The One About Butter

On our Tuesday show......

Butter [or Buttah] - in rap lingo, butter means well-liked and smooth

And that's how we like it here at The Eclectic Room: buttery, artery clogging and so orgasmically sinful.

Cake of The Week
For this week's feature we picked out something buttery and well-liked:

The Donut Factory

You've heard about it, read about it and probably attempted to queue for it. We know we did and the 1 hour wait is worth every single bite of the donuts. The Donut Factory donuts are supposedly the closest thing to the legendary All-American Krispy Kreme - the Highest Pinnacle of Doughnut-hood EVAR - and it might be fitting. Their donuts are ever so light and melts in your mouth due to their special yeast raised dough which makes them so fluffy. Regular donuts are mammoth-like monstrosity in comparison. And the wait? They pamper each holey ring of goodness with such care. How can you resist?

Here's a list of their donuts to salivate over:Photo Credit: ST Foodies

Here on The Eclectic our philosophy is we work hard and we play hard, so it only make sense that we help you on how to study the smart way. We promise it's completely legal.

Effective Studying Tips

1. Study with people you don't like talking to. Keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer
   
2. Plug in headphones to avoid people from disturbing you... even if you're not playing anything at all
3. Never study in a GSR unless you've fulfilled no. 1
   

And of course the evil, hypocritical world of Class Participation:

How to Score Class Participation Without Incurring The Wrath of Your Class Mates

1. Speak at least once a class, not once every 10 minutes.
   
2. Don't hog 'air time". If you like hearing to the sound of your own voice, you should be in Campus Radio
   
3. Make sure the TA and your teacher knows your name and if you're lucky, how to pronounce it properly. Flirting may be required.
4. General Rule: If you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, shut up.
5. Still oblivious? If more than 5 people are shooting you deadly amounts of death rays every time you open your mouth, here's a clue: shut it.
