A wise man once said “if you love what you do you’ll never work a day in your life”. Don’t get me wrong, there is a LOT of truth to this statement, but I think you could easily take this wise guy’s saying and apply it to something other than your future career. I think…

For my digital storytelling class last semester, we were asked to create an individual video project. We could pick any topic of our own interest and make a video revolving around that concept.

I was most excited about buying all the completely unnecessary locker decorations and making it as cute as a locker can be. Rugs, chandeliers, and wallpaper were a must. Having a dorm room…

I don’t know about you, but I can be a pretty picky eater, so choosing a school that provided food that I was actually inclined to eat was pretty important for me. The fact that I chose Furman speaks highly of the dining services here on campus.  Personally, my favorite dining option has always been…

I’ve always loved school. I loved the routine. I loved the social aspect. But there was one thing that kept me constantly glancing at the clock it hopes to make it go faster…. MATH & SCIENCE CLASS!  The thing about school is, well, you don’t always get to take the classes that interest you the…
