May 3, 2013 by Marissa Jones

When I was pretty young, I was the kid that hated leaving. I would hide and fight and cry when my parents came to bring me home from a friends house. I would actively time how long I could keep my parents saying good night to me. I just didn't know what to do when things concluded. Endings are always strange. I don't like them. They're full of ...

Letters from a disgruntled American traveler abroad

April 19, 2013 by Marissa Jones

To the woman who tried to pickpocket me: When I stepped on that busy metro, I'll admit I took no notice of you. You were pretty unassuming which could've made you effective. And I don't want to be too harsh or critical but you really did blow it. There are some things in life that don't make sense: color blind fashion designers, teachers who hate ... [Read More…]

The tale of a tongue-tied traveler

February 15, 2013 by Marissa Jones

My Spanish teacher told me I had one of the worst Spanish accents she'd ever heard. She said this to me in front of the whole class after I had answered a question. Strangely enough, my eagerness to speak in a foreign language just hasn't quite been the same ever since. Part of the problem is I can't roll my tongue. This is a pretty quintessential ...

"Ending my college education early was always the plan for me, but the things that I have been able to see, experience and examine about ACU’s community were not. I have found immense growth in ACU over the past three and a half years, but ACU still has a long road to climb if it wants to keep catering to students as the world changes around them."
