To clothe or not to clothe
Pets are companions we cherish. Some people cherish them more than their own lives and others cherish them more than others’ lives. With this great love comes interesting urges to cover them with stylish — or unstylish — fabric, assign them personas and completely butcher and mistranslate their language. Why do we do all of […]
Don’t wait for the New Year
As good as New Year’s resolutions seem on paper, they have one fundamental flaw; they put you in a mindset that certain conditions need to be met before you can begin achieving your objective. This condition is waiting for the new year to begin. I once read that the hardest part of completing a task […]
Thanksgiving is a lie
The other day on my way to school, my car alternator died on me and I was left stranded in the middle of the road. Given it was so early in the morning, everyone that I could reach out to for help and a jumpstart was still sleeping. I had to do something. I couldn’t […]
Advice for new students
Jumping into new experiences in college can be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be a difficult process.

So, why would so many people still honor and celebrate it? To fully understand and formulate my opinion, I took to the internet. I read a few confederate, union and […]
Is there a point to National food days?
Heck yeah there’s a point to national food days (I wasn’t allowed to say the other word, so I settled for “heck”). There’s no better feeling than waking up on March 1, turning on your television and seeing an advertisement for the glorious, and elusive, Shamrock shake from McDonalds. This isn’t a national food day […]
Thyme to garden
Have you ever wanted to be more self-sustainable or simply live on your own, far away from society, shirking all responsibilities and commitments? Well, if you knew how to make your own herb garden, you would be one step closer to that lifestyle. Herbs are good for flavor, and they are full of nutrients your […]
Spice up your food, not your love life
Why waste time spicing up your love life, when you could be spicing up some delicious meals. Living on campus or simply going to college in general, you will be told two things; love and delicious food are both hard to find. This is mostly true. However, you can manipulate one for a more desired […]
