“It is perfectly healthy and okay to have fun without your boyfriend.” I like to have fun. You may see me spending hours in the library, working on homework, but I do like to have fun. You may not see me getting drunk every Wednesday for bar night, or every weekend, for that matter (because…
The dreadful time approach- es for the midterm hell week to come to a close and for the grades, whatever they may be, to be submitted. Perhaps these times have been nothing but stress-inducing, a reminder of the areas that could definitely be due for some improvement. But midterms can also be an opportunity to…
We can all sense it, can’t we? That uneasy feeling we get when the chorus of sniffles reigns out during a quieter moment in class.

My friends are weird, but I love them and this means we have weird conversations. One topic that arose was the choice that if you could start your own business, what would it be? I was put on the spot and I arguably chose the most ridiculous business to run. As an Economics major, I…
Holland has always been home for me. In my twenty years of existence, it’s still just the place where tulips grow a certain time of year, freshwater is an abundance and snow is a nuisance. Ask anyone from Chicago to California and you’ll hear them tell you that Holland is cute, but there isn’t much…
No matter who you are or where you’re from, everybody has one thing in common. Everybody poops and everybody eats. And, since they definitely won’t let me write an article based around pooping, this one is going to focus on everyone’s favorite pastime: eating. But, since most of our readership are college students, this is…
With graduation coming up, senior projects to do and just daily life in general, I would imagine that most people have a plan after college like getting a real job. If you haven’t planned something out for after graduation, then maybe you should start looking, because you’re going to be walking that stage soon. Here…
