Artist’s Corner: Q and A with A...
Q: What mediums do you work with?
A: I originally started off with colored pencils, but with a work I call “Julie,” I went with mixed media. I used acrylic, colored pencil and chalk. I also just started taking a painting class this semester. I enjoy it but I think I really like colored pencil, it’s just kind of my thing. Also with my sculptin [...]
Culture quickly dimming
It appears that in the past decade American society has started down the wrong path. Morals and values have been tossed out the window and dignity is just as worthless as the dollar. Most importantly, it seems that we no longer possess any sense of class. Music, television, film – all now commercialized, popularized, bastardized.
I first noti [...]
Shoes gateway to sole
I think it was a mistake for me to watch “Forrest Gump” at such a young age. That scene when he says something about how you can tell a lot about a person by their shoes? Yeah, that kind of stuck with me.
I’m not the judgmental type by any means, but no matter what, I always end up making instant assumptions about a person’s personality based [...]
‘Call of Duty’ good, not great
Last November, our minds, as well as our consoles, were blown with the release of Infinity Ward’s multiplayer masterpiece Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Now, one year later, we are graced with the release of Treyarch’s successful follow-up, “Call of Duty: Black Ops,” a first-person shooter that once again delivers through its breathtaking v [...]
Unhappy with Happy Meals
America’s obesity problem is by no means breaking news. In the past 50 years, the number of obese American adults has increased by 20 percent, placing the United States amongst the top 10 fattest countries in the world.
Is this a result of our poor eating habits, decline of physical activity or simply a lack of self-control, or perhaps a comb [...]
Don’t want to believe
I have never been one to laugh at other people’s phobias. Obviously some are more bizarre than others, but if someone is terrified of owls then by God let that poor soul be terrified of owls.
I definitely believe that my acceptance of phobias stems from my unfortunate, life-long fear of aliens.
Trust me. I understand the ridiculousness of thi [...]
Helpful, hallowed hints
I have always held Halloween in the highest of regards. Maybe this is due to the fact that it’s one of the few holidays that do not traditionally involve spending time with the extended family or stuffing one’s face with unrealistic amounts of starchy foods. No, Halloween is far simpler, something more aimed towards the individual, and thus, [...]
Cooped up in the classroom
Basically, I’m under the general impression that I may not be doing something right. Isn’t the main function of college to open doors to the world’s wondrous possibilities? Instead, it seems to have slammed them all shut, one by one. Dreams and ambitions once so attainable and realistic are now further from my grasp than ever.
So what exactly [...]
Artist’s Corner: Q and A With Sarah S...
Q: What attracted you to art in the first place?
A: My dad was always into art. When we were little kids, we would be in church or something and he would be drawing instead of listening with us, and I’ve pretty much loved it ever since then. My sister is also into it, which makes it easier.
Q: What is your favorite medium?
A: I’d probably say [...]
Nickelback overrated, incompetent
For those of you this offends, I’m not sorry.
Present-day rock groups are anything but decent. The Canadian music group Nickelback, in particular, is the worst thing on the planet. For them to even be classified as a rock band disgraces the entire genre itself and doesn’t say a bit of good for the sad, sorry record label that ever thought giv [...]
College consumption
We college students have little to no free time, period.
Our daily routines generally consist of classes, maybe a part-time job and then, hopefully, a sizable amount of homework. Some days, it’s even a pain to find time for stuff like laundry or personal hygiene.
It seems our days of doing nothing are over. Books, video games, endless social [...]
Good loving
All right fine, I’ll write about damn relationships.
At this time in our lives, nothing is definite. College is notorious as a major catalyst for one’s personal values, ideals, and aspirations. An average college student changes his major, what, around three or so times? You know what I have to say to that? Change the hell out of that major, [...]
