The State of Howard

Howard has evolved into a whole lot of disorder and a whole lot of potential wrapped up in a giant tangle, and it’s hard to sort the good from the bad. Howard has always had administration problems and money problems, but never to the extent that they have reached now…

New Year New Reputation

I always knew that your reputation is important. But it wasn’t until yesterday that I realized how much it is important to me. I was having a really good conversation yesterday with a guy ( I will call him. Mr. Potential), and he was telling me about how he had been interested in me for awhile. He told me how he went up to different guys who he knows have been around me at least a little bit, and was asking what kind of girl I am…

LUPUS in my Life

Lupus…This autoimmune disease causes the body’s own immune system to viciously attack itself, leaving its carrier susceptible to a wide variety of diseases and infections. The most beautiful people on Earth, African American women, have the highest risk of becoming affected by Lupus…

Excuse Me House Nigga

A house nigga, in these times, is an individual of the black Diaspora who values the establishment over black culture. For example, a house nigga carries an umbrella on a sunny day to prevent themselves from getting darker because American society says the lighter you are, the more socially acceptable you will be. A house nigga is so caught up in chasing equality that they overlook their own people’s potential supremacy…

The Black Party

Tonight I find myself at a house party counting off how many times the words “niggas,” and “bitches,” are used in the song that’s blasting in my ears. This “blackified” house party did not include the scantily clad women in bikinis, thongs, and rappers squirting Cristal on everyone not givin’ a damn – which I assumed would happen having watched too much BET. But it was close…

Power Rangers Take Over!!!

The Power Rangers took over the Mecca’s campus during Halloween this year. They took their costume roles seriously with cinematic fight performances in the Punchout and authentic posing all day. Also, I’ll be honest I didn’t attend the Haunted Hilltop this year, but from what I heard it was ‘ok’ so my intuition paid off. I DID however go to the Haunted Hilltop AFTER PARTY hosted by DJ Chubby Swagg – and it was POPPIN…

My Nightlife Experience

For the minority of students who do not know how to dance, this aspect of Howard campus life may seem very intimidating and upsetting. If you can’t dance, you’re not going to have fun at a party—unless you get drunk, but THAT’S another story. Some students may feel uncomfortable getting up close and personal with another person while grinding or don’t have experience. I know for myself it was a mixture of both…

Howard University Homecoming 2009: A Student’s Perspective (and a guide for the ill informed)

We pride ourselves in being the most talked about and entertaining college Homecoming in the world. With almost-A-list singers and celebrities crammed in every corner of The Yard as well as the united black bourgeoisie of America eyeing the week’s festivities with glaring attentiveness – its hard to not be a little excited about Homecoming…

Bisonpedia: The Booty Wall

Aka The Wall of Opportunity. This wall, located to the left side of the females-only dorm The Quad, is designed for underclassmen males and females to get better acquainted, so to speak. ALL HOWARD UNIVERSITY ALUMNI KNOW ABOUT THE BOOTY WALL! Ask your Uncle Tyrone the Q about it and he will tell you a story or two, followed by loud groans and pelvic thrusts.
