While Facebook cracks down on "fake news," government officials delete Tweets with false statements and family members bash the media, many students can't help but wonder if there's any way to find the truth about what's going on in the world. In the Age of Information, we seem to be surrounded by lies. Society moved from hearing things "through ... [Read More…]
Drake goes too far in One Stone
It’s not a new thing for musicians to throw shade at other musicians by writing a song – in fact, the majority of music today is riddled with personal jabs. Drake is no stranger to this. He has a history of producing diss tracks, but in his recent release Two Birds, One Stone, Drake chose to attack something different: mental illness. The song, ... [Read More…]
Why I’m protesting for women’s rights
On Saturday, I marched alongside 50 thousand people for basic human rights for women across downtown Austin, TX. For the first time ever, I took time out of my day, using my God given right and held a sign over my head saying 'Human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human rights', the classic quote from Hillary Clinton. To be ... [Read More…]
Prayers, presidents and protests: Why its OK for Christians to protest
It’s inauguration day and it seems like most American citizens revert to two responses: pray or protest. You may have voted for Trump and gladly accepted the reality that he is your president. You may have violently opposed his election, declaring confidently that he isn’t yours. Amidst differing views and a cacophony of political and religious ... [Read More…]

Cowboys fans and even haters, yes, the team lost their first playoff game and kept the streak of failing to advance past the divisional playoff round since 1996 alive.

Finals Thoughts: What we’ve learned in 2016
As we are all cramming for finals and working endlessly on final projects, we thought it was important to stop, take a breath, and look back on what we’ve learned this semester. When the semester started, some of us had goals like finally learning time management or maybe learning to not wait until the night before a paper is due to start it. ... [Read More…]
Yoga: The best thing that ever happened to me
My roommate and I tossed a coin to decide who would get the room with the biggest window. I won. Then I stole/"borrowed" her yoga mat and so I could practice yoga in front of that window everyday. But I promise, I really do love her. I started practicing yoga during the summer because I was bored in Abilene and wanted to go to gym classes as ... [Read More…]
Love your neighbor
I didn’t want to write a political column, but here I am. The morning after election night, America has spoken, Donald Trump is set to become our 45th President, and I’m writing a political column for a conservative Christian university’s newspaper even though I didn’t vote Republican. I don’t think there’s anything I could say about this ... [Read More…]
From mannequins to race: the difficulty of challenges
This week has been an interesting one as it brought the issue of race to the surface of campus conversations. Along with those issues, something else was brought to my attention and it was the concept of willful ignorance, but not in the traditional sense. After Wednesday’s chapel in which President Schubert addressed the difficulty Christians ... [Read More…]
Katie was a fellow writer, a fellow friend
The power of the written word is incomprehensible. The idea that while we may die our words will continue to live on. Katie Kirby was a fellow sister, friend, companion and writer. Since June 2016, Katie wrote articles for Odyssey online. From open letters, to college freshmen, to why pledging at ACU is the best, Katie believed in the power of ... [Read More…]
