It's time for the playoffsPosted Tuesday, April 30, at 3:37 PM In a season that was far too short, the Stanley Cup Playoffs are now upon us. My beloved Chicago Blackhawks clinched the number one seed a couple weeks ago and they will begin on home ice tonight against the Minnesota Wild. After a season like they had, I'm more than excited to watch some playoff hockey. ...
It's that time of year again. It's the time for all of us Ball State alumni to descend upon Muncie once again for a celebration of epic proportions. It's almost time for Munice Gras. Muncie Gras is supposedly a smaller version of Mardi Gras. I would not really know due to the fact I've never been to New Orleans, but there are beads, drag queens, mechanical bull riding and much more...
This weekend I lost my best friend in the world, my dog Wiley. I didn't just lose a pet, I lost a family member and a loyal companion. I remember as a kid, bugging my parents constantly for a dog. Finally, after years of begging, they finally gave in and surprised me in the middle of summer as I was going into the seventh-grade...
Four the past four months, hockey fans have been waiting for yet another NHL lockout to end. Day after day checking the updates, waiting for some good news. It may have seemed like an eternity, 113 days to be exact, but hockey is back! In two days the Chicago Blackhawks will open the season against the Los Angles Kings...
Tales of a 20-something living on her own for the first time With college graduation and my first big girl job came another first, living on my own without a roommate. Now, I do quite enjoy my apartment, but there are several things that I will never get used to. One being bugs, I cannot stand how big the spiders are. Also, the amount of bugs that seem to crawl into my house that I have never seen before, for example a camelback cricket, which scared me to death when I saw it...
It's been just over two weeks since I was on vacation in Florida. It's an extremely rare thing when my parents and I go on family vacation, it actually hasn't happened in 12 years. However, my dad had a work conference in Orlando and my parents sprung the news on me that I had been waiting for, I was going back to Disney World...
The end of September is approaching quickly. This is something that I would typically enjoy for one reason and one reason alone, the Chicago Blackhawks. The end of September means that preseason hockey will soon begin followed the new season. Thus, hockey season is just around the corner...
The greatest weekend of my life is now over. Okay, I may have exaggerated a bit, but Lollapalooza weekend is always one of my highlights each year and this one was no different. For the past six years I have managed to go to typically all three days or at least one day of the three-day massive music festival, which takes over the beautiful Grant Park during the first weekend in August...
There's a lot to love about London. There's even more to love now that they will be hosting the Olympic Games, which begin today. After spending four months in London it's easy to see why so many come back to America just to be desperate to go back across the pond...
Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays. I have typically spent the holiday with my best friends from college usually at a lake house or up in Muncie. This year however, my lovely Independence Day was spent putting the Thursday paper together...
It's been quite some awhile since I've written one of these. I've been keeping myself quite busy these days, doing what you ask? Going to terrible concerts like LMFAO, sadly. A former writer here, Michael, asked me to go on a whim last week and for some reason I agreed. The tickets were $20 on Groupon and a few hours of some terrible music and fashion wouldn't be so bad, I thought...
Final Salute Last night I had the pleasure of attending the Chicago Blackhawks game six of the playoffs. Now, anyone who knows me knows I am a huge Blackhawks fan. So, naturally I was extremely excited and could not wait to get out of work to get back home. The game started off with some well-played hockey. Then sure enough, took a turn for the worse that ended with us losing 4-0. It was this loss that also shattered our dreams of bringing the Cup back to Chicago...
Opening Day is almost here Yesterday I participated in my first fantasy baseball draft. Knowing absolutely nothing about baseball, I thought I was in for quite a challenge. Now being the girl I am, I would typically ask my older brother Adam to help me with this very important task. However, due to the last Blackhawks game of the regular season, I was on my own...
It's everyones right to live For the past few years, I've supported and done several projects on the organization Invisible Children. An organization started by three young men who traveled to Uganda and were amazed at what they found. It is an organization, which is trying to bring an end to the world's longest running war run by Joseph Kony and the Lords Resistance Army...
"I love Ohio it's a great town!" As much as I love the Chicago Blackhawks, I think I can go a few weeks without going to see another game or go on another road trip. Many hockey fans know, we lost nine games in a row during our last road trip. However, we have now won the last three games, two of which I was in attendance for...
I get by with a little help from my friends It is almost time for some of my best friends to make their way down to Greencastle this weekend. This will be the first visit for almost all of them and words cannot explain how excited I am to finally get them all here at one time. Adjusting to life without being able to see my friends on a daily basis has been hard. I found myself spending most of my time inside thinking I may not be ready to grow up quite yet...
Does everybody know what time it is??? As of Wednesday I am proud to say that I have successfully watched every single episode of Home Improvement. Originally, I bought the entire series as a gift for my dad's birthday. I began watching the series towards the end of summer and just happened to pack the series with me as I moved to Greencastle...
See you in 2012! First of all, I would like to wish everyone a happy new year! Don't know about you guys but there's something around a new year and a fresh start that gets me thinking what I can change in my life. I got to be honest though, I start out with good intentions and then something happens along the way and I give up. At least the intention was there, so that's a good thing, right?...
It's Christmas Time I haven't really been feeling in the Christmas mood this year. This in part could be due to the fact I no longer have an extended break from school and am forced to work everyday. That part stinks about the "real world." But, the weather is also playing a factor in part due to it be abnormally warm out...
What really grinds my gears Generally, I'm a very perky person. I walk around each day with a smile on my face, but there are some things that really get me going. The nice person I am, decided to bake my assistant editor, Jared, a cake for his birthday, which is tomorrow. I however, did not have a cake pan and was forced to dish out money for something I'll most likely only use once or twice...
