I have a problem. A procrastination problem. Almost every project or assignment I have, I leave until the very last minute. I don’t know why I’m like this. I’ve tried numerous times in the past to change my ways but nothing seems to work. It’s like I physically can’t start an assignment...

April 28, 2016
For the past few years now Game of Thrones has been my favorite show. I remember the first time watched it, I was instantly hooked.

Has Our Generation Forgotten How to Love?
Brittany Lee, Staff Writer
December 10, 2015
Has our generation forgotten how to love? This is a question I ponder regularly. To me it seems that we are the generation who has given up on love. We now live in a society where having a “side chick” is the norm, and making someone your “man crush Monday” or “women crush Wednesday” is...
