Registration fixation, frustration, elation, vacation
It’s finally that time of year. If you are reading this, you’re probably doing so while taking a break from packing all of your clothes into your laundry bag to go home this week for Thanksgiving, or for those of you who were brave enough to skip class altogether this week, from the comfort of […]

Nine more days, nine more days, nine more days. As I write this, only nine days stand between me and Thanksgiving break.

A list of grievances
Happy week four, readers! This is only my third blog post this year, but I’m already running out of blogging inspiration.

Let me entertain you
Hey readers. I realize that’s a pretty lame way to start a blog, but blogging isn’t really my thing — I didn’t exactly become a journalism major to steal Perez Hilton’s thunder. Here’s the deal: to spice things up on the Mustang Daily website this year, we decided that all of the editors would post […]
