BLOG: Blogger breaks down the Goth stereotype
I asked three of my fraternity brothers what the top three things were they thought of when they saw a Gothic person. Their answers were: black, they tend not to socialize outside of other Goths and they like to cut themselves or even others. It’s because of these stereotypes that I’ve decided to do a […]
BLOG: New Year’s Resolution
In my last blog, I wrote about resolutions and how to keep them. I’ll admit that I’ve never really been one for New Year’s resolutions though. I just don’t think of them that way. Instead, I try to think of them as lifestyle changes because I come up with them throughout the entire year, not […]
BLOG: Editor comes back for another semester

Several artists are coming to the university for the opportunity to educate and entertain students. University Art Gallery Director Alison Erazmus helps the Art Department decide which artists to bring in. […]
BLOG: Long distance relationships
Long distance relationships are bad news and to be avoided at all costs. Too bad you’re already in one. Sorry, that was a bit presumptuous. Maybe I should explain myself. Everyone warns you to break up with your significant other before college, because no one wants to be tied down by a long […]

Yummy or crummy?
Each week, the Volante will feature a review of a local restaurant. If you want us to review somewhere special, tweet us at @VolanteVerve. Vermillion has a lot to offer. On Main Street alone, there are quaint shops, movie theaters and bars which offer a variety of quality products, even if the prices are slightly […]
