College is a time where people try new things: partying, new sports, new skills. One of my favorite things to try in college has been new coffee shops. Some of my favorite places around campus include Stella's and Kaladis Brothers Coffee. Last week, I was sitting in my room on... Continue reading

Monday Sniffles

Although it was warm over the weekend when I was in Washington D.C., I immediately caught a cold upon getting back. Due to a combination of the changes in temperature, inconsistent schedules, and being near others who were sick, I seem to have caught the spring bug. While I desperately... Continue reading

First Time in D.C.

All week, it had been warm and sunny in Denver. However, last Thursday, the wind started gusting, the skies turned gray, and the ground turned white. Luckily, I was headed to Washington D.C. for the weekend and was about to escape the cold. On Saturday and Sunday, the DU Debate... Continue reading

Inauguration Weekend with Feminist Friends

Last Friday was inauguration day. Across campus, there were some feelings of joy but a lot of feelings of misery. While some people were happy that we were swearing in a new era of American presidency, many also felt that their rights and their existence were on the brink of... Continue reading

The Debate Grind

Back to school means new classes and new friends, but one thing never changes: Debate practice. Every Wednesday, we meet from 6:00-10:00pm for a long and often tedious debate practice. This practice consists of two back-to-back debate rounds (in other words, we have a month-long, interteam tournament). At the end... Continue reading

The Denver Market

For weeks, I've been searching for a new Canon camera lens. I am slowly trying to develop my photography portfolio and book more shoots. I finally found a Sigma 70-200 Telephoto lens from a Facebook swap group reasonably priced. I decided to meet up with the owner to check it... Continue reading
