In a radical turn of events yesterday, it appears that the hip Brits/ teen-pop heartthrob hooligans we all know as One Direction have lost their most vital — and clearly most attractive — hooligan.
Ever since Snapchat’s “Campus Story” was introduced at UT, we’ve had access to an addicting stream of updates from classrooms, residence halls, parties and libraries.
These are the 10 Longhorns who are most likely to show up on Snapchat:
As soon as Halloween turns its back, Christmas strikes. Retailers replace the skeletons with wreaths and the orange and black banners with red and green ones. On the radio, “Jingle Bell Rock” and “White Christmas” play, while families roast marshmallows and drink skinny eggnog lattes. Somewhere, somehow, in this turning of the commercialized seasons, Thanksgiving is forgotten.
As if giving Evan Peters giant, meaty lobster claw hands wasn’t enough, the creator of FX-hit “American Horror Story” sent the show’s fans into panic mode when he announced that all four seasons were going to be, somehow, connected. Being a #TeamTate fangirl (He was just misunderstood, not a psychopath murderer rapist weirdo) with an encyclopedic knowledge of the show’s previous seasons, I decided to come up with a few conspiracy theories of my own.
Your grandma probably has a Facebook, tweeting about your day has become second nature, and your Instagram is probably a collection of your favorite memories selected especially for your closest 900 friends. With so much social media, you’d expect users to understand the do’s and don’ts of posting. But we all have those friends who use Twitter as a diary and Instagram like a mirror.
Alejandro González Iñárritu’s “Birdman” has been taking the indie-viewing world by storm with larger-than-life performances by a well-known cast and its insistence on being a (nearly) one-shot film. But does the film actually hold up to the majesty that people seem to be bestowing upon it?
The internet is a funny thing. We can communicate across countries and seas, sharing ideas, thoughts and, of course, pictures. Nowadays, with a quick pic you can turn an average Joe into a viral sensation. This was the case for UT's resident Albino Squirrel. In the generation of Beliebers and Directioners, why not add some Albino Squirrel-ers to the mix?
It's 7 a.m. and you've just woken up after having slept a delicious eight hours. You do your yoga, jump in the shower, make some eggs and whole wheat English muffins and then settle down before class with a hot cup of joe and The New York Times. You've read almost the entire paper before you realize that it's time to head to school. As you walk out of your apartment to your shiny, vintage Jaguar you realize that your car alarm is going off. Wait a minute, you don't have a car alarm ... you don't even have a car. That alarm going off is your alarm clock, you big dummy! You've pressed snooze six times and class starts in 10 minutes!

This week…
On Sunday Oct. 5, California became the first state to pass an affirmative consent law, which requires students on college campuses to get consent before sexual activity.

Currently, all of these jobs are available to UT students through Campus Job, an online startup that connects students to paid and part-time jobs available on campus.
