    I AM A CREATURE OF HABIT

    By: Sharon Nellist This is it. Ten more days until… FINALS WEEK. I am usually of mixed emotions during this time: glad that the workload will be placed on a brief hold, and sentimental over the ending of classes that I truly enjoyed. I had the privilege of taking a course in which the grade…

  • Navigating PSU as a Student of Color

    At one point, I was a freshman, eager to go to my first university class, but not knowing what to expect. Inexperienced and with no siblings who had gone through the college life before, I was all on my own.

  • When I Grow Up

    He grinned at me from atop my desk, and I burst into giggles. “Oh, wow!”, I exclaimed.
