The Daily OrangeWhat's the DL? | Words of wisdom from the week of Sept. 14

Durrie and Lizzie are on a quest to find the hip and cool buried under the (usual) Syracuse snow. Read their online column every weekend for suggestions on how to spend your weekends.
Afternoon naps to "Explosions in the Sky": One of the best instrumental rock bands of all time. They're from Texas, and since Liz is from Texas she thinks they're better. Download the album "All of a Sudden, I Miss Everyone," lie down and wait for some crazy dreams with a sweet soundtrack.
Guys with their sleeves pushed up to their elbows: The votes are in. This Laissez-Faire display of forearms is the male equivalent of cleavage.
Wannabe-vegan sandwiches: Next time you're in the dining hall, toast a bagel. To one side, stack lettuce, tomato and a slice of provolone, vegan cheese if you're into that. On the other half, spread some hummus. (If you're out of hummus, mash some chickpeas and add some olive oil). Eat it on the Quad and watch people stare with envy.
Modcloth.com: Between classes, studying and parties, who has time to go shopping anyways? Modcloth has some great dresses from a variety of indie designers.
Stuff with Bob Marley's face on it: We're kind of obsessed.
Those cute little beach cruiser bikes: We're eternally jealous. Every single time I see someone riding one, I have this urge to push them off and ride away. You've been warned.
Not being sick: Dear sinuses, I was liking college, but you're kind of a buzzkill. Please be nice. Love, Durrie.
Girl Talk at Juice Jam: Did you know he paid off his student loans as a biomedical engineer? Who knew growing livers on petri dishes could translate into some sweet beats.
Chatting up your custodian: They know absolutely everything about Syracuse and the surrounding areas, plus football scores. Try it. (And a shoutout to my buddy Mike!)
The flavor of the week: No, we don't mean ice cream.
Urban Dictionary's definition of "indie kid": "Elitist, Liberal (not Democrats, they're all Libertarians and Green Party and such) people aged 16-28 who listen to independent music. Better than regular people, they're smarter, hotter (they generally try and act like they don't care about how they look, but they do) and better than the general populace."
"What's the DL?" is written by freshman roommates Elizabeth Vogt and Durrie Bouscaren. Hailing from Houston, Texas, and Fort Collins, Colorado, they love telling people what to do. If you've got an idea for a DL, (music, books, movies, food, Syracuse events, or general advice) feel free to send it to mailbox 57, Flint Hall.
