‘Crash Into Me’

I have counted approximately 21 scrapes and bruises on my legs, possibly more. I have been through many (let’s just say) ups and downs with my new campus vehicle, the beach cruiser. Getting around on some type of wheel is almost essential on the Tempe campus.

The Best in Free Blogging

Between the Facebooks and Twitters of the world that let people connect to each other on the Internet, I bet you’re wondering what the point is of having a blog.

Hiking Around Town

We aren’t going very far down the road this week. Instead, we’ll take a look at some places around town where you can escape into the desert without ever leaving the city.

Hiking Red Rock Country

Sedona is without question one of the most scenic regions of the entire country and it happens to be only two hours away from the ASU Tempe campus. (Shuttle companies are available for students without a car.) I highly recommend all students get up there, even just for a day, before they leave ASU.

Urban Cookies

Let's face it, life in downtown Phoenix can be stressful at times. With being a commuter and a college student, I am faced with traffic, the fear of being late for class, overwhelming amounts of homework and the occasional coffee spilled down the front of my shirt (when your mind is elsewhere things can happen). However, I believe that stress should be matched with a reward — ya know, something to make you feel better after you've finished learning about the art of writing headlines in detail for the last hour. Rewards are actually one of my favorite things, and have made my college experience a little more enjoyable.

MacAlpines Soda Fountain

Recently I discovered my new favorite vintage shop in downtown Phoenix, MacAlpines Soda Fountain. Now, I know you must be thinking, why is there a vintage store in a soda fountain shop?

Behind 'The Room'

On Friday night, I attended the Love is Blind Tour at MADCAP Theaters. The tour is a showing of "The Room" with special guests Tommy Wiseau, director, writer and lead actor ("Johnny") and supporting actor Greg Sestero ("Mark"). Before I went to the movie, I had only seen the trailer, so that was my only point of reference.

In Defense of 'Daredevil'

Let's start this from the top. The year was 2003. Our spry young blogger was just an emo doofy middle schooler.

How To: Join an Intramural

Signing up for an intramural team at Arizona State University may seem like a challenge. There are so many different sports to choose from, and it's not often clear what you have to do to join.

Create Life: The Banzerini House Opens in Phoenix

Inspirational phrases accent the fire-engine red and lime green walls. The carefree laughter of children echoes down the vivid orange hallway. A bit farther down the hall is a brick wall with names of people who've donated time or money.
