Bring your own cup for a super-sized Slurpee at 7-Eleven this Saturday

On Saturday April 11, 7-Elevens across the country are participating in Bring-Your-Own-Cup (BYOC) Day — allowing you to bring the container of your choice and fill it up with as much Slurpee as will fit, for the small price of $1.49.

The deal will be available at participating locations from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

“We’re not really sure what to expect,” said Stacey A., employee of the 7-Eleven on 13th and Alder — one of the many Eugene locations participating in tomorrow’s event. “But we hope it will be a big hit.”

Several other Eugene locations are participating as well, including the 7-Eleven at 590 E. Broadway, the one at 588 W. 7th Ave, the one at 951 W. 6th St. and at 445 Coburg Rd. Find the one nearest you using 7-Eleven’s online store locator.

“This is the first time BYO Cup Day has been held in the United States, although 7-Eleven stores in Australia, Canada, the Philippines and Malaysia have held BYO Cup Days in the past,” said 7-Eleven in its press release.

From fishbowls to coconuts to teapots, the possibilities are nearly endless as far as what kind of “cup” you can bring to BYOC Day — as long as it meets these four requirements:

The Rules:

1. Your cup must fit through a 10-inch hole.

2. Your cup must be clean and food-safe.

3. Your cup must be watertight, with no leaks or holes.

4. One cup per person.

Social media exploded with the hashtag #BYOCupDay on Facebook and Twitter.

7-Eleven is encouraging participants to post photos of their own cup to their social media using this hashtag:

They also have a Snapchat set up (REALLYSLURPEE) to send out updates before and during the event:

Hilarity for Charity raises money for Alzheimer’s Association through stand-up comedy and “douchey mirror pics”

All Comedy 1450 will host a stand-up comedy show Tuesday at 8 p.m. with the UO Stand-Up Society in the Global Scholars Hall Great Room — room 123. Absolute Improv will also make an appearance. All proceeds will go to the Alzheimer’s Association.

This Hilarity for Charity (HFC) event is part of a national series of charitable events created in 2014 by actor and comedian Seth Rogen, as well as four other comedians and activists. The series provides an opportunity for college students to inspire change and create awareness for the fight against Alzheimer’s disease. This is the second year that Hilarity for Charity has been hosted at the University of Oregon.

To attend, you may donate to the cause directly through their CrowdRise website, and your name will be put on a list that will allow you entrance on the night of the event. Tickets will also be sold at the door for $5.

During the show, prizes will be given away for the “Douchey Mirror Pic” contest, including a grand award of $100. You can enter the competition by posting your most obnoxious mirror selfie to Facebook with a link to the charity’s website listed above and nominations for three to five of your friends to do the same thing. The winners will be determined by the most Facebook likes, as well as votes on the night of the show.

UO Stand-Up Society is the UO’s hilarious stand-up comedy group. They host regular performances on and off-campus, including an open mic night, which invited members and non-members to perform, and was often held at the Buzz Café before it closed down.

All Comedy 1450 is Eugene and Springfield’s comedy radio show — a part of the national comedy radio platform All Comedy Radio. In addition to radio shows, they also do live performances at venues throughout Springfield and Eugene.

Here are some facts about Alzheimer’s Disease, according to the Alzheimer’s Association:

  • Every 67 seconds, someone in the U.S. develops the disease.
  • It’s the only cause of death in the top 10 that cannot be prevented, cured or slowed.
  • Almost two-thirds of Americans with Alzheimer’s are women.
  • One in three senior citizens die with Alzheimer’s or another type of dementia.
  • Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S.
  • Only 45 percent of people with Alzheimer’s disease or their caregivers report being told of their diagnosis.
  • In 2015, Alzheimer’s and other dementias will cost the nation $226 billion. By 2050, these costs could rise as high as $1.1 trillion.

These UO alumni remind us that success isn’t dictated by GPA

The term is finally over. But for some, the stress continues, or worsens, as we wait for what seems like an eternity for judgment day — the day our term grades, our future and our worth is decided for us.

As we count down these last few days before grades are released, let’s remind ourselves that spring break is here. Our precious moment of rest before we are hurled back into the ring should not be wasted.

So for a little well-deserved encouragement, here’s a reminder that your GPA doesn’t have to dictate your success. These University of Oregon alumni went down in history for doing great things and creating positive changes. They were mavericks, regardless of whether or not they passed economics.

Ken Kesey — Most famous for his novel “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” Kesey graduated from the U of O in 1957 with a bachelor’s degree in Journalism. While here, he was a star on the wrestling team, contributing to what was then its four most successful years.

Colin Meloy — Most people know him as the lead guitarist of the band The Decemberists. What most people don’t know is he attended the U of O for two years in the mid ’90s, before returning to his home state of Montana to earn his degree in creative writing.

Ann Curry — She’s famous for her anchor roles on the Today Show and Dateline NBC. Graduating in 1978 with a bachelor’s degree in Journalism, Curry is one of Allen Hall’s most accomplished alumni.

Tom McCall — One of seven governors of Oregon to attend the UO, as well as a reporter for KGW and the Oregonian, McCall graduated in 1936.

Pam Coats — Best known for producing the Disney film Mulan, Coats received her master’s degree in directing from the UO, before moving to Los Angeles to find success.

A few additional UO alumni worth mentioning include Ty Burrell, actor in Modern Family; Harry Glickman, founder and president emeritus of Portland Trail Blazers; Dan Wieden; co-founder of international advertising agency Wieden+Kennedy; Bill Bowerman; co-founder of Nike; and Parisse Boothe, actor in Deadwood. But there are many more where they came from.

These alumni have gone on to do many great things, from winning Nobel Prizes to helping make key decisions as representatives in our national government.

But whatever their success, they did it through hard work and perseverance — that, fortunately for some of us, doesn’t come from a transcript.

Sometimes C’s are enough. Especially when it’s because we’re so busy doing the extracurricular activities that we know will later lead us to success.

The EMU bucket list: Get your Buzz beers, stand-up comedy and orange chicken

If someone told you in 2014 that Buzz beers will be gone in 2015, would you have believed them? Most Ducks wouldn’t have.

It has been hard to accept the fact that the Erb Memorial Union as we know it will be gone forever. But this week, the loss we’ve all been dreading is upon us: the renovation is officially taking the last of what we love about our precious EMU, the blood that keeps the heart of this campus beating — the EMU food services.

But don’t cry just yet. You still have a couple of weeks to cross some items off your EMU bucket list. Don’t have one? Use ours:

1. Play with other competitive nerds at Buzz trivia night

Grab your friends, get buzzed with beer, cider or wine and show off your knowledge of random things from film to geography at the Buzz’s last trivia night — Wednesday, March 11, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Teams of up to five will compete for prizes and bragging rights.

2. Buy a giant bowl of orange chicken from Panda Express

This is the last week to take full advantage of your youthful metabolism by gorging on Panda Express’ “gourmet Chinese cuisine.” If you want to go all out, make a day of it and get one thing from every EMU restaurant — the Fishbowl, Subway and Bite of Mexico will also be leaving us this month.

3. Get your waffle fix at the Buzz

Waffle Wednesday is one of the Buzz’s lesser known perks, and this is your last chance to participate. If you buy a waffle, you get coffee for free. Mad you’re only just finding out about this? So are we.

4. Go see the side-splitting student comedians of UO Stand-Up Society for their final comedy show hosted at the Buzz

Don’t freak — UO Stand-Up Society will still be around, just not at the Buzz. They’re currently searching for a new place to perform, but, of course, it just won’t be the same without the $3 beers and doughnuts. Their last performance is on Thursday, March 12th from 7-9 p.m. and is free and open to all students.

5. Attend the going away parties at the Buzz, Union Market and the Fishbowl Cafe

On their last day open, our favorite places to waste money in the EMU will be hosting farewell parties. Take advantage of your very last chance to buy Buzz beers and Union Market junk food on Friday, March 13, from 4-7 p.m., and enjoy your last bite of Fishbowl Cafe’s pizza the following Friday, March 20.

Your guide to flying solo on Valentine’s Day

So, you’re single and Valentine’s Day is in two days. Don’t act like you forgot.

Don’t act like you aren’t just a little excited for the ultimate excuse to consume a whole box of chocolates and have a bottle of wine to yourself. You can binge on corny rom-coms in the company of the only one who gets you: your cat. This is your night.

Or maybe you decide you aren’t going to be alone this year because you’re hot and the ten Tinder matches you’ve gotten this week prove it. Maybe you’ll actually reply to their messages. Maybe you’ll even shave! I mean you’re only young once, right?

Yeah, yeah, Valentine’s Day sucks. It was invented by greedy, evil greeting card companies to exploit your emotions, blah, blah, blah — don’t be that guy.

You’re single. So what? Most of us are, and that’s just fine.
So to all the single ladies and fellas out there: This one’s for you. Happy Valentine’s Day. You do you.

Food: 

Go out:
Falling Sky Pour House & Deli:
If you’re feeling indulgent and exploratory put on your “I don’t care that I’m alone on a couple’s holiday” face and hit up the Falling Sky Deli in the Whit.
Plates are around $15, which might seem a bit on the high end if you were splitting, but tonight’s all about you, baby.
Since you’re there, try something new — like a duck pastrami sandwich or an “everything salad” with mushrooms, chicken salad, egg salad and Israeli couscous all in one bowl.
The true glory of this place is the norse-dining hall meets classic-sports-diner vibe, the long-table meets bar interior that is conducive to conversations with other patrons, and the friendly waiting staff. With a bit of time, your fare share of drinks and ice-breakers you’ll probably even forget you showed up alone — until it’s time to leave, that is.
If you’ve still got room for self indulgence after all of that beer and burger — or maybe the stars aligned and you hit it off with another loner at the bar — Sweet Life Patisserie is just across the street (beware the couples).

Double Down Nachos
Go to 7/11
Get the nachos, but save the packaged tortilla chips for later.
Fill the entire nacho tray with liquid cheese, roughly eight ounces.
Buy a package of nacho cheese-flavored Bugles.
Immediately open Bugles and dip into the cheese for a double cheese sensation.
Wipe excess nacho cheese on pants.

Stay In:

The Red Velvet Whine and Dine:

If you’re without Valentine’s plans, but would still like to acknowledge that the holiday exists and that there was once a time when you were not dead inside, here is a festive recipe that requires minimal effort on your part.

You’ll need a bottle of dessert wine, a box of red velvet cake mix, any extra ingredients it calls for, 1/2 cup of applesauce, cooking spray, your choice of frosting and a Crockpot to cook it in.

First, spray the inside of the pot with cooking spray. After beating all the ingredients together in a separate bowl for one minute, pour into the Crockpot and cover. Cook on high for 1.5 to two hours, or until done. While waiting, drink the whole bottle of wine and wonder what you’re doing with your life.

Let it cool and spread the frosting in an even layer over the top of the cake. Grab a spoon and eat the entire cake in one sitting straight out of the pot. Feel ashamed, but slightly impressed with yourself.

Beef and Ramen Noodles:
Crack ramen and place into boiling water. You know what you’re doing.
A popular Japanese noodle dish includes slices of flank steak in ramen. You can easily substitute with a slice of honey ham from the Safeway deli. It’s virtually the same thing.

Peanut Butter-Brown Sugar Sandwich
Spread peanut butter on both slices of bread.
Spoon brown sugar onto one piece of bread.
Combine slices of bread together.
You might be an animal who has not matured since the sixth grade. But it’s still delicious.

Stuff to do –
Go Out:

Sir Mix-a-Lot
It’s Valentine’s Day weekend, and if nothing else can distract you from a sense of loneliness and overwhelming despair that follows you around, you might as well be dead. Alternatively, you can let Sir Mix-a-Lot help.
The Grammy-winning emcee and producer, straight out of Seattle, is making a stop at Eugene’s Cozmic Pizza this week, and is bound to tear the place apart with “Baby Got Back,” one of the quintessential hip-hop songs and cultural touchstones of the early ’90s.
Sir Mix-a-Lot’s modern revival is partially due to Nicki Minaj’s 2014 hit “Anaconda,” in which “Baby Got Back” serves as the tune’s bedrock. “Baby Got Back” came out 23 years ago, but Sir Mix-A-Lot’s tush fixation cannot be shackled by the restrictions of time. And as long as butts are in vogue, we will always hear that iconic intro, “Oh. My. God. Becky…”
Don’t think about relationships this Valentine’s Day weekend. Put everything else out of your mind. Just think about butts.
Sir Mix-a-Lot will be performing at 9:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 12 at Cozmic Pizza (199 W. 8th St.). Tickets cost $23 at the door, $21 in advance.

Stay In:
10 dolla bottle make you holla:
It’s Saturday, and it’s Valentine ’s Day, all the parties for tonight are “couples” themed, which means you’re not going.
In the same sad twist of fate, your roommate is also single — looks like you have pity plans now.
Decide on getting cheap wine and pizza and watching a movie.
Realize you both only have $10 combined, and can’t buy both wine and pizza.
Weigh the pros and cons and realize the wine is really more important for this occasion.
After a few glasses, the feels come on and every past relationship that went wrong comes into question — appropriate if you’ve decided it’s a night for girl talk and introspection. Otherwise, maybe just get the pizza.

Listen to some Doom Metal: 

What better music to listen to on a lonely Valentine’s Day in Eugene than doom metal? Here are some song suggestions and how they’ll fit into your Valentine’s Day:

Aldebaran – “Tower Of Famine” and Thou – “Fucking Chained To The Bottom Of The Ocean”

Buy a bottle of cheap wine and return homeYour roommate bursts through the door, giggling in rapturous contentment, love-interest clinging on like a parasite. They disappear into the bedroom. Nothing can drown out the moaning. What to do? You crank your music up. Loud.

Orange Goblin – “Getting High On The Bad Times” and Sleep – “Dragonaut”

The wine is three-quarters gone and your subwoofers are working their asses off. At this point you’re just trying to piss your roommate off. Thank God for doom metal, you think, imagining the happy couple in the other room trying to get it on with the sounds of depressing, down-tuned guitars reverberating through the wall. You smirk with satisfaction, lay down and finish the wine.

Agalloch – “Sowilo Rune” and Ahab – “Deliverance”

Your roommate finishes and sits down beside you. You’re happy to just have someone to talk to. Except your roommate, who isn’t exactly a huge fan of doom metal, puts on the Smiths. You curl into a ball and sob. This holiday is stupid. Everything is patently stupid.

2014 in Review: 14 moments that made me proud to be a Duck this year

This past year was one full of change. There were plenty of setbacks and plenty more accomplishments. Undoubtedly, it was an important year for the University of Oregon and its community.

Here are 14 moments that made me proud to be a Duck in 2014, starting with the most recent.

1. When we went to the Rose Bowl (and ended up winning 59-20).

I guess that was technically in 2015, but it’s too good not to be number one.

2. When Marcus Mariota won the Heisman.

And made everyone cry during his acceptance speech.

3. When GTFF demanded better treatment, leading the longest strike in UO’s history, and didn’t back down until they got a contract they deserved.

A perfect example of how we Ducks will keep fighting until we get what we deserve.

4. When UO grad and former Emerald employee Will Cuddy starred in the movie Wild, alongside Reese Witherspoon.

Because Hollywood needed a little more yellow and green on the big screen.

5. When students joined hands and demanded change after the sexual assault incident, and gained national attention.

If you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us. This was one of my favorite moments.

6. When they let us graffiti and sledgehammer the heck out of the EMU before it was renovated.

Because we all needed to let off a little steam, and it made for some fantastic photos.

7. When a UO environmental law professor started the Environmental Trust Litigation and helped high school kids sue the government for treating their environment badly.

What would Oregon be without its environmental activists?

8. When UO student Andrew Lubash won the prestigious Truman scholarship — the first UO student to accept this honor in 22 years.

We’ve got more than just athletic superstars — we’ve got academic superstars as well.

9. When these UO athletes spent the day with local foster kids.

Another great example of how Ducks love to give back to the community.

10. When UO grads Samantha Stendal and Aaron Blanton won the Peabody Award for their viral video titled “Real men treat women with respect.”

Because what would Oregon be without feminism and viral Youtube videos?

11. When administration agreed to include a meditation room in the new EMU.

An example of how Oregon works hard to include all cultures and religions.

12. When Taylor’s hosted a music benefit to raise money for campus joke book seller Frog, who was hospitalized at the time.

Because UO just wouldn’t be the same without him.

13. When Oregon showed off its mad fundraising skills and announced the most ambitious fundraising campaign in the state’s history — at a whopping $2 billion.

Because at UO, the sky’s the limit.

 14. When the class of 2014 didn’t let the weather rain on their parade, even though it was actually pouring.

Because what would Oregon be without its inclement spring weather?

Portland: Spread holiday cheer by helping in the community

If you’re like me and have already done the family dinner and gift exchange, and don’t have much plans this Christmas, it’s a good opportunity to help out others. After all, not everyone is as fortunate as you to enjoy those things.

So take this opportunity to spread the real message of Christmas and volunteer or donate to some of these nonprofit projects in Portland.

Potluck in the Park — This Thursday, Potluck in the Park is organizing a big Christmas dinner for those who may not get one otherwise. They need lots of volunteers on the day of the event, as well as the day before for preparation. Volunteer duties vary and are organized into shifts. Find more information and sign up to volunteer at this link.

Shelter at Orenco Station — This winter shelter seeks to help homeless men, women and children during the coldest months of the year. This shelter is in need of volunteers to fulfill various duties during the holidays, including serving meals and spending time with the guests. Learn more about this volunteering opportunity and sign up at this link.

Unfortunately, this late into the holiday season, one-time volunteer opportunities are scarce. But that doesn’t mean you can’t still help out. There are still several things you can do to help the cause and brighten someone’s Christmas spirit.

No matter what cause you want to contribute to, there’s bound to be a project or nonprofit in desperate need of your donations. Toy drives, Oregon Food Bank, homeless shelters, you name it. They need your help, and most of the time you can find out what they need with a simple Google search. Here are a few in the area to look into.

Portland Rescue Mission — This “faith-based” organization strives to help provide food, shelter and other basic needs for homeless families in Portland. They are in need of money donations, as well as donations of essential warmth and hygiene items — such as blankets, socks, underwear, coats, razors, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap and shampoo. Check out this page for more information.

Oregon Food Bank — This organization provides food to Oregon families, particularly those in need of healthy, balanced meals due to health concerns. Find out more here.

Kids Wish Network — This national organization helps children’s wishes come true through donations of toys and other children’s gifts and money. Find out more here.

Portland Fire & Rescue Toy & Joy Makers — You’ve seen them on street corners with the boots. If you would like to donate gifts or cash to Portland-area families in need, check out their website here.

Aside from making donations, Portland Rescue Mission has also suggested making care kits. By keeping care kits in your car, you’ll no longer be unprepared when you drive past someone asking for help on a street corner. Buy a package of gallon Ziplock bags, and fill them with items such as granola bars, socks, gloves, fingernail clippers and maybe even a few extra holiday-inspired items, like candy canes or cookies.

No matter what it is you decide to do, know that even the smallest effort can make a world’s difference to someone else. And everyone deserves warm, festive and happy holidays.
