Finding the perfect combination of classes while maximizing your time on campus is a challenge for anyone. Working from a limited number of options makes getting to that desired degree harder every semester it seems. Add in the complications of only coming to school on a Monday Wednesday Friday block or Tuesday Thursday, and you’ll […]
Popular culture is a constantly shifting mire. Trying to wade through and understand the fluid nature of pop culture isn’t exactly easy.
