On April 27th, I went to a lacrosse game over at the Hilbert College.

The score was 8 to 16. Lacrosse has its origins in a tribal game played by eastern Woodlands Native Americans and by some Plains Indians tribes in what is now Canada. The game was extensively modified by European immigrants to…
campus: the football game. The game I am speaking of is the Iowa State game and I hope to give a perspective of what is like to be a player at TCU and how we experience the game. To many, this game was probably very boring because it was at 11 in the morning and we were able to handle our business without much stress.

Gigantic The Hunger Games. A horrible, deadly, despised, yearly event that put 18 tributes up against each other. There were bloody battles, sanity lost screams and dehydrated corpses. I was the unlucky camper this year. Created by the capital, I was a human-like bull named Lord Knossos. Apparently I was supposed to be a warlord, conquering lands for my people. I don't have people, I haven't even seen anyone remotely similar to me. My stature was very buff, with a large upper body and small…
