Alice in Wonderland with Johnny Depp was surrounded by a huge mound of expectations. Tim Burton was supposed to outdo himself, and blow our minds like he did with Nightmare Before Christmas and Big Fish. However, in my opinion this movie fell a little short.  There was nothing defining about this movie, if you were [...]

How did you fair after this black Friday? Did you find everything that you were looking for? Did you find things you weren’t looking for? Did your animal instincts come out as you prowled and stalked around your favorite stores at an outrageously early hour? As for me, I was not as much of a [...]

Excuse me Governor McDonnell, but I’m a little pissed off at your ignorance and would like to introduce you to the 21st century. Here in America we are allowed to live with the people we love regardless of a marriage certificate.  I believe we call it freedom. The Governor’s idea of trying to outlaw couples [...]

As college students we are supposed to know how to study. By this time in our lives we have had fifteen or so years of experience in school and we absolutely should know the ins and outs of a good study session. Feeling lost? Do not feel bad, it took me two years of being [...]

In recent years my attention has been more and more drawn to the lack of “real life” education in our high school system. I have a brother that is special needs, who is able to participate in classes that teach him life skills. Classes that revolve around knowing how to spend money, how to understand [...]

I have a friend who is also a writer, his choice of article this week was bringing back the “Be cool, stay in school”, slogan. This is so important! How many stupid slogans do we see that don’t really stick? How about- “Don’t be scared, just be prepared!”, or maybe “Only you can prevent forest [...]

Danei Richard Opinion Columnist You’re in a different car every time I meet you on the road. I was taught not to hate, but do you ever push me to the brink.  I’m driving a ticking time bomb, a car that as of this year is officially an antique. My dear vehicle trucks along Rt. [...]

Beginning way back in elementary school, summer really meant break time.  In those carefree days, summer was a time of no routine.  Summer meant long, lazy days at the pool, steamy afternoons laying on Grandma’s shady porch and an odd sense of both boredom and panic that school would start again in just a few [...]

The typical advice to the graduating class of 2009 does not really apply to the richly varied group of students who will walk across that stage in Edwards Hall on May 15. At colleges and universities all over the country, speakers will stand up in front of big crowds of graduates and their friends and [...]

A letter to Sean McGrady,                 I greatly appreciate your tribute to the exposure of the unorganized and undoubtedly dumb founded SGA. Students need to know the truth and you are the Tom Brokaw of NRCC. Corruption is always a wonderful disease to exploit. It is actually you, not the SGA, which has inspired me [...]
