Pop music ate our souls, let’s get them back

Christine Colleran Oct 17, 2012

Pop music is like junk food. It’s over-processed, sometimes sugary and not always easy to quit. Most of us indulge in it, whether you happen to be a glitter-drenched Ke$ha enthusiast or someone who hummed “Call Me Maybe” one time while you were...

Oh. Space Rocks. Cool.

Nate Smith Oct 17, 2012

It’s safe to say that nobody cares about space anymore. Can you blame us? Years worth of budget cuts and NASA’s ½ a-penny-on-the-tax-dollar budget cuts have made our foray into spacy very…limited, to say the least. While our telescopes are...

En route to somewhere new

Garrick See Oct 17, 2012

As human beings, are we not expected to discover greatness outside the norms of society and conformity? Should we not challenge ourselves instead of being confined in safety, only to be fed by the big spoon of the desired social system? Living, in itself,...

HOME RUN

Oct 14, 2012

When a student walks through the doors of Grand Valley State University for the first time, they will do so knowing they will have to meet high academic standards throughout their educational career. At GVSU, the same can be said for the student athletes. While...

There, Their, and Déjà Vu

Amina Mamaty Oct 14, 2012

A few days ago, I was walking with my friend Alexandria in Meijer. I was jokingly complaining about the fact that I couldn’t find all the products I needed. I said “I’m going to sue Meijer!” Alex responded “How you gon’ sue Meijer Amina,...

Roommate etiquette: The Almighty Ruleths of Commoneth Senseth

Stephanie Schoch Oct 14, 2012

I was getting tired of the repetitive question to which I was giving a consistent answer: “actually, I’m going in blind with three roommates for next year.” Yeah, yeah, a risk, I had already gotten that response quite a few times. And yes, I...

A DAY TO REMEMBER

Oct 11, 2012

One year. That’s how long it has been. Some students, faculty or staff at Grand Valley State University may have forgotten, but for the family and friends of Shane Peoples-Welch, his memory is far from gone. Last year, the 21-year-old public administration...

Fifty Shades of Garbage

Christine Colleran Oct 11, 2012

Erotic fiction isn’t exactly new, but the novel Fifty Shades of Grey seems to have thrust (pun intended) the salacious genre into the limelight. These days you can hardly go anywhere on campus without hearing girls giggling over the domineering “Christian...

I want you to want me

Garrick See Oct 11, 2012

How do men get women to like us? We’re not particularly smart, God knows we have no sense of hygiene, and most often than not we are loud, crude and over the top obscene. So, why do our female counterparts find us attractive enough to go out with us? Women...

SCAMMED

Oct 7, 2012

With the rapid evolution of the Internet through the years, so too has there been a rapid evolution in Internet scams. Today, a scam can come in all kinds fo clever shapes and sizes and it really can come at you from all angles. Some are now targeting...

Have a good day, and be nice.

Stephanie Schoch Oct 7, 2012

I was having such a good day. Smiling as I strolled along, there was literally a skip in my step. I was happy to enter the classroom, looking around at my fellow classmates, curiously wondering what knowledge we would soak in during today’s lecture....

Taking the Plunge: It’s a good time to get that Credit Card

Christine Colleran Oct 7, 2012

Money burns a hole in my pocket. And, seeing as it would be irresponsible to be so careless with money (letting it fall through the burnt hole and such), I usually think it appropriate to spend my money whenever possible. Unfortunately, that line of...
