Becoming the next big face of YouTube is as easy as sitting on your couch, facing your video camera, and pressing the record button. This is how the road to YouTube stardom began for famous vloggers like Jenna Marbles, Hannah Hart and Philip DeFranco. They simply talked to a camera about whatever they wanted and […]
They’re the women everyone wants to be — from their magic book bags to their bows and arrows, every young woman in the world wants to take at least one step in Hermione Granger’s or Katniss Everdeen’s shoes. At least, that’s what I’ve thought. I used to think female characters in literature […]
The words “wooden spoon” used to be whispered in my house among my brothers and me like an incantation to summon a demon. Long story short: I was spanked a lot as a child. I grew up knowing the most serious consequence to breaking a rule in the house was the stinging whip of a wooden spoon on the […]
If the “Eragon” and “A Song of Fire and Ice” series got together and had a baby, it would very closely resemble “Foreordained,” written by Dixie State University student Aaron Hall. Call me a super nerd, but there isn’t much in the literature world that perks my excitement like a story that involves a dragon […]
There are many ways to grab someone’s attention, but nothing does it like putting the word “vagina” on a pink poster across a college campus.

I’m about to open up a deep, dark element of my past that has been buried under years of denial: I’m an ex-Belieber. I can now say that chapter of my life is in the past, but that chapter only came to an official close earlier this month after Justin Bieber threw himself on a […]
True love means caring more about someone than you care about yourself, being with that person through thick and thin, making that person sign a contract that binds his or her sexual activity to exclusively cater to your fetish with cable ties and spanking. Wait, what? If you were alive last summer, which I hope […]
I can’t decide what’s more unsettling: the percentage of women sexually assaulted on American college campuses each year or the percentage of women who are sexually assaulted and don’t say a word. Given the sensitivity of the subject, it is difficult to get accurate estimates of the incidence of sexual assault. The American Medical Association estimates that […]
Think of your life as a soundtrack. You have a song that turns up when you know you’re about to discover something big.
