Rant and Rave

Rant of the Week: “The library is supposed to be quiet, so please stop getting offended when someone gives you an evil eye when you’re carrying on a 2-hour conversation on the phone and the volume of your voice is on 100. I have no problem with you answering the phone, but if I can hear you and the person ...

Homecoming falls short

Homecoming is a tradition that takes place throughout the U.S. from high school to universities every year. Homecoming is supposed to be a time when school spirit is at an all-time high, from the students who love the school, to the students who can’t wait to transfer; however, I have noticed that school spirit is a very small part of ...

Choosing when the time is right

As a child I was told to hold out—“wait ‘til you find the right one.” Of course, I didn’t listen…I just had to know what my besties were talking about in high school and so that’s where my trouble, like a lot of us, began.

Those shifty guys have thought that a new redesign of the already overloading website would be a terrific idea considering that we are dealing with a new redesign every six months. What are we lowly peons supposed to do in the face of this controlling force? How is the world going to run without ...

Professors not fulfilling job roles

I am sure that every college student can relate when I say that there are some professors here at VSU who will have you wondering why they are teaching; not because they cannot teach, which some can’t, but because some of them almost take a strange sense of pride in students failing their courses and tests. Now some of you ...

Get realistic about dating

To be faithful today is like finding a dog that won’t chase a cat. You find a dog that won’t chase a cat and I’ll show you a person who doesn’t cheat. Now, if you live in a fantasy world where Disney’s fairy tale endings are your perception of how every guy you’re into is supposed to be then STOP ...

Rants and Raves

Rant of the Week There is nothing I hate more than walking on campus and walking through a cloud of cigarette smoke. The most irritating thing is getting stuck behind someone smoking a cigarette. I don’t smoke, so I don’t want to smell like smoke. Either VSU campus should be a non-smoking campus or there should be designated areas on ...
