For the last four years I have flitted about in your Residence halls, shouted in Anderson Commons, nested in the Atrium, ate far too many Maize fries and purchased obscene amounts of Peace Tea. I have pulled a few too many all-nighters, burned a couple bridges and skipped a couple classes a time or two….

Compete and prove yourself
A game addiction teaches a life lesson Dear Cobbers, I don’t know if any of you are aware, but a new form of procrastination is sweeping the corn nation, and it goes by the name of 2048! I genuinely have never been more competitive about a game in my life. I have never played Farmville,…
Common courtesy: How to be a decent person
My dearest Cobbers, if any of you know me, and know how I act, you may say it is probably in pure spite of the attitude I have had since I was 16 and worked in a Subway. Most of us have had some sort of part-time job in our lives, and I have worked…
Finding joy in the now
Why not knowing the future isn’t a bad thing Dearest Cobbers, especially my seniors. I would like to chat this week about the end. If any of you know me at all, which if you’re reading this you probably do, you know that my personality isn’t exactly average. My whole life I have been the…
Goodbye winter, hello spring
There are very few things I am ready for Cobbers, but right now, spring is one of them, and it is at the top of my list. I cannot even begin to actually articulate the way I am feeling right now. I could cry expectant tears in hopes of grass, sun and weather that doesn’t…
Henagin’s hacks for a happier life
Hey Cobbers! Guess what? It’s spring break…soon. So while all of you will be heading off to wherever Cobbers go to escape this god-forsaken hole of ice, I will be going home for a couple of days. You know, hanging out with a cat and driving through the only stoplight in town. What I always…
Reflections from the MBLGTACC conference
Good morning Cobbers. I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and that your studies are going strong. While I’m sure everyone’s weekends were full of studying, hanging out and other festivities, mine was filled with driving, navigating, and getting to know Kansas City. Why, you might ask? Well for the first time ever I went…
Sexism for sale: The gendered parts of culture we forget
If any of you niblets remember my article from last semester, the one where I talk about hating horror, you’ll know that my threshold for imaginary fear is quite low. You’ll know that not only is there a problem of watching a scary thing, but my imagination is quite vivid and never lets me forget…
Fake it until you make it: No laughing matter
Cobbers, staff and yeoman alike, this article is for everyone. We all have that one habit that makes us want to run through the woods, on fire, into a tree covered in kerosene. You want to know what mine is? The sheer existence of Taylor Swift, but beyond that, it’s fake laughter. I cannot tell…
Making pans to make it count
Why doing what you love doesn’t have to be a bad strategy Welcome back! Everyone’s been in the full swing of school for a couple of weeks, and it dawned on me that I’m on my last semester! My final eighth is upon me, the senior slide is apparent and my classes are core credits….
