I have always wondered why bucket lists were associated with death. I mean, I get the idea of it being a list of things to do before you die, but why do we wait until we are old or know we are dying before making one? I might be strange, but I think that a […]

Fun Professors Or Strict Professors: Which Do Students Like More?
When it comes to professors, there are definitely many different types. I might even dare to say that finding a professor that is exactly what you want is a nearly impossible task. Not saying that other professors aren’t good, but it is rare to find one that has everything you want. Some professors are too […]
De-Stressing Post Midterms
It’s midterms season again. We all know midterms are not the most fun part of the semester, but they are an essential part of the class structure and they indicate that you’ve already made it half way through your studies.

You Do Not Always Have to Be OK
In today’s society, there is a stigma surrounding mental health. People throw around the word “anxiety” for anything, but when a person has anxiety or depression, they are frowned upon.

We find comfort in the things that transport us to a time from when we were young. For many of us it is a smell, food, sound, or even a toy from our childhood. The nostalgic moments make us long for those simpler and happier times. Often, we find ourselves wishing we could turn back […]
Homecoming 2021: New and Improved
Homecoming is this Saturday, Oct. 2, and I could not be more excited. Everyone has a different idea of what makes homecoming fun. It’s an event that brings students, families, and faculty together in a setting outside the classroom. An environment where everyone can let loose and enjoy themselves.

Keep Your Notes!
The practice of writing things down—whether it be class notes, random ideas, or journal entries, is immensely important. In modern day, we are so drilled to immediately get rid of our notebooks upon finishing a class because our minds are so geared towards thinking, “When will I ever use that again?” Not only is this […]
Seasons Change
“September, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas. That is how I categorize the last few months of the year. Some people say summer ends on Labor Day, others say it ends when school starts, and some say it is at the fall equinox on Sept. 21. When I was younger, Labor Day was what ended summer for me. […]
