I have an embarrassing confession to make. Or, rather, a few. First, I always wanted to publish a book. I "wrote" one when I was 10; unfortunately, it got lost on a very old green floppy disk before it could ever reach mass publication.

As we approach the end of this mercilessly busy (for me) semester, I have realized my own mortality as a college student. I don't mean to worry any seniors who are dreading May 17, but I figured it was time to make a bucket list (things to do before I graduate).

The queen leaf-cutter ant Atta Texana is a very special find. She sees daylight only once a year, counts herself among the largest ants in the animal kingdom and, when lightly toasted, has a sweet and nutty flavor with a crisp, bacon-like texture. David Gracer orders them by the pound and eats them by the dozen.

"Why do some people hate Celine Dion and others love her?" Believe it or not, this deceptively simple question is the basis of an entire book, one that so successfully tapped into contemporary culture that Smith invited its author to host a roundtable event this week.

With spring registration coming up, I thought I would pass on some advice I have acquired during my time at Smith. Confused about all those different class numbers, sections and department abbreviations? Don't be. Screw distribution requirements. When you get down to it, any college really only offers five different types of classes.

It's a sunny, Saturday afternoon in Holyoke, Mass., and in the middle of Heritage State Park, a merry-go-round spins, its lights twinkling despite the daylight. Parents sit donning birthday caps, giving never-ending dispensers of crinkled dollar bills to children entranced by the bright lights and painted horses that swirl underneath the cover of the shaded pavilion.
