When it comes to sports, outdoors and activity in general, my life has been one awkward situation after another. I’m just gonna say it right now: I don’t follow/participate in any kind of sport or sporting activity. It just doesn’t do anything...

A couple days ago, I found a website where I could make my own conversation hearts. Seeing as it was nearly February, the month of love, I thought it appropriate to give the candy a go. Before I knew what was happening my hearts were complete with...

Graduate students make up 13.5 percent of the student body at Grand Valley State University. Though it may not seem like a huge percentage of the whole, they are still students who come to this campus, and in that way, they are just as relevant as any...

Temporary fixes are just that: temporary. We look around at the chaos and the logical thing to do is attempt to “stop the bleeding.” The object is to get a clear vantage point, to see what it is that is actually happening. We make a botched attempt...

The Apophis asteroid came and went two weeks ago without as much as a sideways glance by most people (don’t worry, it’ll be back in 2036). No harm, no foul. However, the latest nuclear threats by North Korea means the clock for our species is ticking....

If college football star Manti Te’o wasn’t a household name before, he certainly is now. On the off chance you aren’t familiar, Te’o, a Notre Dame Linebacker, is currently involved in a messy web of lies concerning his “girlfriend” who had...

On the front page of today’s Lanthorn, we looked at the role of professor evaluations at Grand Valley State University. As students, we’ve all filled out our fair share of teacher evaluations, and some of us have even ended up the begrudging across-campus...

Life and choices go hand in hand, every month, every day, every minute. The two nouns have become so closely related that they can even be put together to make up what some people might describe to be their worst nightmare: life choices. The word life...
