Think back to the last Summit session you went to. When the lecturer said, "look in your Bibles to John chapter three," did you notice what the room was using to follow along with the passage? Were they using actual, hard-bound Bibles, or was it a mobile device? I normally just listen along since I can never seem to get to the passage in time no ... [Read More…]
We like to call it humor, your Honor
With summer coming to a close, my friends and I took a trip to Port Aransas. I drove more than 500 miles that weekend and with about five miles to go on the way home I received a ticket for "failure to slow or evacuate lane for an emergency vehicle." The "emergency vehicle" in question was an unmarked police car. After some time on the Wikipedia ... [Read More…]
Kudos to the brazen
I can appreciate random and outrageous displays on campus from people who boldly go where no others dare to go. Asking permission and then commencing to tackle someone else's snowman in front of them, especially after having watched them labor to construct it, takes a special kind of person. You have to smile when you see a student in the library ... [Read More…]
Lengthy and short words compete for dominance
The hardest part about my job as managing editor is writing headlines. Well, that and making sure all my minions get their stories in on time. Designing pages is difficult as well. So is ping-pong. But headlines are the worst. They never fit. The best trick is finding words that are very short but carry a lot of meaning. Sometimes I get so ... [Read More…]
Artsy majors deserve respect
I am a graphic design major. I came into college as a speech pathology major, which - don't get me wrong - is an amazing field. I just could not see myself doing it every day for the rest of my life. When I made the big switch, I realized I was going from a scientific, clinical profession to a purely creative one. So I began taking art classes. ... [Read More…]
Flags, as nations, fall to ravages of time
The American flag Buzz Aldrin planted on our moon isn't there anymore. The extreme heat, cold and UV rays probably shredded it. The hardware-store quality flag a secretary ran out to get one afternoon in 1968 is just gone. Ten million years from now evidence of the flag, the footprints and three golf balls won't exist. Our flag wasn't taken ... [Read More…]
Cook takes over Jobs’ Apple
When Steve Jobs turned in his letter of resignation a couple of weeks ago, the tech world went into a frenzy. Jobs has been at the helm of one of today's most influential tech companies from the beginning. Together with Steve Wozniak, he ushered in the new age of personal computers, fought as Microsoft rose above them in the 90s and pulled Apple ... [Read More…]
Workaholic lifestyle cannot be sustained
Dear Overworked Students, There comes a time in all of our lives where we realize that our society is shaping us to be workaholics. Multi-tasking is not only encouraged, but expected. Busyness is esteemed. Resumes appear flat without quantity and variety. And enjoying frequent rests is labeled as laziness. It is no wonder we feel stress levels ... [Read More…]
Politics and faith butt heads
Our political platforms reflect many of the pillars of our Christian faith, because Christians are taught to seek first the kingdom of God. Yet what boundary have we crossed when a Christian judges the strength of another's faith because of differing political ideologies? "How can you claim to be a Christian and a Democrat?" An arrogant tone ... [Read More…]
LOL, u rly shud read this, its FTW :)))
Call me old-fashioned, but I like talking to people. In person. This may seem "weird" or "ancient" or "individualistic," but hear me out on this. See, there's something about face-to-face interaction that Facebook and texting just can't quite offer. Computers and phones are all the rage right now (just wait till this Internet fad is over), but ... [Read More…]
