Vex and the Verm – A Column: Farewell, Berlin
Less than two weeks ago, I learned I would not be going to Germany. I had applied for a fellowship that would take me across the pond and allow me to venture through German cities, mainly seeing media entities and how they function outside of the U.S. Unfortunately, I knew the second it […]
Vex And The Verm: A Room Full of Strangers
It’s hard to be happy for others when you’re not. I am used to it at this point, though it still pangs. Being single, and to have never been in love, at least to never have that love reciprocated. All of this is, of course, non-platonic love which I am referring to. Most of the […]
Vex and The Verm: What a Way to Go
I once heard that a singer starts to write about fame when they have nothing else to write about. While I certainly am not famous, I wonder if the same can be said for a journalist. Do they write about their work when they have nothing else to write about? When writing my […]
Vex And The Verm – A Column: An Ode to My Father
Since I can remember I have been a “mama’s boy,” both self-proclaimed and stated. Every Saturday I would go out to eat with her and my aunt, and afterward, the three of us would spend the rest of the day shopping. As brutally honest as it may sound, my […]
Vex and the Verm – a Column: Guess the Apple Doesn’t Want to Fall Far From the Tree.
It’s that time of year. One doesn’t even have to look around to see that almost everyone is sick. I have just gotten over this after what felt like weeks of coughing and pain. Unfortunately, I’m being plagued with a new sickness. Homesickness. It all started after I watched a video […]
Vex And The Verm: The Most Prominent Culture at USD
It’s the thought that consumes pretty much everyone’s mind – Hookups, specifically hookup culture and what it looks like at USD. Have you ever hooked up with someone? Someone who you went with knowing exactly what each of you was going to get out of it. How did it leave you feeling? […]
Vex and the Verm – a column: Nathan Goes Greek, A Real Story of Rushing
For starters, I am not the type of person who would ever rush. That was until I learned what Greek life is really like. Going into this I had some predetermined guesses on which houses I would like or could get into. I also had a decent amount of friends in different ones, which may […]
Vex and the Verm – a column: Shall Old Acquaintances Be Forgot?
I have always been one for dramatics. Part of me believes that it also makes me just more observant of the world around me, What I have noticed the most, is the lack of friends around. For the past few weeks since arriving back to campus, I have felt a bit of […]
Movie Review: “Spiderhead”
The 15-minute rule. You have to give the movie fifteen minutes to get good. My personal tolerance window stands at about two minutes. However, this rule was created by my dad to convince my brother and I to watch older films that tend to take a little more time to build. Now, my brother and […]
What’s Up With the Traffic Lights on Cherry Street?
Every morning, I wake up, get dressed and drive to campus. During this drive, I ask a question in my head as I drive south on Dakota Street: how long will it take to cross Cherry Street? Some days, I wait very little, others, much longer. Once in a blue moon, I roll up on […]
