It’s finally December, and you’re about to take your last few finals for the semester. You know what that means? School is over and winter break has officially started. No more homework, no more studying and no more papers to research for. Winter break usually means sleeping in, watching Netflix all day and being lazy […]

Faceoff: If You Love Him and You Trust Him, Press “Send”
I grew up watching movies about the perfect fairytale and how relationships should be, but, let’s be honest: we all know the real happy ending in those movies actually happened inside the castle walls. If we think about how relationships work these days, I am sure Cinderella wouldn’t be sending just shoe photos to Prince […]
Faceoff: Don’t Snap Those Photos
When we’re in a relationship, we think it’s going to last forever — you know, like Cinderella and Prince Charming. We think: together for a year, a fairytale wedding, a couple of kids and happily ever after. But in reality, whereas Cinderella lived a fairytale with her one and only prince, you may have many […]
Faceoff: Long-distance relationships deserve a chance
We have all heard the expression, “You don’t choose who you fall in love with.” Distance does not impact feelings toward a significant other. Today, it feels as if we are surrounded by peers in long-distance relationships, which are more common than you’d think. According to Match.com, one out of every five college students is […]
Faceoff: Halloween is my favorite holiday!
Halloween — the word conjures images of plastic skulls, cardboard tombstones and cotton cobwebs. This haunted holiday is unique among all the others in America. Whereas other holidays celebrate love, families, togetherness and even patriotism, Halloween is about celebrating all things spooky. I absolutely love Halloween. I love all the creative costumes, the candy bags […]
Faceoff: Halloween Hold the Scream
Okay, I don’t know what ghoulish activity happened between the ancient times and now that inspired people to create a holiday full of insidious undertones. Don’t get me wrong; I’m all for the door-to-door free candy festivities or the creative showcasing of pumpkin carving skills, and let’s not forget the thrill of dressing up without […]
Faceoff: Rejection
A woman always maintains the right to say no to a man’s flirtations, but there are honorable ways to do this, which many women seem to have forgotten. I know many women have had plenty of bad experiences with men. However, women never have the right to insult a man the moment he approaches them, […]
Faceoff: Rejection
OK, I’ll admit it; I’ve had my fair share of experiences when it comes to rejecting guys. While some rejections have gone smoothly, beginning and ending with a simple “No, thank you,” others have quickly escalated to “I have mace, and I’m not afraid to use it.” Although I have no intention to be rude […]
Faceoff: Home for the holidays
Good food, presents, cold weather and traveling are synonymous with the holiday season. For most people, family time is also an integral part of the holidays, but many college students can’t afford to go home or can’t leave their classes or jobs in order to take a vacation. Even though some students will be away […]
Faceoff: Are horoscopes worth the read?
I enjoy reading my horoscope by Amanda Ziadie About a year ago, I began reading and researching zodiac signs after being approached by a psychic in Miami Beach. This lady explained that my energy caused her to approach me, as she could tell that I’m an extremely strong person and that I’m a Gemini. She […]
