In our society, we are stuck in constant dilemmas, but one of the most prevalent and problematic is the dilemma between political ideologies. We live our lives and separate groups of people based upon who you voted for in the last election. We disagree with each other simply because the other doesn't align with our political party. We lose all ... [Read More…]
Thanks for the memories, dear Christian college
Graduation is 25 days away (and counting). It seems like an appropriate time to fight through the senioritis, chug down another coffee and think about what's changed in the four years since I walked on this campus as an eager 18 year old who could miraculously function without sleep, or the aforementioned coffee. While it's true that I sit here ... [Read More…]
What you need to know about the Syrian civil war
Let's talk about the Syrian civil war and how it has become the potential for a international proxy war. Unsurprisingly, there is a great deal of confusion about how the Syrian civil war even started. In 2011, Bashar Al-Assad, President of Syria, responded to Arab Spring protests by killing and imprisoning hundreds of demonstrators. Shortly ... [Read More…]
All professors should use Canvas for tests
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…]
