Welcome to the second coming of The Outhouse

Welcome! To those of you who remember theouthouse.org, here is its reincarnation, in the form of a blog. Although the editing and polished design are absent, hopefully the insightful, interesting and opinionated writing will flourish again!

From the original site, here is a description of what The Outhouse is about:
Introducing the world's newest online magazine, full of colorful and knowledgable commentary on any and all topics of interest to today's college students. Our subject matter includes sports, political news commentary, and the latest technology and entertainment news and events. Our staff is diverse and intelligent, comprised of students from across the nation. We have representatives from Duke University, The University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, The University of Chicago, Wake Forest University, North Carolina State University, The University of Texas, and Harvard University. The magazine reaches upwards of 25 universities nationwide.

The original site featured a slate of authors, all college students, from universities across the nation. Our staff participation dwindled to the point where it didn't make sense to lie to ourselves any further -- The Outhouse, as we knew it, was dead.

That lead to this site -- a rekindling of the desire within many educated, vocal college students to express their thoughts and exchange ideas in a completely free manner. If you were part of the original version of The Outhouse, please join the new iteration and continue the level of writing we came to enjoy and expect. If you're new to The Outhouse and you'd like to write, submit a writing sample to Ben at ledzeppben@yahoo.com with your name, and if you're a student, what school you attend. Thanks!
