Curiosity is something that pulls at someone’s brain sitting in the back of the person’s mind waiting to be fulfilled. As for me, my curiosity is unbelievably difficult to bottle up. I had never thought I could be so curious, I am the type of person to lay back, but now that I have really paid att...

The 2017 National FFA Convention was one for the books. Even though we had to wake up at 4:30 in the morning, walk city blocks in 40 degree weather, and take pointless surveys inside the center, I wouldn’t have it any other way. The real fun started after the convention. Instead of going to the ann...

I honestly think that field trips can be used as one of the greatest learning tools in school. Field trips could be a visit to a local zoo for an animal science class, a government building for a history class, or a theatre for an English class.

I have never considered myself either a hockey fan or a Notre Dame fan, but after my experience at Compton Family Ice Arena this past weekend, I may have to reevaluate my decisions. Not growing up watching hockey, I know little about it. When I think of hockey, all I think about is being cold and fights....

“Let's go IU.” This is unrealistic, yet it is all right in front of me. I am standing with the IU cheerleaders five hours before the IU game begins against Charleston Southern. How is this possible? UCA, Universal Cheer Association, hosted an event called Spirit Day. This allowed sever...

Mondays. The first main day to start off a week. The Monday morning slap in the face into a brand new week. Even though we have some good Mondays, we still dread about the thought of Monday. The reason why this day is terrible in perspectives is a main question everyone wonders. In fact, there are som...
