1. Essays essentially write themselves. That night before the essay is due…It always seems to be a little darker outside. A little more calm. The feeling of not being prepared because you haven’t started that five-page paper that’s due tomorrow for your gen-ed class that doesn’t really matter that much so you let the assignment slip through the cracks. We’ve all been there. Being an English major makes that a lot easier. Sure, you’ll actually have to sit down, shut up, turn off Netflix and write more papers than theRead More
If you haven’t watched this yet, and you identify with the male gender, and you are attracted to women, please go watch this video. If not, still watch the video.Read More
I’m going to start out by being completely honest: I really would rather spend the rest of my life in the wilderness and only see good friends and family for the rest of my life rather than having to interact with the average human being every day for the rest of my life. That’s just how I am. I love my alone time and I enjoy having some peace and quiet to think to myself and not have to worry about the world around me. That may be selfish, butRead More
Since I’m going to be one of many that are posting about Robin Williams over the next couple days, I’ll let you read other articles to find out about his life, his work, and his influence on the world around him. He was obviously an awesome human being and one of the funniest to ever live. His comedy was on another level, and truly something that nobody else has been able to emulate. He was a unique individual, and had the ability to make anything into a funny situation. IRead More
In February, I got a job at a locally-owned burger joint in Dallas, TX to earn some money for when I go back to school in the Fall. Since working there, I have noticed that some people truly don’t know what it’s like to work in the service industry and treat us as such. Here’s a list of reasons why everyone should either have at least one service job in their life, or should sympathize with those who do. 1. You understand how much tips mean. Tipping your waitressRead More
Let me start off by saying this: not all girls are the same. There are those that do actually mature faster than everyone else like the science textbooks say, and those girls see that nice guys are actually way better than the alternative. There are those that break the rules and don’t just go for drama and seek attention. But they are not the norm, sadly. From what I’ve experienced, the majority of girls aged 15-25 prefer to be with a guy that will treat them like crap, cheat onRead More
1. Breaking Bad Honestly, if you haven’t watched a single episode of Breaking Bad at this point, then you’re probably living under a rock. I have this at the top of the list for a reason. Those of you who have not jumped on on the Heisenberg train yet need to. Now. This show starts off a little slow, but the interest in the storyline will quickly start to grow as the seemingly innocent Walter White begins to morph himself into the character that he ends up being at theRead More
Both of my parents went to college. They understood the importance of getting the piece of paper at the end of it all that said you were now qualified to do more jobs than if you just had a lesser piece of paper that you received when you graduated from high school. That used to be the case. People would go to college because they knew that in doing so, they would open up doors for themselves in the future that would not be opened in any other way. ManyRead More
I take pride in my beard. I love growing my facial hair out because it makes me feel manly. Maybe it’s my own version of a lifted truck, but I don’t care. It also keeps my face warm in the winter months, so there’s that. Here are some things that can start to get annoying about having a beard once you realize that they’re going to happen over and over again regardless of where you are. 1. Things get stuck in your beard. Namely food, but you’d be surprisedRead More
I could call it “situation”, but really it’s a debacle. A horrible and confusing predicament that we have been put in as a nation. The World Cup has begun, and there has already been a lot of drama around upsets, bad calls, dramatic finishes, and the like. The United States Men’s National Team (USMNT) has almost completely been thrown to the side and discredited as one that has zero chance of making it past their group play into the elimination stages. As we officially begin to wade into the CupRead More
As a fan of the Oklahoma City Thunder, and a fan of sports in general, I would like to begin this letter with a heartfelt and resounding thank you to one of the most influential players to have been a part of the still-young Thunder franchise. Derek Fisher, even though you were only a part of the program for a few years, your leadership and poise have helped to bring the program through some tough situations and have worked wonders for a club that needed those elements to bring itRead More
Ok, so let’s set the stage here. According to the New York Times – possibly the most credible and infallible news source out there – the investigation of the rape charges involving Jameis Winston in December of 2012 basically didn’t happen, contrary to what the campus authorities led us to believe. Now in case you didn’t catch the sarcasm in that hyphened-out phrase, the New York Times is not always the most reliable source for fact-based news. However, the article that I read – and that you can go readRead More
One thing is for sure: social media is here to stay. We’ve become so engrossed in what’s happening in the lives of people that we kind of know – as well as that one friend from high school that you still talk to, and your family that now stalks your profile tirelessly – that if all social media shut down tomorrow, people would riot. Mark Zuckerburg’s house would be in flames and that dude that you automatically follow when you create a twitter account would mysteriously disappear. The first socialRead More
This video of Amy Poehler wearing a Pitbull mask and then shortly after revealing that it’s actually not Pitbull, but everyone’s favorite awkward blonde comedian and actress, is going viral. Yes Amy, you’re better than Pitbull. Watch below and enjoy!Read More
I know that the actual season is pretty far off still, but I can’t stop thinking about it with all the spring football games going on ESPN and all the analyst buzz starting to pick up around who’s going to be the team to beat this next season. Here are 5 questions that I’ve compiled to think about as we move closer and closer to the beginning of what should be a pretty interesting season of college football. 1. How will the implementation of the 4-team playoff change the game,Read More
