As the year draws to a close, your WEEKEND stalwarts have grown sentimental. Sure, we’ll be glad to be done with the 60 pages worth of final papers our mildly sadistic (okay, majorly sadistic) professors assigned us. We certainly won’t miss that god-awful 9 a.m. seminar with that kid who wouldn’t shut up. And I »

After two weeks of too-much pizza and too-long nights in a hot boardroom, antecedent to the 30-hour-long saga of YDN elections (read: YaleDailyWaterworks), we emerge to you: your four servants in the duty of WEEKEND, your quartet of mischief, your foremen in the factory of Arts and Living at Yale. We come to you fresh »

With midterms coming up (kid not: we missed them), WEEKEND has been thinking about thinking. On the brain we’ve had the minds that define the heights of savantry and the depths of delirium. What began as a fanciful flight into the foibles of the genius mind soon ended in unabashed revelry of sex and morbid »

Cards on the table: a lot of what we’ve said in these little communiques hasn’t made any sense. Which isn’t to say that we lied or didn’t mean what we said or in any way ever took this space for granted. We’ve always used it on some special occasion (and, alright, occasionally when content fell »

With the opening of the new Apple Store on Broadway, WEEKEND has been thinking about technology, and technology makes us think of: THE FUTURE. What will the Elm City look like in 100 years? Maybe it will be the Elmtronic City. Who knows? A technophilic cadre of WEEKEND seers investigates. The amazing disappearing Lynwood Pl. »

Berkeley In addition to being the love of every doe-eyed freshman psychology major, Berkeley College Master Marvin Chun gets to enjoy some pretty sweet digs. The Berkeley Master’s House, like the rest of the college, is located right in the middle of campus — who could ask for more during the rainiest week of the »

We don’t want to talk about Irene. With the notable exception of those poor folks on Lynwood, it’s pretty much old news. Some branches fell, and there were leaves everywhere, and some windows leaked, and everyone wound up with enough Cheez-Its and bottled water to last until the nuclear holocaust or 2012 or whatever it »

Happy move-in day

A Spring Fling retrospective

Forgetful second-time meeters. Passive aggressive texters. Incompetent waiters, everywhere. It’s too early for shorts; what are you doing? In these trying times, our focus shouldn’t be on the right answers but the right questions. And today, the right question is, Do you Believe in People? Several months ago, WEEKEND picked up a signal, an alien »

Rejoice WKNDers! Gaypril is here, and with it, a bevy of lgBT Co-op-sponsored events from a queer hike up East Rock to a lesbian erotica reading. So in the spirit of Pride Month 2011, WEEKEND decided to investigate some of our favorite gay bars (and bars with “gay nights”) — places to visit after the »

Monty the therapy dog is great for all of those future Darrows and Bader Ginsburgs over at the Law School, but where’s the relief for the rest of us? When will be released from the pandemonium of papers and preprofessionalism? Fret no more! WEEKEND’s crack team of stress experts have devised a comprehensive plan for »
