After finishing the regular season with an 8-2 record in Conference play, the Johns Hopkins Volleyball Team fell in the opening round of the Centennial Conference tournament to Franklin & Marshall.
As a lifelong insomniac, my obsession with Saturday Night Live began early, fourth grade to be exact. Since then, I've watched the program slowly decline year after year until it has reached its pitiful state today.
With the regular season coming to a close the Johns Hopkins Volleyball team pulled even for the week by winning two matches and losing two matches, ending the regular season at .500 with a 20-20 record. In the team's final regular season Centennial Conference match, the Blue Jays dismantled the McDaniel Green Terror with a 3-0 sweep of the match. The team then travelled to Messiah College for the Messiah College Invitational where the Blue Jays finished in fifth place with a 1-2 record in the tournament.
There is an age-old saying that asking a Dodger fan if he'd like the Angels or Giants to win the World Series is analogous to asking a condemned man if he'd like a firing squad or the electric chair. As a transplanted New Yorker residing in Los Angeles, I could not be happier. Well, I'd be happier if the Mets won the World Series, but I gave up that dream midway through the season. Over the past few years, I've developed a hatred of the "successful" Los Angeles teams, mainly the Lakers and Dodgers, and developed an affinity for the "underdogs," the Clippers and the Angels. Now it seems as if the underdogs are making a name for themselves. I still cannot believe the Angels won the World Series.
After beginning Conference play with seven straight wins, the Johns Hopkins Volleyball team's record as well as their ego took a serious blow with two straight losses against Centennial opponents Gettysburg and Franklin & Marshall.

Every year, millions of college freshmen learn about the phenomenon of the "freshman 15." Caused by an overindulgence in sweets, unlimited cafeteria food and the consumption of alcohol, the freshman 15 is the 15 or so extra pounds many students gain during their first year at college. In order to combat this fatty trend, there are a number of measures Hopkins students take to win the battle of the bulge.
I would have to say the most exciting moment in my pre-Hopkins post-high school time was finding out who my roommate was and where I was living. I thought my roommate would be my buddy, the guy that you joke around with before going to sleep and the one that helps you out with your homework. As it turns out my roommate was a near opposite of myself personality-wise, and we had no classes in common. His major was neuroscience, while I was studying history. We were bound to have a few conflicts but along the way we learned to manage each other.
If the Oscar race were to begin right now, the Scorpion King, an epic adventure starring WWF wrestler The Rock, would not be in the running. In fact, it will most likely earn a few Razzie nominations. The script is flawed in many places, the characters are one-dimensional and the acting is laughable. But I will still give this movie a favorable review. Why, you may ask? Because the action and sword play tops anything I have seen in theaters lately, and The Rock is just one bad mutha fucka. The Scorpion King is without a shout of a doubt a dumb movie, but the millions and millions of The Rock's fans really won't care.

I had the privilege of seeing one of Cal Ripken's last games this weekend at Yankee Stadium in New York. It was supposed to be Ripken's second to last game, but due to the terrorists attacks, the importance and nature of the game was altered.

If all the things that this school lacks, nothing is more profound than our lack of school spirit. It is why the dregs of school society spend all of their non-studying time bitching and moaning on the DailyJolt.
