Kill 'Em With Kindness: The presence of others brings personal strength
Jan. 11, 2012Recently, a friend of mine and I had a falling-out. We had been friends for around 13 years and had never enjoyed anyone’s presence as much as each other. I guess the saying, “Distance will make or break your friendship” is true. I also believe in the saying, “Time heals everything.”
Let's Be Unreasonable Here: Nature cures urge with gender-neutral animals
Jan. 11, 2012It’s blue for boys. It’s pink for girls. It’s green for gender-neutral environments. And now, it’s orange for choose-the-gender-that-you-need-for-dominance.

Let's Be Unreasonable Here: History's dirty secrets hide behind nursery rhymes
Jan. 4, 2012At first glance, nursery rhymes seem childish, with nonsensical meanings hardly worth another look. I myself listened to them for years as a child, and all they solicited from me were a few laughs. After all, no sane mind would feed innocent children anything other than innocuous nonsense. Right?
Kill 'Em With Kindess: Showing respect for someone goes a long way
Jan. 4, 2012How many of you have ever been interrupted while telling a story you were excited to tell? Or maybe discriminated against for whatever reason? Or even, let’s go way back, picked last on the playground? I can safely bet every person has felt disrespected at least twice in his or her lifetime, and we’re not even truly into the “real world” yet.
When in Athens... Wait What Should I Do?
Jan. 2, 2012Where I come from, kids usually learn to drive tractors before learning to ride bikes. You can’t walk down the street without someone asking if you need a ride, and using the phrase “sex education” usually causes a local to blush. Yes, I come from Small Town America, more specifically Orrville, Ohio, and to me Ohio University was an eye-opener. It did not take long for OU to give me the wake-up call that most of us need to enjoy the ride — I am definitely not in Kansas anymore. Athens is no New York City, but there’s plenty of material here for me to make a list of ten signs that told me I was in a whole new world.

Life Lessons from Melissa: When giving thanks, remember why we're here
Nov. 14, 2011Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. There is football, my dad’s “eating pants,” food, my “eating pants” and jellied cranberry sauce (which is delicious but not really food). It is a day full of family, laughter and snide remarks about my family that result in laughter and naps.
Between The Lines: Greek life can be healthy addiction if used properly
Nov. 13, 2011I’m exaggerating the dramas of my sorority sisters at our annual country-dance last year, when my crush puts his finger to my lips. He’s silencing my gossiping tongue and my inner girl.
