I am considered a “modified” individual. I have snakebites, my earlobes are stretched, my tongue is split, and I have a magnet in my finger. There is a grim reaper and a Fascist eagle on my right arm, a symbol from the “Spawn” comic book with my last name on my left arm and a […]

Faceoff: Royal Family
Its okay to care about the prince By: Keren Moros I’ll admit it. I stayed up most of the night to watch Prince William and Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, get married. I squealed when I saw their son Prince George’s tiny hand give what he didn’t know was a royal wave. I said “aww” […]
It’s good to be back
The first day of school has arrived. The daily grind of note taking, studying, test taking, commuting and working can be wearisome, so naturally, most students’ favorite part of the school year is the end. But I’ve looked forward to this all summer the way most students crave a vacation during the long school year. […]

Books and crooks
For many students beginning a new semester, their greatest fears are supposed to be related to term papers or tough professors. Instead, many must worry about how much their textbooks will cost, and whether the total will be something that they can possible afford.

Storage Wars
Here we are, ladies and gentlemen: the end of the semester, the time of the school year that most students dread. All the assignments are due. Group projects or presentations need to submitted and final exams must be taken. Yes, the last three to four weeks of the school year are rough. And for some […]
Print media will never die
It saddens me to say that the demise of printed news is a very real concern, as publications have begun to recognize the web as a powerful tool with more flexibility than print. Words that would have been black and white and read all over are now in full color and only a mouse-click away, and can be updated and corrected within minutes of a development in a story. However, the crisis faced by papers has little to do with journalism and more to do with advertising. Online publications are free because Internet advertising costs are a fraction of their print brethren.
Matters of life, death and graduation
