Here’s Lookin’ at You Kid
In the cold winter months there is nothing better to cheer up a starving college student than a tall beer and a heaping platter of hot food. And while we all love Natty and takeout or an all-you-can-eat platter of wings from Dublin’s, sometimes we need to venture outside our comfortable Isla Vista bubble and into the real world of restaurant food and classy beer. For this week’s On the Menu, I did just that: traveled to a pub and two brewing companies in a couple of weekend excursions that left me full of good food and good feelings.

In I.V., we tend to move every year to escape the filth that we have created, likely losing the ridiculously high security deposits that we have to pay to the sadistic creatures known as property managers. We change classes every quarter, trading one lecture hall for another and feeling a fresh sting of guilt for not actually going to this particular place very often. And as Fall Quarter turns into Winter, we meet the rain and the cold head on, with some of the worst of it predicted to strike this week. It’s a far cry from the Brazilian paradise that I have recently lost, but for some reason I’m not feeling too bitter about it.
Staying Soft Makes Wild Nights Hard to Come By
This article is dedicated to guys out there who have suffered from Limp Dick Syndrome: a condition that does NOT result in crazy hot sex and is caused by nervousness, malfunction or excessive alcohol intake. To prove the universality of this anticlimactic (no pun intended) ailment, I collected stories from girls who’ve witnessed the phenomenon firsthand. As it turns out, boys, you’re not alone.
