Wreckfest Review: A Much Awaited Destruction Derby

Wreckfest Review: A Much Awaited Destruction Derby

Editorials
BY: Cory Donde I've always enjoyed racing games, but the ones that caught my attention the most were games where car crashing was not only enabled, but also encouraged. Games like the Burnout series and the Playstation 2 Flatout games caught my attention with flashy wrecks that gained you points as your fought your way to the front.

Materials You Need for the Job You Deserve

Materials You Need for the Job You Deserve

News
BY: Tameesha Matthews Writing and building a great resume is a crucial step in any job search. Without proof of a professional background, a prospective employer is likely to stop considering you as a suitable candidate for a job offer. Cover letters and portfolios are as equally important. Cover letters serve as the head of your resume -- they give you an opportunity to introduce yourself and mention past and present experiences that may qualify you for the job. Portfolios serve as the tail -- they are work samples that back up the information you’ve provided in your resume and…

Review: Shakespeare’s Hamlet at Alabama Shakespeare Festival

Review: Shakespeare’s Hamlet at Alabama Shakespeare Festival

Arts
BY: Molly Gray Last week, I had the privilege of going to Alabama Shakespeare Festival in Montgomery to see Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Here are my thoughts about the production. If you have ever seen Hamlet, you know that there are multiple characters and locations to tell the story. There are three acts. The play lasted two hours and 45 minutes with two intermissions. For some people, this would have been too long. However, I thought that it was just enough time to really get a good idea of the plot.  The play was put on by Bedlam Theatre. They are known…

“Treat Yo’ Self!”

“Treat Yo’ Self!”

Opinion
BY: Kaleria Jackson Sometimes you just have to “Treat Yo’ Self!” As college students, we can put ourselves last when it comes to our mental health or even our physical appearance.  The phrase “Treat Yo’ Self” comes from Parks and Recreation’s Donna Meagle. What does it truly mean? It means spending money or time on something you will enjoy or taking a day out of a busy week to indulge in things that will relieve your stress levels. It may be hard to adjust your schedule at first, but after some time, treating yourself will come naturally. Knowing what may…

The Importance of Internships

The Importance of Internships

Opinion
You just got that degree and you're ready to dive head first into your field, but you can't find a job. Why is that? Employers tell you that you don't meet the requirements. You need experience-- more experience than you probably acquired in your entire college career. Most people think that they can find jobs instantly after college, but that's not always the case. There is an extreme need of experience when it comes to getting a job in your field. Internships can open doors to prominent job positions in the future. Entry-level positions are requiring some type of experience…
