Mardi Gras

Feb. 13

Fat Tuesday is here again. Kick off the Lenten season with the annual last hurrah of your choice. Just remember, a necklace of plastic beads isn’t worth your dignity. Maybe like four or five necklaces, I don’t know. I’m not here to tell you how to run your life.

Valentine’s Day

Feb. 14

No excuses this year, you were reminded by the Ebbtide! It’s time, once again, to celebrate the Feast of St. Valentine, who I think was martyred. Anyway, after you get done with church you can worship at the altar of Hallmark and Visa to give your significant other a night of wine and roses they’ll never forget. I swear I’m not as jaded as I sound. Just deeply, deeply lonely. For some tips on how to show that special someone just how special they are, see Cupid’s Calling on Page 6.

Ash Wednesday

Feb. 14

It’s a liturgical two-fer! Sadly, the Ebbtide doesn’t have any fun tips for how to kick off Lent in style. Saddest of all, I can’t answer that most important of questions for you. So if you want to know if Jesus will forgive you for not fasting because your significant other will be pissed, you’ll have to go ask your priest.

Issue 8!

Feb. 16

The most important event of the whole next two weeks. Tune in for our continued coverage of the international student experience, a rather curious treasure hunt and, of course, everyone’s favorite section, the news briefs!
