I recently wrote this review for Hope’s on-campus newspaper, The Anchor. Being an editor, I’m often asked questions about the types of submissions we’re looking for. Normally we only ask for 500 words, but we can usually fit a story that’s up to 750 words. For a better idea, check out my review of Thor: …

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire – Review
Like so many of you probably already have, I spent my Saturday night at the movie theater watching The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. After being overall disappointed with the books, I went into the first movie extremely skeptical, but I came out of the theater delightfully surprised. I’m sorry to say that the sequel did …
Happy Halloween, and Happy November!
Well, I guess it had to come to an end at some point. Halloween’s officially over and gone with it is the month of October. November is alright… I guess. Aw, who am I kidding? It’s going to be a long, long winter. Anyways, I figured I’d help battle my post-October depression by writing about …

Count Chocula Returns To Phelps
Alright, look, I know it’s cool to give Phelps some heat on their food quality, but I think it’s pretty fair to say that they completely deliver for the month of October every year. If you haven’t guessed what I’m talking about yet, it’s the wonderful cereal that is Count Chocula. Originating in 1971, Count …

Wilderness Sabbatical: My Saturday Excursion
I woke up at 8:00 AM this past Saturday, and I quickly realized I had nothing to do. I had homework, of course, but I have a personal rule of never doing homework on Saturdays, so I hopped in the shower and rode my bike down to the local Farmers Market. I expected the trip …
