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…
As you probably all know, the 86th Academy Awards took place last Sunday. The awards were hosted by Ellen DeGeneres, her first time hosting the awards in seven years. There were some really incredible movies nominated this year, with very few categories having obvious front-runners. The film that ended up winning Best Picture was 12…
One century ago and not far away, Fargo built its second fire station at 916 Main Avenue. Since its decommissioning, the firehouse has played host to a variety of establishments – boxing training, a soup kitchen, a Native American cultural center. Little did it know that one day, 916 Main Ave would become the home…
On my birthday in 2010, a hot air balloon landed in my grandparent’s field on their farm and after being rudely awakened, being forced to dress quickly, and racing across the yard, I was able to cross off “Fly in a Hot Air Balloon” on my bucket list. Ever since that day, I have wanted…
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…
“Some of this actually happened.” Thus intriguingly opens American Hustle, nominated for 10 Academy Awards this year, including Best Picture. An amazingly complex film, the plot revolves around Irving Rosenfeld (Christian Bale), a con-man who finds himself, along with his business partner/mistress Sydney (Amy Adams) working with FBI agent Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper) in order…
The first time I rode the Matbus, I was a mass transportation idealist, envisioning golden days of blissful bus rides across town. Then, following a 40-minute one-way trip to the Moorhead Target, I was a cynic. Apparently, efficiency here in Fargo-Moorhead belongs to those with vehicles, and car-less college students must be condemned to a…
Young The Giant stepped out on the scene in 2010 with their debut self-titled album. With just one album the band was able to make a statement and get their music out there while under Roadrunner Records. Hailing from Irving, Calif. the indie rock group’s hit singles off the album “My Body,” and “Cough Syrup,”…
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…
I’m sure almost everyone on campus has seen Disney’s Frozen by now, but did you know there is a Sing-Along version currently playing at Century Theater in Fargo? I went to see the Frozen Sing-Along with my roommates over the weekend and had a blast. The audience at the matinee showing I attending consisted of…
