The Scoop: And What A Week It was...
Greetings my lovely readers!
First let me say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who read and commented, it brings me endless joy. And a special thanks to those of you who did so without my peer pressure.
As I write this, I'm sitting here roasting in my room because my air conditioner is pumping out heat for some reason, and waiting, along with the rest of America, for the season premiere of Grey's Anatomy...…

Hey everyone!
Welcome to my blog! This is my first venture into such a thing, so bear with me. I'm Colleen, I'm a senior C/J major, and I watch way more television than I really should.

Stuck in the Middle: Don't Taser Freedom Of Speech, Bro
I was pretty disgusted this past week when I heard about what happened at the University of Florida. Thanks to youtube, most of you are probably aware of what I am talking about. If not, here is a brief summary: John Kerry was doing a question and answer session at the University when student Andrew Meyer approached the microphone and started ranting.
