Once upon a time I was at my local cinema, patiently sitting through the advertisements that now come before the previews. After a reminder to drink Coca-Cola and a sneak preview of a TV drama that has probably since been canceled, five shadowy figures appeared on the screen, standing on a desolate hillside.

One student’s musings on the conversation of race in Utah Recently I was involved in a discussion about experiences of racism among some friends on campus. A white girl interrupted the minorities who were speaking and said, “I’m so sick of you guys complaining. Racism would probably go away if you just didn’t talk about […]
Bathrooms: a simple bastion of safety in our lives. That one small trip at home, is a small reminder of your safety and the conveniences of a modern life. That same trip in public, for some, becomes an epic test of one’s strength and determination. The bathrooms at UVU are certainly clean. In fact, […]

I’m going to completely honest. I sort of expected UVU’s library to be five floors of unmitigated schlock. I’m not sure if it was the unfortunate reputation Utah Valley University carries, even among some of its own students, as a glorified baby-sitting service for twenty-somethings too mischievous for Brother Brigham’s academic fold. Maybe I […]

The summer of 2011, previously believed to be wide open with possibilities and virtually endless, is coming to a close. Fall semester is looming over all of […]
I commenced my awkward and embarrassingly lengthy attempt at earning a bachelor’s degree 7 years ago, at Brigham Young University. Back then, you will remember, Utah Valley University was known as Utah Valley State College. But, to my fellow Cougars, a large number of this valley’s denizens, and a disheartening amount of the […]
