Notre Dame Twitter accounts that must be made

·

Much like it did in the Soviet Union, privacy has become a thing of the past at the University of Notre Dame. You can run but you cannot hide from ND Makeouts, the Twitter account that shares photos of Notre Dame and Saint Mary's students engaged in some serious public displays of affection, henceforth known as "PDA." Students now lock lips at the risk of their makeouts being shared with all of campus (or at least the 2,000-plus followers of ND Makeouts).

I am 7 years old, and my older brother Johnno and I are having a very un-PC time listening to Puff Daddy and the Family's "No Way Out."Johnno has somehow convinced my mother to buy us this album. It's the edited version, but my brother helps me fill in the blanks. I am still at a loss for how my brother was ever introduced to the genre.

While doing this, they wear clothes. Here's a blunt interpretation of this year's Oscar fashions:

Seth MacFarlane hosts Oscars

Hate-watching the Oscars

·

To hate-watch is to willingly watch a broadcast that you know you won't enjoy, solely so you know exactly what to complain about.

Passion Pit

·

Passion Pit has peppered the soundtrack of my college career ever since I first heard their hit "Sleepyhead" at the end of my freshman year. Now the friends I made as a freshman while listening to the band's 2009 full-length debut "Manners" have become fellow members of a post-graduation bridal party, and Passion Pit's infectious falsetto hooks and beats will forever evoke happy memories of dorm parties in 133 Duncan Hall.
