	You can even have a pet squirrel By Hannah Ball April 26, 2013 - 12:10am Imagine a college where standardized testing doesn’t exist. Classes are optional and there’s no pressure to graduate in four years. You get to assign your own homework and create your own personal grading system. Instead of living in dorms where the carpet smells like pee and weed, we’d all live in tree houses. Imagine an institute where your worth isn’t determined by your grades and you wouldn’t have to sign over your soul when you pay tuition. Think about attending a college where freethinking and communication is more important than test-taking abilities. You can have any pets you want, even a squirrel. READ MORE
	School is my boyfriend By Sara Czarnecki April 22, 2013 - 8:00am It’s true. I am in a relationship with school. It takes up all my time, like a boyfriend would. It screws me over sometimes, a like a boyfriend would. It has no respect for my personal time, like a boyfriend does. And yet, school makes me want to be something, like a boyfriend would. It makes me want to show off what I have learned in the most positive ways, like a boyfriend would. It makes proud when I have accomplished sometime I thought I could not, like a boyfriend would. School is always there for me when I feel like giving up, like a boyfriend would be. It’s remarkable how an educational institution can be so closely related to the frustrations and love given by a significant other. READ MORE
	Keep calm and go natural By Jessica Rico April 18, 2013 - 8:00am All women, and sometimes even men, know how it feels to have a bad hair day. Those days can seem like the most frustrating ones in your life. They can start your day off badly and at times they will become the deciding factor on whether or not you'll go out that night. Personally, I used to think that I had a bad hair life. I would get so discouraged when I couldn't figure out what to do with my hair. So, I started to hate it no matter what I did. I would stare at girls with perfectly long, straight hair and admire how it just hung effortlessly. But it got to the point where I'd even start to admire anyone's hair that was perfectly placed in a ponytail, bun or braid because my hair would never look that put together....

	Insta-ettiquite By Jessica Rico April 15, 2013 - 8:00am I will be the first to admit that I may be addicted to Instagram. I without a doubt I check my timeline every day, usually multiple times a day. In my defense, I think it's because I love pictures so much. I know I am not the only one who has a little bit of an obsession with Instagram. It's a great social network to share pictures and an even better social network to allow your friends to know a little more about you. There is still a part of me that is convinced it was made for nosy people who live vicariously through their followers. READ MORE
	Newest WMU Twitter Obsession By Megan Bierhalter April 8, 2013 - 11:26pm What’s the WMU students’ latest obsession? The new account on Twitter called WMU Confessions. The account was created recently and has since gained so many followers it’s unreal.

	Life Lessons from Public Transportation By Sara Czarnecki March 13, 2013 - 4:32pm It’s easy to take having a car for granted. Having the option to drive whatever you want on a moments’ notice is wonderful. But what if one day you don’t have a car anymore and have to not only figure out the bussing system, but also have to figure out how to change your entire schedule around catching the bus? That’s what happened to me. At the beginning of January I had to start taking the bus everywhere. Luckily, I don’t go anywhere really important, but I quickly learned two things; how wrong my idea of the public transport was, and that the bus is unpredictable. READ MORE
