Ben Rector ‘The Walking in Between’
In honor of the highly-anticipated Cornstock coming up on April 26th, I decided to review Ben Rector’s latest album. Well, first I decided I should listen to it just because he would be there. After he played on my Spotify for two weeks straight, I figured this meant I had some positive opinions on him…
The Age of Stupid
This spring break I travelled on the High Impact Leadership Trip (HILT) to the Everglades in Florida. We learned about water issues concerning the state and climate change that concerns the entire world. One night we watched a film entitled, “The Age of Stupid.” The film is both a documentary and drama that has projected…
‘About Time’
As a young woman in college, I have called upon many a chick flick to distract me from the pile of homework taunting me from inside my backpack. I quickly dubbed one Saturday night a “movie night” when I had nothing to do but my homework, but could not bear to be productive. The movie…
Humans of New York
You may have heard of Humans of New York on the news or through word-of-mouth. Maybe a picture has come up on your news feed on Facebook because one of your friends ‘liked’ it. The project began in 2010 by Brandon Stanton. He had no job, a camera, and an eagerness to take pictures of…
Moe’s Southwest Grill: Fargo-Moorhead’s closest Mexican grill to Chipotle
One of the best things about living in Fargo-Moorhead is the vast array of businesses they have to offer. Coming from a relatively small-town of 10,000, I am amazed at the choices I have whenever I want to go shopping or go out to eat. But let’s be honest, there has always been a large…
Noël by Josh Groban
December has begun and Thanksgiving came obscenely late this year, leaving only twenty-seven days to fit in all of the cookie-baking, caroling, snowman-making, shopping, and Elf-watching that must be done before December 26th. For students, there hardly seems like there’s time to do any of these things in between studying for finals. That’s why, after…
Reading at The Rourke
Literature fans, rejoice! A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending a book reading at the Rourke Art Museum. In the midst of a busy week, spending a few hours away from my homework sounded like as good an offer as any, and this outing opened my eyes to not only one, but…
Pancakes and Pies
Am I the only person in Moorhead who had not experienced Village Inn until this week? Also, am I the only person who just assumed Village Inn was a hotel? At any rate, I have been living in Moorhead for the past two years, ignorantly passing by a restaurant that serves breakfast all day long….
Captain Phillips
Over fall break, my parents and I decided to celebrate their birthdays by going to see Captain Phillips the story of ship that gets invaded by Somali pirates. It was a strange movie choice to celebrate a birthday with but I think we’d all agree it was a good choice. The movie begins with Captain…
