I have officially made it through the class that was only created to destroy me. Public Speaking (SPK 208) is in the past. In high school, my favorite English teacher told me I should definitely consider taking the class that they offered. To which I laughed, replied no, and sat there confidently knowing I’d…
> The only time I’ve willingly spoken in public was during my Dad’s funeral when the thought of his casket in front of me and the life without him ahead was scarier than the 70 or so people sitting in the church and the possibility of mispronouncing Ecclesiastes.

Halloween, rather Halloweekend, on college campuses is probably the next best weekend after Homecoming. If you ask anyone what they’re dressing up as for all three nights, they will give you a list of five options that they can’t decide on. Instead of trying to be the scariest, we try to be the other ‘s’…
I’m not good at many things that I can confidently say I’m good at. For instance, I’m good at binge watching Netflix series in time for them to start up on live TV again, I can sleep a full twelve hours under certain conditions, and I can easily get through eight servings of guacamole in…
As you might’ve heard, you’re reading an article written by one of the newest members of the Zeta Gamma chapter of Phi Sigma Sigma. When telling people that I was preparing for rush, rushing, or that I accepted my bid, many people had questions as to why I was doing it. Most were surprised and…
In case you haven’t heard, I made the decision to rush a sorority at West Chester and was invited to join this past weekend. Vicki and Stephie are now legacy’s and there is a sorority woman in the family. For those of you with jaws on the floor, yes I did actually talk enough to…
