The Collegian

Column: Here’s to the mundane

Collegian Staff • April 26, 2013

What are the moments that comprise our deepest formulation of senior sappiness? What makes up that sentimentality that oozes out of even the best of us at this time in our lives?

All of you “Greenvillians” or probably any South Carolinian knows that the weather here is about as constant as a junior high dating relationship (and those of you from elsewhere are quickly learning this fact).

Column: What do we love?

Collegian Staff • April 12, 2013

When I was growing up, my greatest fear was not under my bed, in my closet or at the front door — it was outside. Several large dogs had come to have free rein where I lived, and they terrorized all the neighborhood children. I had always been a dog lover, but a one-dog lover.

Column: Getting to the top of the mountain

Collegian Staff • April 5, 2013

God will guide me up, and when I reach the top and look back, I won’t regret learning to trust Him. I will be better prepared for the next mountain.

Column: Role models

Collegian Staff • April 5, 2013

As Christians, we can see the danger of putting athletes on pedestals because we understand man’s sinful condition. Instead of making athletes into role models based on the success of their careers or their popularity, we should appreciate athletes who lead upstanding lives — especially Christian athletes with an unashamed testimony for Christ.

Column: March Madness

Collegian Staff • March 29, 2013

March is almost over, and another wild month of our favorite college basketball tournament is wrapping up. As usual, it's historic, unprecedented and magical.

Column: Chinese culture

Collegian Staff • March 29, 2013

The smells wafting around me on the day I stepped out of the Shanghai airport will forever be etched in my memory. The faces of the people surrounding me were unlike my own.

Column: Jayhawks

Collegian Staff • March 22, 2013

Eleven years ago on Feb. 24, 2002, the television was on in my parents' bedroom as my family was preparing to leave for church. I, as a 12-year-old, stood in front of the set and watched a basketball game between the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Kansas Jayhawks.

Column: Masks

Collegian Staff • March 22, 2013

Call me odd, but I love riding the subway whenever I'm in New York City over break.

Column: FAQ’s

Collegian Staff • March 14, 2013

What's on your FAQ list? We have all seen the "frequently asked questions" sections on websites, but all of us have our own personalized lists of FAQs.

Column: Healthy eating

Collegian Staff • March 8, 2013

I've never been one to go on a "health kick." I used to hold the impression that people who ate only organic, all-natural foods free of genetically modified organisms genuinely thought that high fructose corn syrup was nasty stuff killing our insides.

Column: Memories

Collegian Staff • March 8, 2013

There are few memories that remain in our minds more vividly than adventures, excursions and mishaps that happen between fathers, sons and brothers.
