BLOG: The wild side of dating in college
I heard a less-than-humorous joke once that went something like this: “A woman doesn’t want to spend her life cooking and cleaning, so she goes to college where she meets the man for whom she spends the rest of her life cooking and cleaning.” I know, my feminist senses are tingling too, but considering that […]
BLOG: Girls with guns
Let me preface this by saying I am not a feminist, but why is everyone so surprised that I know how to shoot a gun? It’s hunting season, and that means it’s the time for shotguns, fluorescent orange and time spent walking fields in search of roosters. For me specifically, that means it’s time for […]
BLOG: I workout and you know it
As I sit here writing this, I am hyped up on endorphins because I just had a great workout. It got me thinking I have talked a little bit about exercise, but have focused more on healthy eating. Eating healthy is still an important part of a healthy lifestyle, but so is exercising. There are […]
BLOG: Vermillion bikers
This particular blog is not about discovering Vermillion like the title says, rather, I’m writing about the adventuring process. I am very pro-bicycling, I ride my bike to every class and around town and it’s awesome. I don’t spend money on gas and it’s good for me too, being as I spend the majority of […]
BLOG: #TFM
We are all aware of the typical stereotype of fraternity men. What pops into your head? Is it Sperrys, shorts with an inseam that matches your GPA, a tight polo and faux Ray Bans with a snapback to top it off? If so, you aren’t the only one. This image has been created by the […]
Choral showcase well attended
Singers at the University of South Dakota choral showcase Oct. 19 performed a wide array of pieces for an audience of about 500 in preparation for the rest of the year’s shows. Three separate choirs performed pieces tailored to their group, said Director of Choral Activities David Holdhusen. “I think about how the music is […]
COLUMN: Columnist excited for Halloween
If there is one thing my time in Vermillion has taught me, it’s that there is no such thing as a coincidence. Having said this, the fact that Halloween is on a Wednesday this year is something to be considered. Not only is Halloween my favorite holiday, it also happens to be the day before […]
What’s in it for me?: Part 2- For the intellectually inclined
It’s about 9 a.m. as the hum of computers and fluorescent lights begins to fill the quiet nooks and crannies of the National Music Museum. Julie Boston, the curatorial assistant, begins her work for the day – anything from maintaining and cataloging the thousands of files of sheet music, art work, posters, magazines and photos […]
REVIEW: Taylor Swift’s “Red” is pure gold
Ladies and gentlemen, Taylor Swift has done it again. The 22-year-old sensation has managed to catch the admiration of thousands, possibly millions, with her fourth studio album “Red.” Even though Swift is a country star, her newest album has a definite pop feel. The normally country-themed love songs have more of an edge to them […]
REVIEW: Todd Margaret uses subtle humor
Sometimes, the best thing for an overworked college student to do is to take a night off, relax and watch some TV. Yet, some students, like myself, don’t have the luxury of cable and its endless hours of quality programming. Fortunately, there is something much better – and cheaper – than television. It is the […]
