Yes, I am breaking up with you, but really I promise it’s not you, it’s me.  Believe me I have thought long and hard about my decision, and it seems I have no other choice.  Of course I have spent countless hours with my head stuck in the bottom ...

We’ve got spirit yes we do, we’ve got spirit, how about you? That’s easy, I can answer that for you.  If you’re a student at Maryville, you probably don’t have much.  Now I am not pointing fingers at anyone, so don’t get defensive just yet. This is partially no one’s fault in general because Maryville has always been looked at ... Read More »

The summer of 2008 was one I will never forget.  Not because of the friends I made or the lasting memories but because that summer a star was born.  He was actually born in December of 1989, but 2008 was the first time I got to hear him play.  I watched my friend Chris Bandi play guitar and sing a ...

Friday morning 12:03 a.m. It’s midnight on Thanksgiving morning and I have to get up at 6 a.m., and yes I do HAVE to get up for Black Friday.  I can still feel the turkey, mashed potatoes, and cherry pie stuck underneath my ribs and they don’t seem to be moving anytime soon.  I look like I am pregnant with ...

It’s that time of year again.  People are dieting hardcore, people are getting ready to travel all over the country, and most people are in a pretty cheerful mood.  I am talking about Thanksgiving.  The night where most of us stuff our faces with turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, pumpkin pie and then find our favorite pair ...

St. Louis is known for a few things: being the best baseball town (GO CARDS!), toasted ravioli, gooey butter cake, oh and St. Louis style pizza, also known as cracker crust with roof cheese to those who haven’t grown up around it.  Cracker crust with roof cheese, why that name you ask?  Of course, we all know that St. Louis ...

Calories don’t count on Halloween, right? Right.  I just figure when you can’t count anymore neither should the calories.  On Nov. 1 I still feel hung over off candy from the night before.  The streets are quiet, the costumes are off, the kids have all calmed down and that day we all look so forward to as little kids is over.  ...

 “For next week please read chapters 1-11.”  That is what my professor told me on the very first night of my first eight-week class at Maryville. “Eleven chapters,” I thought.  “How is this possible?  Does my professor not know that I am taking 15 other hours?  Does my professor not know that I have a life?
