It’s homecoming season! But students are still scrambling for jobs. During a time where bliss and cheer is supposed to fill the air, an upsetting reality has some students feeling the opposite. The job market is still jagged and employers are only recruiting for internships. Graduates this semester will have […]

A YouTube video flagged “not suitable for minors,” stars a toddler, who couldn’t be any older than the age of five, swearing as if she writes scripts for Comedy Central. At first glance, you expect to hear just a few bad words from a video titled “Foul Mouth Little Black […]

This weekend tens of thousands of Rattler Alumni will once again grace the Hill to celebrate the proud tradition of homecoming. Many alumni will walk the campus in awe of the new renovations and additions. Earlier this week, I passed two alumni doing just that. As they observed the new […]
