Color My World


By Alex Blessing

  I’ve been in and out of several different dorm rooms. There’s always been something in common. It’s not similar bedspreads, or the same decorative carpets, or the same posters. It’s DIY wall art! More specifically, it’s melted crayon art. Melted crayon art seems to be all the rage in college dorms this year. It’s simple, cheap, and easily adds a blast of color to those boring, white cement walls. I made one for my room and it automatically helped add some color into my world. Want to make your own DIY crayon art? Follow these simple instructions: What you need: ·         Newspaper ·         Hair dryer ·         Canvas ·         Crayons ·         Hot glue gun ·         Hot glue sticks What you need to do: READ...

  Fall Out Boy is back, and they’re on fire! After a hiatus, the band is back with vengeance with their new single “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light ‘Em Up)” On November 20th, 2009, the band made an announcement that they would be going on an indefinite hiatus.

I remember singing along to “Dance, Dance” and “Thanks for the Memories.”  When the band broke up, those things really were memories. READ MORE
