Muslim Footbaths in college

I’m not a liberal and this doesn’t even remotely bother me.  Too many folks are making a much ado about nothing (notably Debbie Schlussel and Atlas Shrugs: MUSLIM FOOTBATHS: YOUR TAX $ AT WORK!)
Why this topic is even up for debate escapes me. Essentially what’s happening is that the University of Michigan-Dearborn will be installing [...]

DSU Students

Authorities plead for clues in Newark slayings — Newsday.com
It’s so sad to read these types of articles in the paper or hear them on the news.  I’m not sure why they keep stressing “good” children (yes there were) but does it have more of an effect as opposed to them being “bad” children?

At least your GPA is safe

Over the past few weeks I’ve read at least three reports of “students” faking it on campus, living in the dorm rooms and eating in the school cafeteria.  All unregistered and undocumented at “their” respective universities.
My initial response was “Why not just register for at least one class and be a part-time student, instead of [...]

So I guess that shuts down the Graduate program

As I had stated in an early post, that I don’t care to go searching for, I had intended to start graduate studie at Texas Southern University this coming summer session.

A University of Colorado student pleaded not guilty Wednesday [...]

Trying to place blame

Today I cried. I sincerly cried over the lives lost at Virginia Tech.
As I watched “Inside Edition” today it just hit me that, less than six (6) months ago I myself was a collge student, roaming campus freely and living my collegiate life.  Just as those students were, and yet I was able to graduate [...]

Hesitant to post this…

So thoughtless.
Rape Only Hurts If You Fight It

Most people today would claim that rape is a terrible crime almost akin to murder but I strongly disagree. Far from a vile act, rape is a magical experience that benefits society as a whole. I realize many of you [...]

College Graduate

It’s official.
I graduated yesterday from Prairie View A&M University with a Bachelors of Arts in Communications from the College of Arts and Sciences. [Why do they put those two together?]
Friends and family came from afar to congradulate me on my huge accomplishment.  Yesterday was filled with mixed emotions.  Stress, excitement, anxiety, happiness, and countless others.  [...]
