What is time to a fool like me... What is it you think you see Give it a moment You too will believe Believe in the illusion of liberation The walls of Hume's fork It is the warmth of the star that caresses your skin The rhythm of the nearest track that drowns your ears It is the sweetness to...
Confessions
Jarata Jaffa, staff writer
April 18, 2017
How do you feel when you wear makeup? Did you feel good? Did you feel pretty? Does it make your confidence go from 0 to A1? Now, why do you wear makeup? Had I asked myself all these questions at the age of 13, I would have put the brush down and said "stop! You’re pretty just...

April 17, 2017
What could be better for a college student than a cheap, filling, delicious, and convenient meal? Nothing. That's why I think the Original Pancake House is the right for college students. As an avid customer, I absolutely love this place. It's close to campus and the food is filling and inexpensive....
Triggers
April 3, 2017
Steam shot out of the black kettle along with a high-pitched squeal that echoed throughout the apartment. I saw the steam hitting the eggshell-white wall behind the stove and condense into droplets, then build, until they gathered and ran down in streaks. I stood there, my palm gripping the handle of...
The Eye’s In the Devil’s Scheme
March 30, 2017
I’ve walked this abyss for millennia Perplexed by the sanctions placed on these prisoners of society Shackled to fear of uncertainty Sentenced to silence by the concept of morality Blindfolded by the demon of orthodoxy None of them could see . . . Neither would they belie...

Institutionalized Insanity
Daniel Sharivan
March 3, 2017
Controlled with “I’m not good enough” and I’m not proud to admit it, institutionalized, I keep trying to forget it, so what? My mind is really distorted; I find nothing but trouble in my life. Unfortunate, I believe in a dream. This orphanage we call education is quite a routine. False perceptio...
Review of Paladar Latin Kitchen
Jarata Jaffa, Entertainment Section Director
February 1, 2017
Paladar can be summed up in 7 words: a party any time of the day! The warm welcoming of the smiles on the employees and the speed at which they sat me down foreshadowed an awesome dining experience. This restaurant is relatively new and has been open for only two years. This is an east coast food...
Treasures In the Void
February 1, 2017
The pinnacle of fear lies in the sight of the sea of ignorance Upon which we are blinded by its piercing glimmer Deafened by its monstrous tremor it is, and always will be, the greatest terror Because within it, is the uncertain, the irrational Within it lies the cold, the reality of both...

‘You’re white’–The Cultural Struggle of Ethnic Stereotypes
January 24, 2017
Oreo, possibly the most blatant term utilized to describe an African-American who does not fit the stereotype or more importantly, an African-American who behaves "white." Sure, when said jokingly, I can jump up and down and giggle in amusement, but it has to stop. Although I am an American, I tend...
