Artist Weekly: Rachel Blackburn
Thomas Breeden Staff Writer One day during mid-summer 2010, Rachel Blackburn’s phone rang. It was her friend, Tyler. “He called me and he was like ‘Hey let’s hang out! Let’s spend the day together,’” Blackburn remembered. “He’s like, ‘Here’s what we’re gonna do: I’m gonna bring shoes over and we’re gonna paint them.’” That’s what they did.

Kim Davis represents more than a partisan attitude

Caught in the middle
Risking Risks Emily Bruzzo Editor-in-Chief I’ve been doing a lot of thinking recently about what it means to take risks. I’m 21 years old. I don’t drink — except for cranberry pomegranate juice, iced lattes and too much Mountain Dew. I don’t smoke: marijuana, cigarettes or hookah. I don’t really party; I can’t dance, my only move being the “white-girl shuffle.” I’m irreligious. My resistance … Continue reading Caught in the middle

Lack of school spirit
The Editorial Staff The Women’s Soccer team played host last Thursday to one of the most prominent athletic universities in the country.

Matthew Johnson Sports Editor As a fan of Kanye West’s music, the disdain he receives from most people amazes me.

Top ways to make people think your life is better than it is….on FACEBOOK
Jackson Cooper Staff Writer I don’t know why I still have a Facebook. Now, I can understand Tumblr, because it’s always entertaining. And Twitter, well, let’s just say a lot of important people are on Twitter. However, Facebook is just more personal, like what MySpace was to us ‘90s kids back in the day. Currently, Facebook has evolved into what Instagram was when … Continue reading Top ways to make people think your life is better than it is….on FACEBOOK
