BLOG: Confessions of a waitress
I’ve been working in food service since I was a sophomore in high school, so roughly four years. There was a six or 7-month period where I thought it was cool to not have a job at all because, I’m a genius. I started as kind of an all-around kitchen worker at a nursing home, […]
BLOG: Students should be left to learn on their own
Dozens of topics interest me (as with you doubtlessly), yet, due to the nature of time and circumstance, we are directed to particular areas. A theme has been on my mind and I wish to share it with you. We are living within a society in a world. For a society to properly function (such […]
COLUMN: Going incognito at college
I’ll be honest; sometimes I get a kick out of playing the out-of-state student card.

COLUMN: Not-so-forced fun
For my date with Blaine, he asked if I liked Asian food, and I do, so we went to Silk Road. Both upon our arrival and our departure, he displayed a chivalrous personality by opening doors for me, which I greatly appreciated. While we ordered two separate entrees, he was more than willing to share […]
BLOG: Names cause problems for the Girl with the Glasses
What is in a name? An interesting question, Mr. Shakespeare. It’s a question that caused no little bit of controversy on Facebook this last week. Sometimes when I’m lying awake at night and pondering my life, I consider my name. Sometimes I say it to myself over and over again. “Jackie.” After a while, […]
