Dear Hannah,

I generally find myself emotionally attracted to men and physically attracted to women. I am female, but when I masturbate I have to think of myself as a man.

Rising tuition costs are hard to avoid, but the solution the Minnesota Legislature passed for The Minnesota State Colleges and University System is not really a solution at all.

Students enjoy extensive freedom and a variety of extra-curricular activities while at college, but the main reason they fork over thousands of dollars in tuition every year is to receive an education.

Who is Dean Barkley?

This very question struck my curiosity when I saw a recent poll released by ABC St. Paul affiliate, KSTP-TV indicating that former Senator Dean Barkley was polling at a surprising 19 percent in the race for U.S. Senate.

Not-so-Dear Sodexo, why in God's name do you insist on screwing over poor college students?

When I first heard the name Sodexo uttered on campus, I was glad. I was excited for the variety of dining experiences that a poor commuter student like myself would be able to partake in during the three-hour breaks between class and work.

There are many classic albums from the 1990s that have stood the test of time. It was a decade that had a musical revival after the mostly awful pop and metal bands of the 1980s consumed the airwaves and made MTV even more unwatchable.
