APRIL'S UP IN HURRRR
Well, April is.April. I could break out the clichs and tell you how April showers bring May flowers, BUT lets be honest: Screw flowers. May brings the end of the semester and Im pretty sure everyones wayyyy more excited about that than the prospect of some shitty carnations. It also seems that not much is going on besides Easter, and Im not going to spout religion at you (Do I LOOK like Joel Osteen?! *shudder*), so instead Im just going to regale you with the delightful content we t exper Me and my bro--the man cave urne Melbo of s have in this issue. Because Im a damn street on the mean good regaler. First of all, Im beyond excited to go Martha Stewart on your asses this month and offer you tips, tricks and most of allAWESOME accessories for your apartment and dreamy dcor for your dorm. Weve got the sickest stuff we could find (via Google, naturally) to make your pad, like, totally rad, whatever your personality. AND THATS NOT ALL. Weve also compiled a couple of pages to help you kick colleges ass via scoring free stuff, pranking your roommate (theyll NEVER suspect it post-April 1st), dominating the dating scene from your dorm room and more. Weve also got a quiz for all you bros to determine exactly how macho your man cave is. (Hint: If The Notebook, doilies or Marilyn Monroe posters make an appearance, your outlook isnt good.) PLUS enjoy some 90s toy flashbacks, Hot or Notdorm edition, and more riveting, intellectual and profound content thats sure to have you clamoring for more. CLAMORING.

Most embarrassing moment: I was waltzing with a girl at my 8th grade dance, and given the excitement of the moment I could not contain my flatulence. Spirit animal: A white-tailed deer because they can jump 9 feet high, run 40 mph, get hit by cars often and eat a lot of potatoes Favorite curse word: Id choose f-ck, simply for its versatility.
Breaking Bad or The Walking Dead? Breaking Bad Best decision youve made in your life: Deciding that private school was no good, mainly because they wouldnt let me read Harry Potter for some BS reason related to witchcraft and the devil

Gabrielle Inhofe Keaton Dodd
Before I went on this date, I was a little anxious. Id never met my date before, but from his picture and profile, I thought he was interesting and was expecting an engaging time. When I got to the restaurant and saw him, I immediately thought he was sweet. We ordered pesto pizza to eat. The conversation was riveting and we talked about travel and freshman life. At the end of the date we said wed see each other around Jester dorm and I thought it was nice to meet a new person. I think he is a great conversationalist and we are going to be friends. All in all, the date was a great time.
Before I went on this date, I was a little timorous. Id never met my date before, but from her picture and profile, I thought she was resplendent and was expecting a merry time. When I got to the restaurant and saw her, I immediately thought she was celestial. We ordered basil pesto & goat cheese artichoke pizza to eat. The conversation was stimulating, and we talked about traditional papacy, European linguistics and travel, and higher-education system reform. At the end of the date we said adieu, and I thought, c'est une bonne nuit. I think she is splendid and we are going to be chums. All in all, the date was splendid.

Theres a lot of advice that people give you about college that everybody should follow butttt nobody does. Like to do your assigned reading (and not cram the night before the test), get plenty of sleep (as youre eating queso at 3 a.m.), use protection (honey, Im sorry, you have the Herp) and dont drink too much (SORRY CANT HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF MY BEER BONGING). Thats why were bypassing the boring to bring you important info about the things you really care about. Now go forth and prosper--you can thank us later.

Frozen Grilled Chicken, $6 Pre-grilled chicken breasts wont go bad, and the hard part (actually cooking them) is done alreadyyou just have to get your re-heat on. Make a whole meal out of the chicken, slap it on a sandwich or add it to your pasta or salad for a little protein. The possibilities are endless! Eggs, $3 A dozen eggs are a grocery stores gift to the college student. Although known for breakfast, dont underestimate the egg as a lunch or dinner item. Make some rockin omelettes or egg sandwiches by adding spinach and tomato for a meal thats amazing any time of day. Hard-boiled eggs also make great snacks, and who can deny the badass-ness of the breakfast taco? Bread, $3 Absolutely necessary. Sandwiches are an amazing grab-and-go

INTERIOR DESIGN STUDENT ERICA MUOZ INVITES US INTO HER SWEET SPACE
What was your inspiration for decorating your room? I wanted to keep everything in my room really light and airy, but I really tried to center everything around my desk and dresser. They were made in the 50s and given to my mother by my great grandfather. Theyre really well crafted and beautiful pieces. Where is your favorite place to shop when buying stuff for your room? Theres a shop downtown Uvalde that I love to go to when Im home called Vintage Market that is literally filled floor to ceiling with crazy awesome antiques and trinkets. Other than a few things here and there, most of the items in my room are gifts, art my boyfriend or myself have made and old stuff from my parents house. Is your room the place magic happens? If by magic you mean all my socks magically disappearing when I need them....then yes! What is the craziest thing that has happened in your room? Other than that break dance fighting contest and monkey knife fights, nothing really comes to mind. 5 RULES FOR DECORATING FROM THE DESIGNER HERSELF 1. Try to recreate as much as you can. 2. Save money! 3. Let people know what you collect, and youd be surprised by the cool stuff you end up with just because someone saw
32 | APRIL 2013 | STUDYBREAKS.COM
something somewhere and remembered you collected them. 4. Get a Pinterest. 5. Dont overdo it. Sometimes I add a little too much to my room and end up taking it down the 1 next day. Youll know Age: 2 r jo Ma : gn when your room is r Desi complete; dont try to Interio own: t add more. Home e a Uv ld DECORATE ON A DIME Get creative! If I find a print or piece of art that I like, instead of spending a ridiculous amount of money, I usually just make my own versions of them. Its cheaper and way more fun. DCOR DOS AND DONTS DO whatever you want. Its your room! Thats the best advice I can give. DONT make your space unlivable. I hate when you go into a room and youre afraid to touch anything or sit anywhere. Make your room a space for you and a place your friends will feel comfortable in too. You want to be able to feel comfortable, not like youre in a museum.

There are times in every mans life when he needs to get away...from work, schooland especially women. But where to go when the time to evacuate arises? The answer is simple: THE MAN CAVE. Not to be mistaken with the bat cave, this tavern of testosterone is simply where manly men do manly things. Many righteous dudes out there claim to be owners of a haven for the hairy-chested, but are their spots the real deal? Heres a quiz to see how macho YOUR penis-only party really is. Wait.what? 1. What is hanging on the walls?

Answers:
Mostly As:
Your man cave is possibly the unmanliest place of all time. On a serious note, check your pants because you might have a mangina. It sounds likes someone tossed an estrogen grenade in there and definitely pulled the pin. Your man card has officially been revokedgo watch The Notebook and cry or something.
Mostly Bs:
Congratulations, you are the proud owner of a child cave. Seriously, I bet your mom still takes the crust off your PB&Js and cuts that shit diagonally. The good news is youre not a lost causeyet. Go grow some pubes and fast-forward your life 10 years, and youll be fine.
Mostly Cs:
Your humble abode isnt manly yet, but at least your balls have dropped. You have a bright future in the man cave world, so dont let anybody tell you different. Get a pen and paper and start taking notes, chief, because with some hard work and dedication you will one day be the proud owner of a real man cave.
Mostly Ds:
You, my friend, have one macho spot, and somewhere Randy Savage is shedding tears of joy. You can tell from your cave that you like sports, naked women and shit. It doesnt get any manlier than that. Pat yourself on the back, slugger, because you have the sanctuary of all sanctuaries. YOU have a MAN CAVE. STUDYBREAKS.COM | APRIL 2013

41 ER TT U S O: OT for PH

If Them Swoops ever break up, Chris plans on going to K-Pop Academy in Seoul and becoming a Korean
14. Dave drives a 1976 bright orange Volvo station wagon. Her name is Inga. 15. Chris once auditioned for a role in Lord of the Rings only to be told the film was already made and he was at the post office.

How to Live With Your Parents (For the Rest of Your Life)
Season premiere: Apr. 3rd
Oblivion
Released: April 19 Speaking of Sci-Fi, futuristic, end-of-theworld type stuff, Oblivion is the hot new movie in theaters this month. Tom Cruise is cleaning up what is left of planet Earth, when he stumbles upon some secrets that were not meant to be discovered. (Dun dun dun!) Naturally, this unleashes an actionpacked whirlwind of chaos and drama that we cant wait to get caught in!
When you reach a certain age, lets face it: Moving back in with your parents becomes a tad taboo. And when Pollys lack of cash forces her back under her parents roof, problems quickly escalate as her parents sexually adventurous attitudes conflict with her conservative personality.

Age: 18 Height: 57 School: University of Texas Major: Biology, Pre-Med Relationship Status: Taken One thing that impresses you when youre out on a date? Im big on originality. If its not the dumb dinner/movie and back to your place routine Ill be more impressed. When I can tell theres been effort put in Im automatically more interested. Whats the creepiest move a guy has ever tried to pull on you? This guy once cornered me in front of all of my friends to tell me that if I was his girl Id have the best pot in the world before asking to take me out to the Macaroni Grill. Creepy and completely bizarre. What are your plans after Graduation? Med school and eventually opening a free clinic as an OBGYN. All-time favorite TFM or TSM? My degree is not a back-up-plan. Its a passion. I went to college to learn how to save lives, not bake pies. I already knew how to do that. TSM.

Your football game day routine involves just going to the games. You are content with your long distance relationship. You remember everything youve done every night this semester. Youve never told a pledge what to do and watched him do it, while laughing, with a beer in hand. Youve checked in with your mom to let her know you are doing okay at least once a day. Youve never compared your BAC to your GPA. You opt for dorm living over a house or apartment. You consider your R.A. a dear friend. Your Spring Break plans dont include a beach in a warm weather region. You attend every class during syllabus week.
