Just imagine, or remember, toilet paper draped across the swaying, moss-covered branches and the fine, earthy smell of freshly thrown eggs hanging in the air. All you can think about is the aching in your side from the unstoppable laughter, yet you are breaking the law at the expense […]

“Cha-Ching’s” low budget costumes
As a college student, Halloween is my favorite holiday. The idea of becoming another character with no restrictions or care for anyone’s opinion is the best part. I can be as crazy, sexy or cool as I want to be. Remembering that I am in college, being crazy, sexy […]
Freshmen pay not play, is that fair?
I was waiting to write this piece to see if the student leadership would speak out on behalf of its constituents who are crying out for their action and service. Nevertheless, I digress. I have waited quite long enough. They trampled over the freshman class. Freshmen lost experiences […]
Out with the old and in with Facebook

Allow me to explain: event coordinator’s rebuttal
“Guy Code: Sex from the Male Perspective” is the first event I coordinated on Florida A&M’s campus. I came up with the idea during the summer, and I wanted to see it implemented. I worked hard to ensure the substance of the seminar would be recognized and valued. My […]

Growing up in the age of Miss Cleo scams and television shows such as “Charmed,” psychic reading always seemed like a joke. Believing psychic readings could be real meant that you must be some type of crazy. But after a recent experience, I think many other people should give […]
Orange you glad?
It is 82 degrees on a Saturday in Tallahassee, and the Florida A&M Rattlers are gearing up for another football game. The Rattler spirit is so thick in the air that you can smell it as soon as you step outside. As a proud Rattler, it is only right to […]
