DTH at a Glance: Creepy Curfews

Happy almost-Halloween, guys! I feel like I can finally properly anticipate, so I'm about a month behind everyone else (except for my roommate, who has had spooky wall stickers up in our dorm room since the BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER). I'm late to the game for a number of reasons — my midterms aren't done yet, I really and truly despise being scared and my procrastination levels re: finding a costume are beginning to rival the herculean effort I put into not doing my astronomy labs before they're due.

Column: Women deserve better than this

DTH at a Glance: Unfair scare

I only truly hate three things in the world: cockroaches, Tom Brady and horror movies. I live on the sixth floor of my dorm and in the Southeast, so the first two are pretty much taken care of.
