Bring on the real world, responsibilities

Marquavius Burnett April 24, 2013

I read a tweet a while back that said, “Graduating in four years is like leaving the bar at 10 p.m.,” and who am I to disagree with that bulletproof logic? It took me six years to get to this point...

Sometimes, it’s okay to do an interview sans pants

Elizabeth Lowder April 24, 2013

The last few weeks of my senior year of undergrad were supposed to be crammed with projects and bar crawls. Instead, my senior year came to an abrupt end on April 27, 2011. Many friends dispersed and went...

At the crest of the wave

A.J. Collins April 24, 2013

One of my favorite songs from high school was “Power of One” by Bomshel. For some reason, amid the allusions to Rosa Parks and Anne Frank, the words “One grain of sand can turn the tide” spoke...

Get involved, make the most of your experience, find your passion

Alexis Paine April 24, 2013

In a week and a half, I will walk across the Coleman Coliseum stage, shake a couple of hands and celebrate receiving my degree. The last four years at the Capstone have been amazing. Although filled...

Impact of wise decisions; what I learned at the CW

Ashanka Kumari April 23, 2013

Although I’ve written more than 100 news articles and almost that many papers for classes over the last four years, this column has definitely been one of the hardest. Bear with me. I’ve been fortunate...

Moving into fraternity house was the best decision I made in college

Tray Smith April 23, 2013

I started college as a senior but am graduating as a freshman. For my first three years at Alabama, I spent most of my time saving the world, first as a freshman SGA representative, then as a campaign...

Live authentically and seek growth

Austin Gaddis April 23, 2013

I’ve thought about having to write this column for a long time. It’s amazing for me to see how the script of what I thought I would say has changed as I’ve grown as a student, a writer and a person....

What it means to be a part of this community

Colby Leopard April 23, 2013

Community. An interesting word, if you think about it, that means something different to every single person in the world. When I arrived at The University of Alabama almost four years ago, I had a definition...

Move past your differences, divisions; work together, make this place better

Stephen N. Dethrage April 23, 2013

Anyone who’s been around me for very long knows that my Radiohead fandom knows no bounds, so whether we’re old friends or complete strangers, I hope you’ll forgive me dragging them into my farewell...

Do what you love and you’ll love what you do

Charlie Bice April 23, 2013

When I first came here, I was overwhelmed and frightened by everything the University was and still is. It was one of the darkest periods in my life because I had no one that I considered a close friend...

The CW gives a voice to students not coddled by UA

Melissa Brown April 22, 2013

I had a friend ask me this year why the paper was reporting on something he found embarrassing to the University. He thought the University should handle it internally and was genuinely curious why we...

Students should graduate college with education, not just a piece of paper

Ashley Chaffin April 22, 2013

Saying goodbye to The University of Alabama was supposed to be easy. The plan was to walk May 4 and be gone at most three days later. In October, this column would have been a quick reflection of my opinions...
