Water your thoughts: Thanks for the break!
Thanksgiving is quickly approaching. I love Thanksgiving. I get to spend time with my family, eat delicious seasonal food and most importantly, I get to have a break from school, but I’ve recently discovered something that is giving me anxiety, to be honest. Did you know that NSU is one of the only universities in […]
Water your Thoughts: Think About it

Water your thoughts: “How to never stop being sad”
The title of this article is also the title of a beyond-melancholy song by dandelion hands I used to listen to religiously.

Water your thoughts: Growing Up, For Real
On Sept. 17, I’ll be turning 20 years old. While I am excited about being an age that doesn’t have the word “teen” in it, that is also why I’m apprehensive. Being 20 means that it’s finally time to grow up, for real. All of the uncertainties that casually got pushed aside and out of […]

NSU made a whole lot of changes over the summer to the food court in the Don Taft University Center as well as to what we used to know as the UC Pit and, in all honesty, I am not the biggest fan of it whatsoever. Something they did that especially ticked me off is […]
