Greetings ladies and gentleman! Fall is here and it is truly glorious. We have said goodbye to the summer heat practically melting the skin off of our bodies and hello to the crisp cool air that welcomes the holiday season. Hopefully the planets have been kind to everyone so far this semester. With Mercury entering retrograde yet again on Halloween, it is going to be so tempting to blame every...

Staying in shape during an injury

Lily Merriman February 16, 2019 0 Comments

I wasn't always an active person. In fact, up until just a few years ago, I probably would've considered myself to be the exact opposite. My "exercise" consisted of walking to classes and eating at least three plates plus dessert at the Commons for every meal. After that, I’d go back to my dorm to watch TV for the rest of the day until it was time to go out at night and start the process all...

My freshman year of college, I bought a coffee maker. After moving into my apartment and sitting through syllabus week, scanning Walmart’s shelves for something under $25 while double-checking my bank account felt like the natural next step. As I recall the memory of me lifting a soon-to-be-mine Mr. Coffee cardboard box into my cart, time reels in slow motion and the fluorescent lights above us...

Letter from the Outgoing Editor-in-Chief

Griffith Knoop December 31, 2018 0 Comments

I’ve been with the publication for about three years, now, but it feels like it’s been much longer than that. When I joined The Sting as Web Editor, things were a lot different: Student Media had a board that put all the big decisions to a vote; everyone in an editorial position got paid; we put our magazines out monthly. Though much has changed and despite all the struggling we’ve done,...

Three Ways to Eat Healthier Without The Hassle

Nicole Mejia December 7, 2018 0 Comments

Remember the blissful days of never having to worry about food? In the morning, shuffling out of bed to a kitchen full of options; from Eggo Waffles and Toaster Strudels stacked high in the freezer, to whatever cereal that was available: Lucky Charms, Cocoa Puffs or some classic Honey Nut Cheerios. On a good day, one might have walked in on the sweet sight of mom or dad flipping pancakes at the...

Exercise apps are efficient and convenient, which makes breaking a sweat that much easier. Wherever your smartphone goes, the apps go as well.

Garrett Patterson November 15, 2018 0 Comments

Many companies in the medical, security and financial fields have access to sensitive customer data that must be protected. Companies can sometimes be lax in their dealings with this data, and this attitude toward security is often the cause of large breaches. It can be difficult to find the perpetrators of these large breaches, especially if the company that was breached is not in the same...

YouTube Showcase: ExploringWithJosh

Megan Williams November 8, 2018 0 Comments

Although I only started urban exploration a year ago, my initial interest began with Youtube videos made by ExploringWithJosh. The first one that sparked my interest was a video about an abandoned village near a volcano. I remember him jumping around the buildings and thinking to myself that he had to be absolutely crazy, but still it interested me and I found myself wanting to do crazy things...
