The National Football League's (NFL) annual draft takes place during the last weekend in April, and for many, it is the first dose of football they've had since Eli Manning's incredible performance in Super Bowl XLII. Many think that watching NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell walk up to a podium and monotonically announce draft picks is about as exciting as watching paint dry. For a handful of people, however, the NFL draft provides one of the most exciting experiences of the entire football season.
On March 28 Seton Hill University (SHU) student Jeremy Spisak was jailed after allegedly taking a Greensburg police officer's Taser gun and using the weapon on her.
"I've spoken to Jeremy a few times and he always seemed like a nice person," said Daryle Gracey, a junior. "However, you never can tell these things."

Many of the spoof movies that have been made in the last few years have not been as great as they were cracked up to be. Movies like Epic Movie, Scary Movie, Walk Hard, and Not Another Teen Movie; were all supposed to be big hits that never reached their intended target. However, a new spoof movie is in theatres and actually provides some big laughs.
Superhero Movie, which pokes fun at Batman Begins, Fantastic Four, and most notably, Spider-Man, is successful because of the fast-hitting nature and delivery of jokes.

For the past four years, I have often wondered why the university allows the front porch on the second floor of Maura Hall to remain somewhat unkempt. This porch is commonly referred to as the `smoker's porch’ because it is the main gathering place for smoker's on campus when they are between classes or taking a break from homework.
The furniture, despite the recent paint job, is old, dirty, and broken down. In fact, when meeting on the porch for class this week, my professor almost fell from attempting to sit on a chair that was, in fact, broken. The ashtrays are overflowing, and the ground of the porch is covered in cigarette butts.

If you need a vacation to the beach, you do not have to go far. Bahama Breeze, a Caribbean inspired restaurant, is located just outside of Pittsburgh and minutes from the Pittsburgh International Airport.
The day I went the weather was cold and miserable, but as soon as I got out of my vehicle, the smells and sights did a 360. Outside, a gazebo is attached to the restaurant and covers a fire pit that so patrons can sit and enjoy the atmosphere while waiting for a table. When inside, they escape to a beach party with steel band drum music.

During last J-term, Allie Cheppa, a senior, went to Mexico with several other Seton Hill University (SHU) students. She said the trip was a good learning experience, but she regrets not having more free time after classes and group excursions.
`We had so much work that we didn't have much time to enjoy the culture,’ said Cheppa. `But it was a good experience. Negative or positive, you learn from it any way. I would never go back, but I'm glad I went.’
