Famous designers Domenico Dolce and Steffano Gabbana made headlines last week when they made a public statement saying they opposed child adoptions by gay couples.

Sprint-ing to the Verizon store
It was the first Saturday of spring break and I was looking forward to heading back home for a relaxing weekend on the coast. I load my car, fill the tank and begin my drive. The drive to Corpus Christi takes about six and a half hours to complete. I pass through a few podunk towns, and then I reach the stretch of the drive that is two hours of ... [Read More…]

The future induces a quarter-life crisis
I'm 20 years old, and I have no idea what I'm doing with my life. This, my friends, is a quarter-life crisis. What is a quarter-life crisis you ask?

Stop trying to fight the power of Netflix

The worst party trick ever
I haven't watched TV or loyally followed a single show in over a year. I honestly can't say the last time I watched something on Netflix. No, I didn't give it up for Lent or intentionally make some vow against TV. I promise I'm not a pretentious freak - I have nothing against TV, and I'm sure I would enjoy it. The habit probably started last ... [Read More…]

The plight of the iPhone addict
Hello, my name is Catherine Blakemore and I'm addicted to iPhone applications because it's like having my own personal MiniBot robot in my pocket. IPhone applications are a superfluous addition to working with technology, but it's also a glimpse at what life may be like with robots. Or not. For me, the iPhone 6 is basically a personal ...

The calm before the storm: bye week for intramurals
Spring break is here, which means all intramural teams receive a much-needed bye week before entering the final two rounds of playoffs.
