According to Britain’s Daily Mail, an attempted bridal suicide was thwarted this week in China when a young woman was saved seconds before she jumped out a window. Though the 22-year-old was wearing a wedding dress, authorities are still unsure if this scene took place on her actual wedding day, however, they can say the bride’s reasoning behind all this was that her boyfriend broke up with her (so if it was actually her wedding day, the dude’s kind of a dick).

When Pippa Middleton stepped out of her chauffeured car on the morning of the Royal Wedding a few weeks back, both my mom and I gasped at how beautiful Kate’s younger sister looked in her bridesmaid’s dress. “That’s it.” I said. “She just stole the show.” While Jeanie tried to argue that nothing could take the day away from Kate and her Alexander McQueen dress, people were creating Facebook pages dedicated to Pippa’s ass. So I think I was right.

In light of this week’s news events, I went digging into my emails looking for my grad school thesis. Having grown up outside the gates of the United States Military Academy, I chose to write about how, if at all, West Point had changed in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.
It has been said that the two planes that crashed into the Twin Towers had crossed paths right over West Point as they traveled down the Hudson River. The Towers collapsed a mere 50 miles from the Academy’s gates. Yet I found, some three years ago, that the Academy’s mission remained largely intact.
A few notes: 1) My writing has changed dramatically, so I apologize for the parts where it gets pretty boring. 2). Who approved this? I feel like I could have done better (said with diploma in hand). Enjoy.
