Ever heard of the expression "The Internet is forever"? Chances are you have, and it's never been truer. The most typical fashion in which our generation hears that phrase usually comes with discussions of future job employers and life after college. Though that's true, it's not the only aspect to take into consideration. Let's say the ... [Read More…]
TBH, TBTs are the result of our knack for nostalgia
Despite all the forward-thinking techy trends that are constantly abuzz, we seem to retain an obsession with nostalgic snap shots of the past. We make #ThrowBackThursday posts on social media so we can display old pictures of ourselves as children being dysfunctional and wearing too much denim. And when we don't have old pictures, we just apply ... [Read More…]
Playoffs!? Don’t talk about playoffs!
Today I'm going against Jim Mora's wishes and talking about playoffs. You know, that little mini-tournament teams play in at the end of the year which claims to crown a league champion, but really only determines which team plays the best in cold weather? Yes, playoffs. Oh, you still don't know what I'm talking about? You've never heard of ... [Read More…]
Keep Abilene Boring
When I first visited ACU's campus, I made my parents stop by Monk's Coffee Shop so I could purchase a "Keep Abilene Boring" T-shirt. But at that time, I had no clue about the depths of Abilene's boringness, or why in the world anyone would want to keep it that way. Then, this summer, I had an internship in Austin, which is New York City ... [Read More…]
A glossary to understand seniors
Though it's still the first semester of my senior year, large chunks of my time are being spent discussing and Googling and worrying about my impending graduation. It's annoying. I'm convinced I'm using the same words over and over again. So I've compiled a glossary - buzzwords almost every senior is using - so you can understand the annoying ... [Read More…]
California vs. Texas
One afternoon this summer, a woman at my church here in Abilene invited the congregation to her ranch for a barbecue after service. I had never been to a cattle ranch before, so I eagerly accepted and headed out to the middle of nowhere for an evening of games and food with my friends. Her husband made some of the best burgers I have ever eaten ... [Read More…]
My life is not a romantic comedy
"Now that was when people knew how to be in love. They knew it! Time, distance... nothing could separate them because they knew. It was right. It was real. It was..." "A movie! That's your problem! You don't want to be in love. You want to be in love in a movie." - Meg Ryan and Rosie O'Donnell in Sleepless in Seattle. First off, ... [Read More…]
New spin on Intramurals
This weekend, I played in the intramural Ultimate Frisbee tournament. Well actually, I just ran around and congested the middle of the field with defenders who didn't know I wasn't actually going to touch the Frisbee. I was asked to play only because, being a co-ed tournament, there was a requirement of at least two female players per team on ... [Read More…]
Dream Team Frisbee dominates intramural tournament
Ramsey Towell, senior computer science major from Abilene, woke with a start early Saturday morning, dripping in a cold sweat. He'd never experienced a nightmare like this before - the annual intramural Ultimate Frisbee tournament had been canceled. Back to reality, he sighed in relief and tried to slow his rapid breathing. He calmly rested the ... [Read More…]
Analyzing Cult Classic Concepts
Believe it or not, Pitch Perfect came out two years ago. (Yeah, now you feel old.) Even though it's history, the majority of the Internet/American population will know what you are talking about if you start doing the cup song. Some recent movies like Pitch Perfect have made a significant impact on our culture. Movies like Frozen, Mean Girls ... [Read More…]
