Okay, let me rephrase that title: Your GPA is important, it’s just not as important as you think. As college students, we’ve been told one hundred times over that our Grade Point Average defines us.

Are concert tickets too overpriced?
Michael Rapino, CEO of Live Nation and Ticketmaster, claims that concert tickets are underpriced, pointing to the price of live sports events in comparison to concerts. “Music has been underappreciated,” Rapino stated, in a CNBC Sport and Boardroom’s Game Plan conference. “In sports, I joke it’s like a badge of honor to spend 70 grand […]
The beach: ultimate relaxation
When we think of the beach, we imagine a variety of things. Warm sand, crashing waves, the sun perched high in the sky; an image that seems very calming, peaceful, and relaxing. No matter which beach it is, it always induces this unique feeling of comfort and tranquility, facing a seemingly endless expanse of sun-touched […]
Are Savannah Bananas games better than the MLB?
The Bananas, similar to the Harlem Globetrotters, are about entertainment, giving people who paid money to watch the action without trying to keep score as they’ve hit different ballparks around the country and across various weekends.

Mike Gruseke’s senior goodbye
I remember visiting Monmouth University’s campus for the first time back in 2020 like it was yesterday. After touring the campus, I knew I wanted to come here as I loved everything about the area and what the school had to offer. Little did I know that in a blink of an eye I would […]
