The temptation of Easy Mac is a dangerous threat to those trying half-heartedly to eat healthy in college. And pre-vet freshman Kelly Andersen knows personally the appeal the microwave-friendly version of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese has on her and her roommates. “I eat like two meals a day - one at 10 and one at about 5,” she said.

It has plenty of breakdowns and the album’s motivation is built in its overall simplicity.
In all the time I’ve been a critic, Richard Gere has only recently come out with one movie: “The Mothman Prophecies.” Now, being the type of guy that I am, it would be pretty easy to make jokes about him.
Here we go again. It’s nice to see artists out there still playing rock ’n’ roll writing their own music and attempting something other than the mainstream - but being able to differentiate between a band’s songs is key as well.
All the time I hear complaint after complaint. And I understand, believe me; I make my living complaining.
