Stop into Top Pot and give the gift of doughnuts!
From the Blogs
Choose 7 Perfect Students to blog on behalf of all of the Big U? Not our style. So we’ve linked to blogs from as many students, professors, researchers, and coaches as would we could, and we're always looking for more. We even found a blogging Dawg. We present them to you unfiltered and unedited, because that’s how life is around here.
Happy Valentine’s Day From Top Pot Doughnuts!

North of Northwest: Bahamas - Barchords
Valentine’s Day is kind of a schizophrenic holiday.
One one hand, you have all the mush. Teddy bears, vases of pink flowers, cheap candy in expensive boxes, love songs upon love songs, and heart-themed lingerie. The other side is the dark side: the sad sacks and loneliness, the Hallmark-induced bitterness and binge drinking and the occasional [...]
