‘Tis the season for colds, enormous amounts of homework, and little to no sleep. It can sometimes be extremely difficult to get into the holiday spirit when finals are looming right around the corner and your friends are deathly ill after performing six Concordia Christmas Concerts, but the Fargo-Moorhead area has a lot of holiday-themed…
It is no secret that Concordia College’s campus is home to myriad study spots. Various spaces around campus are dedicated to providing students with places where they can focus individually or work in groups. Catered to every sort of learner, each building is home to multiple of these spaces. One of my favorite study spots…
On Thursday, Nov. 9, just before midnight, pop artist Taylor Swift released her sixth album, “Reputation,” to an extremely eager fan base. I can imagine that a lot of people lean one of three ways when it comes to Taylor Swift. There are those of us who adore and support her in a vocal manner…
I, like many other students, faculty, and community members, attended speaker Nadia Bolz-Weber’s event last Thursday as a requirement for my Religion 200 class. And I, like many others that evening, left her message in the Centrum feeling invigorated and full of energy. I do not expect that what Bolz-Weber had to say over the…
Right down the street from Concordia’s campus is a beautiful building home to thousands of the Midwest’s artistic treasures. Open to the public from 1 to 5 p.m. every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, the Rourke Art Gallery and Museum is within walking distance of campus and is completely free for students. Going to art museums…
Last Saturday morning I, along with roughly 60 other Concordia students and faculty, planted 52 trees on the edge of campus as part of a Student Environmental Alliance (SEA) event. As of late, Concordia has been big on ideas of sustainability. Every residence hall on campus has a few eco-reps who give friendly reminders about…
Weekends are dead on campus. On Saturdays and Sundays, it feels like the whole campus is sleeping, preparing for the coming school week. One thing I have heard many of my classmates and friends say is there is nothing to do in Fargo/Moorhead on the weekends. Usually the claim is that unless you are 21…
When I first came to college, reading for leisure was one of the first hobbies of mine to fall by the wayside. One of my favorite things to do in the summer is catch up on all of the books I’ve been dying to read throughout the academic year. I like to read anything and…
On Tuesday, Sept. 12, the band Hippo Campus released an EP album entitled “Warm Glow” to a rather surprised fan base. The EP consists of three new songs, “Baseball,” “Traveler,” and “Warm Glow.” This St. Paul-based indie-rock band dropped their most recent album, “Landmark,” not even a year ago. “Landmark,” unlike this new EP, was…
Who knew there was a place right next to Concordia’s campus with alpacas, vegetables, and hamburgers all in the same place? I certainly didn’t until my lovely roommates dragged my butt out of bed last Saturday morning to check out Fargo’s farmers market, the Red River Market. The three of us rented Cobb Bikes from…
