Bring on the real world, responsibilities

Marquavius Burnett April 23, 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...

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

Charlie Bice April 22, 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...

Impact of wise decisions; what I learned at the CW

Ashanka Kumari April 22, 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 22, 2013

Live authentically and seek growth

Austin Gaddis April 22, 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
