Yes, you read that correctly:... Read more »

This year, my semester didn’t start with excitement, adventure or learning like last semester. I started with a whole bunch of nagging problems and a long list of rambling thoughts in my head. But I will spare you with that. We have the entire year to talk about it. I am an international graduate... Read more »

Summertime is slowly drifting away with a little less than a week away until classes start. This will be the start of my fourth, and hopefully, final year.

It is something that I will work hard for, that I want for myself, but not something I should allow myself to use as a way to continue living inside myself. I love the woman I am, and the...

What if no devices that could make music were allowed on campus, period — no boom boxes, no radios, not even a handheld MP3 player. Boom boxes and radios are pretty obvious... Read more »
