I’d love to say my time at Wesleyan has been all rainbows and unicorns — that there have been hardly any bumps in the long road of working for The Rambler and completing the post bachelor’s program I applied for in early 2010. However, that’s just not the case. There have been bumps, hurdles and thunderstorms to [...]
GSA puts forth efforts to bring bullying awareness to forefront
There are many types of bullying. Types include emotional, verbal, physical, social exclusion, indirect, relational and cyber bullying. Many might think of a big, tall, mean, huge young child pushing down someone in the playground. However, bullying extends past the childhood and the adolescent stage. This also goes to types of bullying and abuse that [...]
Exercise combats stress of final exams
It’s about that time again. The school year is almost over, which means the summer is just around the corner. But before we start partying and going crazy — that also means it’s time for exams. I know most of us, myself included, are not looking forward to these days. It almost feels like some scary movie, [...]
Budget cuts bring new plans for Rosedale Street
Eliana Mijangos emmijangos@txwes.edu I am relieved to know President Slabach has plans to revamp the campus in reaction to this budget cut. Slabach said all funds for revamping would come from fundraising efforts as well as a $1.8 million grant from the Council of Governments. After speaking with Slabach, I feel he is on the [...]
Alcohol policies may soon change at Wesleyan
Just because a person over 21 decides to live on campus doesn’t mean he or she doesn’t want to enjoy a drink in the comfort of home ever again. It also doesn’t mean that same person doesn’t want to enjoy a drink or two with a few friends watching the Super Bowl in that same [...]
Wesleyan scholarship disbursement questioned
In today’s society, most students who are pursuing a higher education can’t afford to take on the entire cost of college tuition. Yes of course there are loans, grants and limited scholarships, but the keyword to that is limited. For high school students, working on those SAT scores are imperative. For college students remaining active [...]
Music proves inseparable from fashion
Music and fashion, a lot like love and marriage as Sinatra put it, are inseparable. Artists such as Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry and Ke$ha have made some of the most memorable fashion statements on the red carpet. The use of fashion has dominated not only the music scene but on the runways of [...]
Teacher’s relationship with student ends just as expected
I’m a big believer in the saying “age is but a number.” So many times I’ve seen adults do things most people believe to be things a first grader might do. Then there are those times when a 7-year-old seems to know more than most adults we know. However, in the case of Jordan Powers, [...]
Death of teen inspires second thoughts on justice
By now, I’m sure many of you have heard about the Trayvon Martin incident. For those of you who haven’t, last month, Trayvon Martin was a 17-year-old who was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch volunteer named George Zimmerman. Zimmerman thought the teenager, who was walking back to his dad’s fiancé’s house after visiting [...]
Spinoff reality shows leave much to be desired in most cases
There isn’t a single thing funnier than a middle-aged dance instructor riling up a group of other middle-aged moms to the point of lawsuits. Except, perhaps there soon will be. Lifetime is jumping on the spinoff reality show bandwagon with its new show Dance Moms: Miami (a spin-off of Dance Moms, currently [...]
