“The gun control proposals President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden issued are for the better.” That is a bold statement because I come from an area where everyone has guns, either for protection or for hunting purposes.
We will all forever remember Dec. 14, 2012. This was the day 20-year-old Adam Lanza drove to Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Ct.

Pennsylvania has experienced a 15.5 percent increase in children in poverty. Not only is this attribute affecting families and children at home, but it is taken to the classroom as well.
I am slowly reaching that point in the semester where I feel I have created a rut for myself. I have done away with checking what classroom number my classes are in.
When I was little, creativety came easily. All I asked to recieve for Christmas, my birthday or even Easter was paper, colored pencils, crayons and markers. All I ever wanted to do was draw, color and write. When little, children make up imaginary friends, events that happen and stories in their heads. I see this all the time with my three nephews. But why do we lose that? Obviously we do not walk around with imaginary friends that get us in trouble like in the movie, “Drop Dead Fred,” but you get the picture.
I am sure that everyone has heard of the new MTV show, “Buckwild.” To be honest, I wish I never had.
Shippensburg is the city that sleeps. The meager excitement lasts from a few hours after sunrise to a couple hours after sunset every night.
All around campus, the sound of cascading bricks, shattering glass and growling bulldozers can be heard invading the quiet and serene campus to which we have grown accustomed.
Last week my friend and I joined each other for lunch in Reisner Dining Hall. She got two bananas and an apple to enjoy when we heard someone’s voice say, “Excuse me, Miss?” It was a man who works in Reisner, calling for my friend’s attention to tell her that the food on our table could not leave the buidling.
Last Friday we all experienced the first snowstorm of the new semester here at Shippensburg. I hate winter. I hate snow.

Dr. Richard T. Hise, Professor Emeritus of marketing at Texas A&M University and a former Shippensburg University professor, recently wrote a book titled, “A Christian View of the War Against Islam.” In the book, Hise uses the Bible in an attempt to explain the current conflict in the Middle East and argues that God will eventually resolve the threat of radical Islam.
We live our lives with the intention to make things as convenient as possible. We drive the shortest and fastest routes and walk the shortest and quickest paths to our destinations. As college students, I know most of us plan the exact amount of time it takes to get from rooms to classrooms, with time to spare.
As I start my second semester of my sophomore year, I cannot help but start to feel nostalgic. I understand this may seem premature, however, I do.

According to an email sent out by the former Seavers Apartments residence director, every student will be charged $10 for the cost of the damages at the end of the semester.
I love Shippensburg University; however, I hate finals week. I cannot express words to formulate my hatred for this upcoming, god awful week.
The hardest transition for me when I came to college was learning to live with someone. I have never shared a room with a sibling at home, and I expected the worst. I have a very strong personality and if you do not mesh with it, problems tend to occur; but I am very kind and honest. I like to think of new things and beginnings as something great.
