The average college experience is sprinkled with parties and students often find themselves in sticky situations. My sliver of experience with college parties has taught me a standard for how to handle myself when things take a wrong turn. For those over the age of 21, here are several drinking-related situations and how to deal with them: The spins. It’s summer! When school’s out (or down to...

Parlez-Vous Français: All Languages Blend Into Each Other

Kristen Roberson June 2, 2017 0 Comments

Parlez-vous français? Maybe not, but a lot of languages build off of each other through assimilation, and English is a great example. Quite a bit of the English language is derived from French. It began with the Norman Invasion, which brought William the Conqueror and a French nobility to rule over the English-speaking peasantry. Since French was never taught to the lower classes, it didn’t...

I have already had plenty of daydreams about lying down at the pool, eating popsicles, and buying a hot dog at the Braves game, but this summer I have decided to do more than just daydream - I am going to be productive.

The Bright Side to Early Classes

Samantha Holt April 24, 2017 0 Comments

Registration for Fall semester has started, and I know a few unfortunate students have fallen victim to class scheduling. Some students are unlucky enough to get stuck with an unavoidable 8:00 a.m. class, and, even if it is the most exciting class in my schedule, there is nothing exciting about taking an early class. I have never been, nor will I ever be, a morning person; the day does not start...

5 Steps to Becoming a Healthier Student

Des Easton April 10, 2017 0 Comments

I'll be the first to admit that I am not the most athletic of people. Growing up in a family full of athletes, I had to find my own ways of staying healthy and active. College doesn’t exactly lend a hand, what with all the amazing culinary options we have on campus. This semester, I have intentionally searched for ways to stay fit while doing very little. Here is my lazy man’s guide to...
