Yesterday, at the suggestion of one of my co-workers, I finally made a trip to the Sunflower Farmers Market. And I am unashamed to say, I have fallen in love with a grocery store. I had driven past this quaint market a few times and honestly thought it looked a bit…questionable. This store is located, [...]

I Like Likealittle
In the past few weeks, the website Likealittle.com has grabbed many SMU students’ attention. For those still unfamiliar, Likealittle.com is a website which allows a university student to post an anonymous comment addressing his or her romantic interest. Each post describes the targeted individual by his or her gender, hair color, and the location where [...]
Let’s Go to The Zoo!
The Dallas Zoo is an overlooked gem. Just a few miles outside of downtown, this landmark provides a quaint yet fascinating refuge away from bustling city life. The area is peculiar to say the least: an aged suburb with many small, run-down shops. But upon entering the zoo property, you forget all about that surrounding [...]
Three Valentine’s Varieties
This year’s romantic comedy, Just Go With It, came in as number one at the box office this weekend—a clear indicator that Valentine’s Day is upon us. SMU celebrated with the annual presentation of “The Vagina Monologues,” a Valentine’s Day Vendor Fair, and other various events. While many students pass over February 14th as just [...]
Snow Week
While winter weather crippled our campus this past week, the ice seems to be thawing on student-administration relations. Wednesday was the second simultaneous snow (or rather, ice) day, both of which were announced at approximately 6:00 a.m. On that day, SMU Provost Paul Ludden sent out another mass email at approximately 4:15 p.m., announcing: “Southern [...]
Enough
The Green Bay Packers will be practicing in Ford Stadium this week, which can only mean one thing: Super Bowl XLV, which will be hosted at Cowboys Stadium, is just a few days away. Though to be honest, I am interested in neither the Super Bowl nor sports in general. Despite my personal apathy toward [...]
Five Years Later
When I graduated from high school in 2009, I, like many of you, received many presents from my family and friends. Today I stumbled upon one of those forgotten gifts: a College Prowler guide: “Southern Methodist University, Off the Record.” For our unacquainted readers, these books are collections of real opinions from real students at [...]
Sorry to Burst Your Bubble
I have an earnest question for you readers: what is so charming about University Park? Is there even a hint of originality, besides a few local restaurants and boutiques? I ask because, to me, this area seems to be a bland combination of preppy schools, tidy parks, pretentious restaurants, and huge houses. Even at this [...]
The Drums of Change
If you heard the beating of tribal drums swirling around the campus air last week, allow me to explain the occasion behind the music. African Student Association (ASA) held their first event, Ngoma, on Thursday evening in front of the Meadows School. Ngoma means “to dance” in Swahili, and that is exactly what people did [...]
Our Generation’s Empty Promises
Recently, I met with a student film producer to discuss our upcoming project. When we sat down to talk, he said, “First of all, thank you for being so professional.” This compliment caught me off-guard: I was wearing sweats and a wrinkled t-shirt, and I hadn’t even bothered to bring my script with me. Was [...]
Second-year Surrender
This school is turning me into a cynic. Actually, it’s not so much the school itself as it is the people. Over the past two months, my rose-colored glasses from freshman year have been snapped in half, kicked down the Boulevard, and stomped on by Peruna’s dainty hooves. I remember last year, everyone was so [...]
