  • Its the most wonderful time of the year!

    Christmas is around the corner and with finals almost done, get ready for the most wonderful time of the year. Downtown is all decked out for the festival, and there are a host of events to choose from. Why not start with a tour to see the beautiful Christmas tree in downtown! On the busiest…

    2014 What’s the Resolution?

    By: DeLon Lewis Since you all won’t hear from me until 2014 I thought it would only be right to share my New Year’s resolution here on PSU Chronicles. For 2014, I want to improve my time management skills.  More specifically, I want to be places and turn in assignments early rather than late or…

  • A relentless secret at PSU . . .

    There is a secret held by many a Portland State student, closely guarded, but not really secret; not shameful, but not boasted of. We keep it from others, and ourselves as well.

So when you finally get out of that two-hour lecture, brain-fried and starving, you’ve got options. Mississippi Delta BBQ, right next to the library, or The Local Grind across from the Vue and…

Being a part of such a huge school, it is easy to isolate yourself and go day by day with the same routine. We need people. We need relationships.…

  • There was never enough time.

    Being a full time student and commuting from quite a distance has some straining effects on my time. However, the strains tend to be created out of my choice whether I like to admit or not. One of those strains used to prevent me from working out consistently throughout the week. What is ironic is…

  • To do list: Be happy

    I expected the second year of grad school to be easier. Half the program is under my belt, I have the pattern down, I know what the expectations are…cake walk, right? WRONG. In fact, I feel more overwhelmed than I did this time last year. Perhaps it is because I also have this GIANT 60-100…
