Don’t adopt a pet if you’re just going to use them for an Instagram post once a week throughout your college career and then drop them off at the shelter or open your car door and shove them out so they wander across campus for the rest of their existence. Alright, we’ll cut you some slack....

We have some shocking news for you: It’s cold outside. OK, obviously that wasn’t a shock to anyone. But what may surprise you is that there are some people who are not handling this weather well at all. No, we’re not talking about the girl who ordered her Starbucks this morning wearing a hood...

We college students live in quite the technological world. Cell phones specifically have evolved drastically since the flip-phone period so many of us grew up in, and on the other hand the public’s perception of these pocket-dwelling devices is sometimes a hostile one.

We hope we’re not beating a dead horse here by asking everyone to be prepared for severe weather. We already survived the “snow-pocalypse” that happened this past weekend, but just because the snow passed doesn’t mean we can let our guard down. According to the National Weather Service i...

With a new year upon us, we can’t help but listen to the overused cliché, “new year, new me,” used over and over again. It is an overdone phrase that has been thrown out by people all over social media whenever Dec. 31 of the previous year and Jan. 1 of the New Year come. It has a good meani...
