If you look around in a chapel service, you will be able to quickly identify the students who are not saying the prayers. Some of them may be Jewish or Buddhist, others may be atheist or agnostic may even be Christian. However, since people don’t wear signs around their necks stating what they...

It’s hard to remember a time when my parents weren’t divorced. Since I was four, my brother and I split our time at our two houses, shuttling back and forth every weekend. And since I was four, I’ve known a different normal. Normal, for me, is three seats at the dinner table. It’s Mondays wi...

Some people seem to get really worked up by Valentine’s Day. It’s a day full of candy and teddy bears and love, but nonetheless, there are still those who find a reason to be angry about it.
