There's something about that moment every year right when spring starts pretending it's summer that feels like a promise. A subtle reminder that soon, we’ll be trading in our winter coats for summer swimsuits, Uggs for Birkenstocks, and midterm deadlines for day trips. Every year, as the seasons shift, I, like many others, feed myself the same delusion: this will be the best summer ever. Everybody knows spring and summer are peak girlhood, no doubt about it. It’s the era o

It’s that time of year: almost every store you walk into is plastered with pastel colors, seasonal candy takes up three aisles and stuffed bunnies and chicks are sitting on the shelves begging you to take them home. Spring is upon us and Easter solidified its spot in the holiday decor section. As a child, Easter probably meant you got a break from school, got a basket of goodies, went to church and decorated easter eggs. As a college student, I find myself participating in

1) In America, using the metric system can get you in legal trouble 2) I just broke up with my mathematician girlfriend. She was obsessed with an X 3) When I die, I want to be cremated. It’s my last chance to have a smokin’ hot body. 4) What do you call a sad cup of coffee? Depresso. 5) What’s green and has wheels? Grass. I lied about the wheels. 6) Women should not have children after 36—really, 36 children is enough. 7) My friend said that if he went off a cliff, it would

We all remember at one point or another pursuing the brochure for the University of St. Francis (USF), gazing at each picture and imagining ourselves there in the moment. However, as we all know, such picturesque fantasy is not complete fiction as each hallway, classroom, and dining location tells a unique story. These brochures are one dimensional; they don’t truly capture the actual rhythm of a Tuesday morning on campus. To fully understand and appreciate the USF experience

The information I am about to share is highly confidential and must be taken seriously. It is with great trust that I share my life’s work. I have accomplished the greatest endeavor one can achieve. With endless testing, the countless hours I have dedicated to this and more than my fair share of failed attempts, I know how to catch a leprechaun. First and foremost, there is a limited window of opportunity to catch a leprechaun. Preparation is crucial, since they only make an

Every year like clockwork, Valentine’s Day shows up in red, pink and sparkles acting like it owns the place. Suddenly, the world is drowning in heart-shaped everything and even the grocery store strawberries are dressed like they’re going to a high school homecoming. It’s always made me wonder: Is Valentine’s Day actually about love, or is it just a glitter‑covered Hallmark holiday we all pretend to enjoy? Let’s be honest, Valentine’s Day only works if you believe in the kind

Similar to most other holidays, Valentine’s Day might feel like just another holiday in which you have to spend money. In reality, it has always been more than just another consumerism ploy. It is our yearly reminder to be present in our relationships and to show people that we love them. Of course everyone would want flowers or a heart-shaped box of candy. However, in the yearly plastering of decoration and needless junk, connection was lost. People feel more obligated to b

Arguably one of the most memorable parts of Thanksgiving Day for the last 99 years has been the amazing balloons that parade through the streets of New York City during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. This parade started in 1924, but the iconic giant balloons were not introduced until three years later in 1927. The original balloon, Felix the Cat, was added in order to create a more whimsical aspect to the event. This year, people can either watch along the two and a hal

Halloween has ended and the seasons are starting to change once again. Along with the change in season is a change in playlists. It’s time for some Christmas music to hit your playlists. Some people think it's too early for Christmas music since it is right after Halloween, but I disagree. Thanksgiving is a holiday without music. The music that fits perfect for around this time of year is Christmas music. It fits perfectly while the weather gets colder and kids eagerly await

As the holiday season approaches there are many things I look forward to. Including, seeing my friends who are home from school, giving gifts to the people I love, seeing those side character family members that only appear on the holidays, but most importantly I look forward to all of the delicious food we have restricted to our “Holiday Menu”. Except for the true enemy on that list, green bean casserole. I will argue that green bean casserole is the absolute worst dish s

Halloween is one of the best holidays for many reasons, one of them being the music that represents the joy this day brings. You might think that people have the same love for every other holiday, which is almost the case. As soon as Halloween ends, there is one holiday that people start to get ready for: Christmas. Don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas but the immediate attention it gets after Halloween causes people to shift their focus away from a holiday in between Hallow

When people think of fashion, they often think of places like New York, Shanghai, Milan, Berlin, and Tokyo, some of the world's fashion capitals, but have we ever looked right in our own backyard? Outside of the fields of corn that extend as far as the horizon, the Midwest is graced with four distinctive seasons. While our summers are scorching and our winters are blistering, in the fall we transform into a gorgeous city of gold. Once that first leaf falls, our style has no l
