After four years of buying Scantrons, I'm formally calling out all the teachers who forced me to spend $2 on the pointless pieces of paper. We have Canvas for a reason, and all professors should be using it. I'm not just writing this because I want my own professors to use Canvas –using Canvas for all multiple choice tests would save the school ... [Read More…]
Never stop being curious
Most people who aren't math majors scoff at the idea of mathematics, but the more you study it, the more interesting concepts you will uncover. Through my hunger for knowledge, I have come to be interested in the concept of a supertask. We all know that there is an infinite amount of countable numbers; you can always just add one to "n" and make ... [Read More…]
A wild ride of an NCAA tournament comes to a predictable end
If you kept up with the NCAA tournament this year, your mind might have exploded with the madness that occurred throughout. However, the insanity still came to a predictable ending. This year's bracket was filled with major upsets. We saw the first ever 16-seed victory when the University of Maryland Baltimore County took down Virginia, a team ... [Read More…]
Left-handed life in a right-handed world
Most right-handed, and perhaps even most left-handed people, don't realize how many things in life are geared toward right-handed people. From shaking hands to using a can opener or coffee pot, almost everything we do on a daily basis is designed for the right-handed population. I didn't realize this was a problem until an injury forced me to be ... [Read More…]
Witnessing March Madness is a must
During Spring break, I was able to dive at the opportunity to go to Nashville to see three different NCAA tournament games thanks to my buddies Colton and Reece Powell who live in the city. The three games I witnessed were the first-round matches between Texas-Nevada, Xavier-Texas Southern and Florida State-Missouri. Each game brought a ... [Read More…]
New LGBTQ policy shows commitment to ACU values
To avoid skirting around the issue I will begin with this: I agree with ACU’s new stance on same-sex dating relationships. And I do not believe the university is acting out of hatred or insensitivity. In fact, I would contend that though this new policy might feel rash or unexpected, by breaking silence on the issue, the university is sacrificing ... [Read More…]
Political systems, religion and morality, oh my!
Yesterday, CNN posted a Facebook story on evangelicals' approval rate of President Trump. At the end of the story, CNN made the claim "a lot of people are starting to ask whether this is the end of evangelicalism as we know it." They may be right about American Evangelicalism, but for all the wrong reasons. Let me start with the point: there is ... [Read More…]
“The bell does not dismiss you, I do”
"I just don't understand why classes are mandatory if I'm paying $45,000 a year for them." Don't act like you haven't said, or at least thought it before. Probably among the top five most prevalent questions, I would argue, of the ACU experience - Why do professors get to take attendance and penalize us for not showing up to class when we pay ...

US still on the way to greatness
America has made leaps and bounds toward justice and equality, but we have not yet finished the race; structural violence, sex crimes and mass shootings remain prevalent in our society. Whether it’s innocent people getting killed for no reason or the continuing cycle of constant poverty, our country is facing extreme problems that need to be ... [Read More…]
Little Less Fortnite, little more support
This past weekend, the Department of Athletics promoted a student tailgate they were putting on for the Women’s and Men’s basketball doubleheader. The tailgate was sponsored and catered by Canes, Mr. Gatti’s and Buffalo Wild Wings. However, many students grabbed food and left before the Women’s game had even begun. This is just the latest and ... [Read More…]
