Here are my takes on the three slates presidential candidates that I concluded after watching the live streamed debates, reading their platforms and personal experience:
This year’s Student Government Association (SGA) election features three slates running with a total of 38 platform points between them, each with its own personality, passion and problems.
As we participate in Ball State University’s Centennial Celebration, we are reminded of how much good Ball State has done for its students.
It’s that time of year again, Ball State. It’s time to elect a new executive slate for the Student Government Association. You have a big decision to make, one which will impact how SGA operates during the next school year and potentially for years to come.
Student. Government. Association.
The comment was aggressive, that is true, but did not target the player’s sexuality, gender, nationally, religion or background in any way, shape or form. So what’s the big deal?
Hates crimes are on the rise across the country, and that is being felt right here in Indiana. An FBI report released in 2017 states that hate crimes rose 17 percent compared to the prior year.
Nothing says “Catholic family” quite like five kids plus pets, in-laws and grandkids. Also known as my family. Good job mom and dad!
There’s no doubt that the National Football League (NFL) is the leader in all of the United States and world in american football. Bringing in $13 billion a year, the league is not only the biggest money maker in the country, but the world.
“I love you” is a term I have said the most to people who aren’t my romantic partner. Ever since I was a child these words have referred to my friends, my family and even my roommate. Yet as I got older I learned that these habits are almost always overshadowed by a completely different context: romance.
Breath in for four counts, hold for four counts and exhale for four counts. Clench your toes and relax. Clench your teeth and relax. Clench your fists and relax. Remember to stay still and breathe slowly. Close your eyes and picture a moment that makes you happy, a concert that changed your life or a person you love. This helps me cope. This is how I get through the day in one piece. But it does not stop the panic attacks from happening.
I am currently in a state of becoming. I am moving toward a better me.
In the past few weeks and days, I have looked at the recent government shutdown, the division it has caused and I can’t help but notice the blatant disregard for facts, logic and reality. I am not a fan of President Trump, but this goes far beyond that. This goes for his supporters.
I watched this year’s Super Bowl. I saw New England’s defense dominate the entirety of the game. I saw Julian Edelman become the only bright spot in either offense. I saw the horrible halftime show. I saw Los Angeles punt on nine of its 12 possessions. I saw Bill Belichick and Tom Brady win their sixth ring together. What I didn’t see was the team that most deserved to be playing on the NFL’s biggest stage: the New Orleans Saints.
I have experienced both fat and skinny shaming, and both are equally damaging.
I’ve been hearing a lot recently about this new Ted Bundy movie starring Zac Efron, “Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile,” along with the controversy over his portrayal and the surging interest in the Bundy case following Netflix’s release of “The Ted Bundy Tapes.”
A journalist is a journalist. Put “student” in front of journalist and nothing changes — we are journalists. On Student Press Freedom Day, hosted by the Student Press Law Center (SPLC), we reflect on why student press is important and needs to be protected.
Talks of soldiers getting frostbite were quickly spreading across the different companies that day. It was 3-5 degrees outside in South Korea, at best.
