The U.S. government has been under much scrutiny lately because of the possible illegality in the seizure of Associated Press (AP) records. But how does the seizure impact future journalists?

If you are not familiar with the issue, on May 10^th AP was notified that the government had taken two months worth...

As a self-proclaimed English-nerd, I am unable to let the new film adaptation of The Great Gatsby go un-reviewed. I go to approximately five movies every year, and I generally reserve these excursions for the titles that I have been anticipating for a long time (i.e., Anchorman 2), or movies...

It is no secret that alcohol use is prevalent on college campuses. According to the National Institute On Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, 80 percent of college kids drink alcohol, and over 50 percent of them have partaken in binge drinking...

We live under the general cliché of "the poor college student:" up to our eyebrows in debt and eating Ramen noodles every night. While this poverty is a bit of an exaggeration, it still behooves students to save as much money as possible. With the help of...

Congratulations class of 2013!

Want to know the key to not failing in the next 10 years? This may sound strange, but I think the key to not failing is to fail, and fail often. In those failures, you will find that you will stop worrying about the trivialities, about...

Flying: an activity of which I have become quite acquainted with this semester beginning with 24 hours of traveling from my hometown of Detroit, Michigan, to Sydney, Australia, capping it off with trips to Melbourne, Thailand and Bali. Oh, and let's not forget the lovely layover in Malaysia, a land of...

The struggle of healthy living is one of our greatest epidemics. Obesity is one of the leading causes of preventable death in America, second to tobacco, according to NIH. What many people do not understand is that being healthy does not mean you have to be a fitness addict. There...

Women.

We do a lot of silly things, either to look pretty, or to feel good, or for some other reason (as if we even need one). In most cases, looking pretty equates to feeling good. This is not to say that women can't feel good about themselves without looking...

During the first few weeks of college, everyone questions what their life is about and where they're headed in the future. Being 17 years old when it first occurred to me, I thoroughly thought about it and discarded it like so many others. But, the question came back when I...

Growing up, hundreds of thousands of young athletes dream of playing college sports. Then reality sets in. Everyone on your JV basketball team isn't getting a full ride to North Carolina or UCLA. There comes a time when your illustrious high school sports career comes to end. There are no...

I want to make this abundantly clear: I support same-sex marriage as staunchly as I support interracial marriage, international marriage, marriage between people with different religions, philosophies, education levels, financial backgrounds, careers, passions, hobbies, eye colors--if you love someone enough to tie...

Relationships are new and exciting and we sometimes have a tendency to let them consume everything we do. "Sorry, we're busy that day." "I'm going out with ____ tonight." "Did I tell you what my boyfriend did the other day?" You know the drill. I'm not a stranger to playing...

This is Twitter in 140 characters: A free networking service that you can access almost anywhere that creatively maintains aspects of your business, social, and personal life.

Many critics remain skeptical about the benefits of a social media website that appears to be mainly comprised of mindless babble and...

I recently had an interview for an internship. It was one hour predicated on pressure, and I can think of just two things in my life of similar intensity: rowing and my fear of dropping a baby.

This Skype call, though lengthy by interview standards, was still but a hiccup...

During my time in high school, Facebook and Twitter were the places to go to catch up on the latest social drama among my friends. There was no academic purpose, and teachers -- if they had an account at all -- refused to add you on any social network.

So,...

We've all had the experience of sitting down with our parents as they told us stories beginning with, "When I was your age," while they flipped through photo albums from "the good old days" and showed us several mildly disturbing photos of them in neon stirrups and Jelly shoes. Fortunately...

Tired of the social injustices of the Republican Party? Frustrated by the intrusive and anti-business economic policies of the Democratic Party? If you answered YES to both of these issues, you may be a secret Libertarian -- you've just never known the right label.

As both major parties look to...

When preparing for job interviews, new graduates often focus on technique and presentation: How firmly should I shake the interviewer's hand? How many questions should I ask? How can I word my sentence perfectly to sound more intelligent?  While these are all important questions, focusing on these aspects too much...

You know when you make a new acquaintance and casually meet for coffee or tea to determine whether or not this person is someone you can potentially love, but before the steam ceases to caress your cold fingers, you realize the ostensibly intriguing person is, much to your chagrin, boring.

Azealia Banks is a female rapper who is best known for her hit "212" and for her never ending Twitter beef with celebrities ranging from Angel Haze to Perez Hilton. If Azealia isn't tweeting about getting high or forgetting her stash when she's in the studio, she's throwing...
