I would like it to be known that when I originally sat down to write this story, the computer I was using literally burn’t out, which was not the best sign. I was finishing up some reading for my CF when I had the idea for this story. The computer was on standby. I moved [...]

Carpe Diem!
Graduating from college is a sausage making process. College is the interesting time in life where you are expected to have the most fun and be the most responsible at the same time. As many of us know, this time in our lives will have an infinitely unforeseeable effect on our lives as adults. Relationships [...]
Realization
Midterms suck, and I know you agree. I’ll admit it’s rare for me to say I’m stressed out, and many of you that know me personally probably agree. I’m typically on top of my shit. But considering my mental state about 36 hours ago, I give in. It was stressful. Some of you approached me [...]
Romance 101: Part 2
In a world of hookups, breakups, and endless dating disasters, it’s easy to feel a little lost as you’re trekking through the wilderness of opposite sex options.

Clutter Free
I am trying to live a life without clutter. I started over the summer, when I went through a box of childhood belongings. It was rough, and as I’m still learning, a life without clutter is not as simple as throwing away old scraps of paper or rubber bands. A lot of times, my process [...]
Change Up
So it’s the winter-ish time of year again here in lovely Dallas, Texas, which means two things for me when I look out my apartment window in Hillcrest Manor: enough cloud cover to make me feel like I’m living in some Twilight fantasy hell, and miserable looking sorority girls running around in short shorts and [...]
The Economics of Another Point of View
In response to my Economics professor’s teachings: I’m not here to claim I’m some economic genius. I’m not. I’m a kid, a student—working her way through college—studying my way to success. So who am I to contradict you, my professor, the God of all knowledge, or so you claim to be in the context of [...]
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.

Religion’s Scope
I’ve read a variety of things around campus that hold religion on an untouchable pedestal, and I’m not too surprised, considering where I am. But frankly, it’s all made me quite irritated. And I know there are others who share my view. The “Four New Nails in Darwin’s Coffin” lecture last month (and the article [...]
Pedestrian Mustangs, Part 1: Catcalls
I am a proud pedestrian. I’m lucky enough to have a car, and the Mustang Express does come near my apartment. Still, I’d rather walk to school, for various reasons that I can and probably will dive into at a later time. Most of the time, I take “the long way” to and from school, [...]
Romance 101
I remember being in sixth grade when my biggest romantic dream was to have my first kiss while listening to a corny Sixpence None the Richer song. Now, I go out on a typical Thursday night to look over in a corner and see a girl making out with a guy who has his hand [...]
