It's here. It happens every year, and yet it'll always catch you off guard. It's Sing Song. And as the week rapidly approaches on the calendar, three categories of people start to emerge from the sea of students: the traditionals, the newbies and the wary. To start, the traditional students are well-versed in the event. Their parents are ... [Read More…]
Sing Song isn’t for everyone
I am just going to come right out and say it. I am not participating in Sing Song. As a first-year and a transfer student (it's complicated) I really just don't understand all the hype surrounding Sing Song. I transferred from a public college and so nothing prepared me for the spectacle that it is. I remember when I was visiting campus last ... [Read More…]

Agenda Pushing plays huge role in Academy Awards
The voting for the Oscars has been nothing if not consistent. Consistent in ways that prove what the average movie-goer has known for a while now: the Academy loves agenda pushing. When it comes to whatever idea is most left-winged and non-traditional, odds are, the Academy is all over it. It has left a good percentage of fans to abandon the ... [Read More…]
Why the classics still matter
Yes, movies with zombies and kisses in the rain are fun to watch. But where do these cheesy, outrageous, seemingly bizarre plots come from? We've all had to take some form of a history or English class, but that only scratches the surface. Today's economic policies, movies, medicine, and even technology are all firmly rooted in the classics of ... [Read More…]

Cruz grabbed 27.6 percent of the vote and eight delegates, beating Trump's 24.3 percent and seven delegates. Hillary Clinton barely edged Bernie Sanders on the Democratic ... [Read More…]
What Not To Wear
Lets face it; people judge you based off [ON] your outward appearance. There is no way around it. [IF YOUR FOCUS IS FEMALES, SAY SO FROM THE START] From the way you wear a dress to the type of jeans you buy that specify to your body type, society has created an anonymous [IS THIS THE RIGHT WORD?

The benefits of students with work experience
Throughout the years there have been a lot of changes, including the technology we use, the style people wear and the platform of communication outlets. Just as all of this has evolved, so have the requirements and expectations of college students seeking jobs or internships for their future. Earning a degree and good grades used to be ...

On grief and breathing
There are moments sometimes in life that knock the breath out of us, moments when you wake up with a Facebook notification that makes you cry. Today, Hudson Wade, 11-year-old son of Kirk and Laura Wade, died after a four-month battle with leukemia. Hudson was diagnosed with leukemia in September and since that day, family and friends have joined ... [Read More…]
“Gymtimidation” exists and the SWRC can combat it
A freshman once saw a cute guy at the gym and tried to show off by turning up the speed on the treadmill. Unfortunately, her shoe got caught on the treadmill and she fell off the machine right as the guy passed by. Although embarrassed, she was able to push past the shame and still works out regularly, but she now keeps the treadmill on a lower ... [Read More…]
