Waiting for the Weekend

The game everyone wouldn’t miss, yes due to the loss of every game we seem to always tell ourselves that we were just waiting for playoffs to begin. We did as we all told ourselves. After playing 5 stressful yet fun filled games we all wanted nothing more than our season not to end not at this time and point. We played…

Ain’t Got the Time, Don’t Do the Crime Here at Stephen F. Austin State University, it is nearly a necessity to have the utmost pride and respect for the university, scholars, and faculty. However, there have been numerous accounts when the Community Assistants have failed to show any consideration towards anyone that goes near the front desks -- especially the students. These “assistants”, more commonly known as CA’s, obviously do not care about the students’ concerns, doing such things as…

It was a weekend the girls had been looking forward to for a long time. Phoebe, Betty and Reagan had organized a short camping trip at a state park not far outside of their town. As soon as the choir rehearsal ended on Friday afternoon, the girls hopped into Reagan’s car and began their vacation. All three of the girls were talented and passionate musicians, ranking highly in the top choir and band of their school, and would never dream of missing a rehearsal. After an exciting hour in the car,…

Real White Meat 5. “I don't eat meat,” Tim told me after I stretched my arm across the table and offered him a bite of my burger. The meat peeking out from under the bun, was moist, rare and topped with blue cheese. It was our second date. I put the burger back on my plate, trying to hide it behind our water and beer glasses. I looked at Tim’s meal. A whole-wheat wrap filled with chickpeas and lettuce. It began to make sense. He had suggested Life Alive, a vegetarian…

My brother and I met my step-sister and step-brother when I was four years old. By the time I was five, we were all moving in together as a family. Our situation was even more unique when my brother and I stopped seeing my father on weekends, and my step-siblings lost their mother to a heart attack.

I chose this topic because I know my dad has sleep apnea and I always tried to understand why he always was tired and grumpy even on the weekends after a good amount of sleep and what that device actually does.

April 3, 2013 – the big weekend had arrived. Kate had been nervous about this race since the moment she found out she was in it. The race was called the challenge of champions. High school champions from Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and other states in the south came to run this race to determine who the best of the best it was. Kate was young and new to the sport of track and field. She only had one season under her belt. She was informed about how competitive this race was. “You…

shuffleboard and made-from-scratch chicken and waffles. You put your responsible, ironed, adult pants every day of the week and you deserve a place where ties and khakis are a choice not a requirement. We are that place—and there are untold possibilities waiting for you here. Come and discover for yourself.”. This is what UT needs a place to come discover yourself, a place to go and relax after hours of doing homework and studying. I understand this may be hard to convince the founder to do but…
