Last June, Morgan Kent crossed the finish line at the end of the 10k FitSpirit Celebration run, improving on her previous year’s 5k goal. This June, she’ll be returning to the finish line, this time to cheer on the other girls with a camera in hand to catch the moment of, “I did that” - a look of sheer accomplishment and pride on the participants’ faces as it sinks in that they’ve reached their personal goals. The FitSpirit Celebration comes at the end of every 8 to 10 week training program that…

Alternatively, the Cutter All Night Mermen are each unique, and don’t fit the typical athlete mold. T.J. is the only member of the team that has any swimming background. When he was thirteen he “qualified for the Junior Olympics in two swimming events” (7). Despite this, even T.J. isn’t become just another “jock”; he constantly bucks the system at school instead of simply going along with it. Coach Simet puts T.J. in charge of recruiting the rest of the team. His first recruit is Chris Coughlin.…

When I woke up from my sleep I realized that everything around me was white. My clothes, the bed, the walls, and the floors were all the same bland shade of white. I can’t remember a thing and I feel as though I am empty inside. All I hear is the sound of my own breath and my heart pounding in my chest. I slide my legs off the bed and my bare feet touch the cold, sanitized floors. I attempt to stand up, but my legs feel like spaghetti so I collapse back onto the bed. Instead I surveyed my…

The camp is unpleasant and I seem to continually hear the yells of guards or even the screams of others like me. I hoped to find some relief from this agony in the small amount of sleep I am able to receive, but even in my dreams I am haunted. I am also haunted with the view of the outside, and occasionally I find myself lost in thought staring into the outside. To me, the outside seems to be in another world, as if somehow we were transported into this harsh and cruel world. Stuck here I’m…

Every person on UNO campus carry with them an interesting tale that shape who they are and who they will be later on. I gets to interview this unique person and explore a little of her tale. Her name is Alexis Patton. Luckily, I gets to meet her boyfriend, Trung Le, Alexis life changer. Before I gets into her story, she introduces herself as a freshman in college, who struggling financially and academically still have high hope about her future. Alexis story is heart touching because she grows…

It wasn’t unusual for me to hear about guys I were in boarding school with to go home during a break from our studies and return looking to pick fights and cause property damage. Their anger would be short lived, but no one ever held it against them. How could you stay mad at anyone who went home looking to have fun with family and friends and return to school after an engagement party. Yes, matrimonial agreement signings have caused many guys to lose it. Oh, this didn’t happen to everyone who…

In celebration of their latest album “Slow Horse”, Stolen Rhodes stopped through New Jersey’s Timeout Sports Bar on their tour around the nation. The Philadelphian based band is no stranger to this local scene as they’ve played former hotspot for open band jams, Shady Katie’s. Matt Pillion (vocals, various instruments), Kevin Cunningham (guitar), Dan Haase (bass) and Eric Skye (drums) rolled out the night with the first track from the name album “Keeps Me Alive”. What a better way to introduce…

OK, for starters, she did not knock me out. The Gryffin must have when I was talking. OK ..I'm a half-blood... I don't get beat up by girls with sticks. (Natalie is telling me to shut up and tell the story) OK ..it started earlier that day. That day I went to this place called Camp Jupiter to visit my sister, Hazel. I would tell you where it is, but we can't risk anyone trying to find it. I'm sorry but if you tried, the Romans might think your a monster and try to kill you. On that happy thought…

“Well, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, right?” “But he’s a guy!” “Didn’t he fight or somethin’?” “Was he asking for it?” “Mr. Pierce? Mr. Pierce?” The brunette hardly moved, staring out the window as people ran to and fro like busy little ants. A perfect baby blue sky cradled the sun, a bright lemon drop with blinding rays. He sighed, making the therapist start in his seat. With light like that, you could just take a magnifying glass and roast all those ants alive. One, two,…
