Well, here we are. The last edition of Whim this semester. That means the last "Top 10" of the semester, staff farewells, and the final freak pics. Oh, how time does fly. I hope you enjoy the final edition of Whim, and have a safe and fruitful summer. Enjoy!

A "Short Story" of a chain message, a pretty girl and a whole night can be wasted by a few little words. Words that somehow became more important than all my homework, deadlines and plans, and in the end taught me a very fun lesson in immaturity.

Graphic By: Jonelle Thackston Viewpoint   Jonelle Thackston | Graphics Manager A New York state park in the heart of the Catskill Mountains, North Lake, is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Thousands of years ago a glacier came down through the mountains and stopped in a valley, where it formed two adjacent lakes: North and South. The famous Hudson House, a grand hotel that presidents visited was built a half-mile from these lakes. Eventually the Hudson House burned down, but from where it stood you can see seven states on a clear day. With hiking, swimming, fishing, camping and activities for the kids, North Lake is a dream vacation for any family.
