In 1977, Roger Waters was angry. The bassist and co-frontman of Pink Floyd had experienced, along with the rest of his bandmates, a meteoric rise to rock-stardom in a short four years. In 1973, Pink Floyd released one of rock’s most iconic and beloved albums, Dark Side of the Moon. Two years later, they released […]
I have a dream that all humanity will one day learn to use parallel structure properly. The only problem is that I’m currently stuck in a classroom, listening to my Chinese history professor ramble about Ying-Yang hexagrams, am writing about parallel structure and haven’t taken notes as I really should be. Unfortunately, these relatable student […]

Dear Tiffany, I’m a freshman trying to find who my best friends will be here at college. I can’t help but feel like I’m the only one who hasn’t found that person or group that I “click” with. I’ve been hanging out with the girls down the hall in my dorm, but they’re pretty reserved […]
I like surprises. What I saw on Saturday in the sizzling atmosphere of Tempe, Arizona was definitely a surprise. And I’m not complaining. The Trojans came out with redemption in their eyes. I’m not sure whether it was from the heartbreaking defeat last year against the Sun Devils or whether it was from the beating […]
