Walgreens has always been my one stop shop for plenty of things. From shampoo to paper towels to snack foods, Walgreens is basically my key to survival during the school year. It wasn't until recently, however, that I realized how great of a selection of beauty products the store carries. And high-quality brands for affordable prices at that! READ MORE

Dear Columbia, When I first stepped on your campus at the beginning of my sophomore year, I did not know what was in store for me. I honestly felt like Whitney Port (from "The Hills"/"The City") going to a different city, not knowing anyone, and pursuing my dreams. My three years here have been something. I’ve met people I never thought I would meet, made friends that I will never forget, became more of an art lover and grew up to be the person that I am today. READ MORE

My summers used to consist of packing up two enormous duffel bags and heading off to my beloved overnight camp in northern Wisconsin for two months. I was barely home before school started again in the fall. However, 4 years ago, I ended my camping career and tried out summer life at home. At first, it was rough. I longed to be with the rest of my camp friends and felt like I was missing out on all of the amazing activities that one could partake in at camp. But slowly, each summer, it got easier to be at home during the summer months.  READ MORE

Recently, I’ve been reading “Long Walk to Freedom: The Autobiography of Nelson Mandela,” which is a phenomenal and eye-opening read.  It doesn’t invoke self-pity of any kind like one might think but helps readers to dissect the root of hate, racial tensions and a life many in this generation couldn't fathom.  READ MORE
