The key to college success

By Samantha Noviello

For every college student, new experiences will happen. We are here to get our degrees, make some new friends and enjoy the time in college before we step into the real world. Transitions from being in high school to being in college are hard, along with the transition into a new year just from being home for summer break. Stress starts to build and people quickly start to crumble under the pressure. Before you know it, you are sitting in the library behind the books, mind blown and feeling so overwhelmed. But what is really on your mind?

Fashion makes women strong

By Ana Guenther

I remember Valentine’s Day 2006. This sounds like a random date and well, it is. I fell in love but not with a boy but something of an entirely different nature.

From fist pumps to breast pumps

By Ana Guenther

Mark it down in history. August. 25, 2012 was the cry heard around the world. Yes everyone, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi gave birth to her 6 pound, 5 ounce bouncing baby boy at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingstone, N.J., just before 3 a.m.

Beauty is not only skin deep

By Samantha Noviello

One day, I want to live in a world without mirrors. Without mirrors, people would not be forced to stare at the imperfections of their bodies and people would be happier.

Unhealthy world creates unhealthy people

By Greg Pearson

“Back to school. Back to school, to prove to Dad that I’m not a fool.” If that is not a classic song, I do not know what is. In case you are unaware, this song is Adam Sandler’s “back to school” song which he sang as Billy, the main character from Billy Madison. Whether you are trying to prove to your dad that you are not a fool, or you are just looking to better yourself in finding a job in the real world, the reality of it all is that the school year of 2012 to 2013 has just kicked off. By the way, what is the next line to that song? I think it goes something like, “I got my lunch packed up.” That reminds me, the start of the school year means that I have to start eating school food again. Now that is something that I am not all that excited about. And this has nothing to do with the lunch ladies, the cooks or anyone else who is involved with the school meals. Everyone who serves the students and faculty are all wonderful people and I really appreciate everything they do for us. The problem really comes down to the fact that the food is unhealthy.

SU community and students helping others in need

By Samantha Noviello

Shippensburg University has a lot to offer its students, but some aspects really stand out to the public. Like many schools, clubs and organizations, raising money to help people in need is a top priority. Not only does this look good by a school or organization, but it also feels really good to help out someone less fortunate than many. Being someone who has lost multiple people in life because of cancer and other fatal diseases, the vast amount of fundraising and support from the community and students of SU makes me proud to say I attend here.

Make me pay more?

By Samantha Noviello

You want to know what I do not understand? Why middle- and lower- class people strive their whole lives to earn the money they have and sometimes, only break even, when millionaires are living large on their extraordinary incomes and we are all paying the same taxes.

Apple denies e-book price-fixing accusation

By Katrina Panasiuk

iWant…iNeed..an iPad? Not so fast. If Apple loses the e-book lawsuit vs. the Department of Justice for alleged price fixing, Amazon will be left in complete control of the electronic- book publishing industry. For the every day person, this might not be anything more than two leading affiliates of the electronic industry, Apple and Amazon, butting heads in a competition war.
