Month: October 2018

BY: Kaleria Jackson As a college students we need to eat and eating in the Café can get repetitive. Going grocery shopping is the next form of action. There are a few things obstacles when going grocery shopping. For instance, prices for groceries can be a bit expensive, and as a college student your budget is not as big as when you are grocery shopping with your parents.  Do not be scared to get the store brand products. It may not seem like a big deal, but plenty of people feel ashamed of not getting name brand products. Do not feel discouraged because the non-name brand products are just as good as the name brand. The first rule you have to grocery shopping would be knowing your budget. Your budget will be your determining factor for what you will get at the grocery store, which ...

Full of opinions, but free of spoilers. Who’s ready for another bonkers movie? If you physically raised your hand or you audibly yelled “I am!” then you’re in luck!

Full of opinions, but free of spoilers.  The universe has finally blessed us with a movie we all have been wanting but most importantly, a movie this world needs. A Star Is Born has been on the tongues of many these past months leading up to the premiere. When the trailer first came out people were hooked, and the internet went wild for it and continues to.

With this being the fourth remake, it would be reasonable to expect this movie to be garbage, but boy is that far from the case. One characteristic of this movie I quite enjoy is the fact that it doesn’t drag like some romantic dramas tend to d...

We could not wait to go party, stay up all night, and create memories that would last a lifetime. Those were just some of the glorious aspects that were well known about college.

So here are a few tips when it comes to handling stress in college: Get Enough Sleep It can be hard trying to get enough sleep while you are in college. Staying up until 2 a.m. to type that paper you have been procrastinating on, then staying out all night to hang out with your friend can take a toll on a person. Gettin...
