Enter FMyLife.com, a relatively recent website geared at letting anyone do exactly that - share their misfortunes with the world.

Student musicians, the spotlights are searching for you! It's time for the annual campus media sponsored Search Party talent show.

After serving for 30 years as conductor of the UC Davis symphony orchestra, D. Kern Holoman has passed the baton to a new face. After an international search, Christian Baldini has been named the new symphony conductor.
Baldini is scheduled to make his conducting debut on June 2 as the symphony orchestra ends its current season. He will join the UC Davis faculty on July 1 as an assistant professor in the music department.
Have your say in "i got Aggied" before the polls close.
