More than Swedish pancakes, ABBA or those giant fair isle ski sweaters, Sweden has given us one glorious gift: Ikea.

Ego of the week

What year are you and what's your major? I'm a senior, and I'm an urban studies major. Where are you from? I'm from Brooklyn. Trick or Treat? Treat! What was your best Halloween costume? When I was seven, I dressed up as a candy cane.

Thrift or treat

The culturally observant and 'oh so wise' film Mean Girls told us all that "Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it." But this fall, rather than dressing up like those dime a dozen dime-store whores again you can do something creative and be a thrift-store hoarder.

I had a Blackberry long before they became socially acceptable. Back in '03, I was forced into adopting the burgeoning technology.

A very special "Ask Louise"

Technology is supposed to solve problems, but its definition needs to be instigator of problems. The self-checkout line in the grocery store saves time, but not when the barcode fails to scan.

Fancy a doppelgang?

A doppelganger, your eerie likeness, body double or evil twin, can show up anywhere: in New Jersey, on Locust Walk, in another social scene, in another realm, during time travel.... They can bring news of impending catastrophe, or even foreshadow your death!

Metafiction

Call me Ishmael. Never mind. This is my book. Call me Isabel. And call this article my first novel. In my Intro to Comparative Literature class (a requirement I'd neglected until this penultimate semester) three enthusiastic students -- all freshmen -- ardently flailed spread palms in the air in response to the professor's inquiry as to who among us had written a book.

Vera's wang

This summer I had the good fortune of landing an internship that I actually enjoyed. Working in public relations and licensing for Vera Wang not only exposed me to several facets of fashion design and marketing, but the perks have also followed up -- most recently, allowing me to attend the show in New York this past week.
