Struggling with the Arizona sun
Liz Cheney, Staff writer
April 20, 2012
It’s April and the thermometer has already cracked the 90-degree mark. That’s just one of the many “plusses” of living in beautiful Arizona. For me, the record-breaking 100 degrees is too much. If you’re like me and you don’t tan or get darker until after your skin turns four shades of red,... Read more »
Energizing coffee
Asada Njuguna, Life & Times Editor
March 8, 2012
My life can be described as slightly crazed. I have two younger siblings who are very active, so I’m always caught in some sort of function on top of juggling my own. Most nights I don’t get to bed until late and I have a very delicate sleep schedule. I’ve learned that in order for me to function... Read more »
Juggling January
Jacqui Marzocca, Managing Editor
January 9, 2012
January is the beginning of a new year with new goals and expectations, yet it has the same demanding needs as the year before. It is easy to become overwhelmed and get stressed out. For me, I need to make sure I take some time to just relax. I’m a “can do” person and constantly take on more than... Read more »
Keep your life on track with goals
Sarah Dinell
February 7, 2011
It’s so easy to coast through life, living day by day with no specific plans in store. However, is that really how you want to live your life? Trying to survive the days until the weekend, or just doing the minimum amount of work until graduation? Kind of depressing, isn’t it? It is so important... Read more »
Cold weather clarity
Tatum Hartwig
February 1, 2011
People usually associate grey clouds with gloominess and sadness, but for me an overcast sky brightens up my day than a bright, sunny day. Weird, right? Especially considering we live in a desert state that has an average of 325 out of 365 days per year of clear, sunshiny days. I’m prone to more smiles... Read more »
Back to reality after break
Nathan Samuels
October 18, 2010
I just got back from a fun week in California visiting my brother and hanging out on the beach. It was a nice break from school and a nice break from the Arizona weather. Now I have to go back to focusing on school, studying and working for the “A’s.” I still feel on break and my attitude towards... Read more »
Fall is here
Bree Purdy
October 4, 2010
It is currently 5:13 in the morning. I am on my elliptical and writing this on my iTouch. The glass doors in front of me are wide open. Cool air. I have two tests today, both of which I will most likely fail, but I do not care. It is currently 67 degrees outside right now. I am ecstatic because of this. I... Read more »
Live with no regrets
Chanel Alvis
September 29, 2010
If there is one thing I’ve learned in life up to this point it’s that if a cute guy asks for your number, you give it to him. That’s common sense, isn’t it? I made the mistake of not giving the cute guy my number and I’ve regretted it ever sense. As I thought about my small mistake, my perception... Read more »
The tragedy of movie making from books
Sarah Dinell
September 10, 2010
It’s an age old argument; movies vs. books. But what about those books that are made into movies? Which version is better? Recently, in one of my bouts of boredom, I was reading through lists of books that were eventually made into movies. There were many more than I expected, a lot of movies that... Read more »
The cure to insecurities
Tatum Hartwig
September 2, 2010
Insecurity is something I have suffered with my entire life. I remember even in elementary school thinking that I wasn’t as pretty as the other girls or that I didn’t have as nice of clothes as my classmates. These feelings of inadequacy only grew as the years passed. I became more awkward and isolated.... Read more »
