seems to not have made up for the suffering he tragically encountered when the cruel fate conspired with Princeton's underclassman housing authorities to curse Mazin, making him the roommate of a now Republican presidential candidate and current Texas Senator Ted Cruz.

While Mazin's professional career allowed him to create a name for himself, it wasn't until his recent online vocal hatred of Cruz's politics and essentially everything else about the candidate that really made his name recognizable.

As he grew to fame on Twitter, roasting his college roomie, the National Reviewpublished a piece about him and promoted it by questioning, “Why is @tedcruz’s freshman college roommate @clmazin so obsessed with him?”

To which Mazin responded, “I’m very interested in him because he’s running for President of the United States. What’s your excuse?” Savage. While I personally believe Mazin has every right to freely express his opinions and encourage him to do so because he is fucking hilarious, there is one flaw in his character that gets me heated — Craig broke the bro code.

During Cruz's time as a Texas solicitor general, a post he held from 2003 to 2008, he defended criminalizing the sales of sex toys, saying that people had no right to "stimulate their genitals." Mazin had a little too much information to share regarding this matter:

Scientists could scour the Antarctic for years and not find something nearly as cold as this tweet. There are few universal unspoken rules, such as how wearing headphones in public simply means "don't speak to me," but not discussing what your roommate does in his/her free time is definitely an important one.

The screenwriter has been frequently tweeting harsh things about the Senator since 2012. All I would like to know is how many times Cruz's alarm clock went off too early in college that made Mazin say any of the following:

I think it says something when a man who spent an entire year of his life with a presidential candidate says that he would rather have the entire Earth die than to see said candidate be victorious.

At least he tried to look at the bright side.

Well, there you have it, folks! America has the opportunity of being run by a dildo. Even though Craig broke the bro code, he is definitely my favorite political commentator thus far and while I would hate to be his roommate, I highly recommend following him on twitter @clmazin because Craig is AMazin'. Keep it up, you lovable asshole.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
