Opinion
Without a choice or a voice
Shaking, cold, overworked and underinformed. Without hope, without rescue, trapped and alone. I shudder at the thought. Twenty-seven million know a familiar feeling. Yeah, that number is right. Right now, on our planet, there are 27 million trapped in the exhaustive and perilous torments of human trafficking, according to the […]
Yes for Yes
Yes on One. No on One. We’ve all seen the commercials and the signs over the past month. I will go ahead and tell you how I voted so you’ll know where I’m going. I voted Yes on Amendment One concerning abortion. I am in no means for abortion, but […]
There’s an app for that
I swear I hold my iPhone tighter than I hold on to my fiance these days. It does everything, answers everything and holds everything together for my life when I can’t. The thought of losing that rectangular life guide is equivalent to losing a friend. Pathetic, I know. But try […]

If you are able to read this: I may have a job after college
Sometimes, I wonder if I will have a job in the next five years. That is a thought more frightening than the most terrifying haunted house around. As a journalism student, there is a constant nagging, ever-present question. Is print dying? Will my craft ever cease to exist, becoming another […]
Voting on Amendment 1
We have a voice. Let’s use it. We have a choice. Let’s use it. We have a life. It’s debatable. Well, at least that's how our nation views the value of human life, and that’s currently the political situation Tennessee is in. Come Nov. 4, the state of Tennessee has […]
