Getting “Sexiled” By Your Roommate

Getting “Sexiled” By Your Roommate

One day during her freshman year, Yesenia Arellano walked into her dorm room to find her roommate with a guy, just about to have sex.

“He was lying on the bed and she was doing something with her shirt, taking it off or something. I told her, ‘Let me know when you’re done,’ and left,” said Arellano, a second-year biochemistry student.

But this wasn’t anything new for her. In fact, she regularly became a victim of “sexiling,” a casual term that describes kicking a roommate out of the room in order to hook up. [The Daily Bruin]

Rowling Charges Grads to Accept Failure, Cultivate Imagination

Havard Law to Help Legalize Weed

When most people get caught smoking bud (marijuana) they usually follow a set step procedure:

1. They get angry because the cops just took away their weed.
2. They’re angrier because they realize that they’re going to have to pay a huge fine.
3. And they get even more angry because they can’t understand why smoking responsibly should be illegal.

Then they bite their lip, and pay the fines.

After getting busted with possession by an undercover police officer Richard Cusick and R. Keith Stroup followed the first three steps, but refused to lay down to the law. They have now turned to Harvard Law School professor, Charles R Nesson, for guidance. And they will make the argument that the outlawing of marijuana has no “rational basis.” [CollegeOTR]
