Believe it or not, there is more than just corn, potatoes and carrots in Farmville. As a small town, Farmville obviously doesn’t have hundreds of options for food; the helpful part of living in a small town, though, is that almost everything is within walking distance (or deliverable). On campus students ...

If you’re low on money, as the average college student tends to be, ...
Starting college is filled with firsts for many incoming freshmen.

Tom Cruise fans need to cruise themselves on down to the theatre because he is back on the big screen once more with another type-casted role. The film “Oblivion” tells the story of Earth in the year 2077 beginning with Jack Harper, played by Tom Cruise, ...
Episode 14, “The End is Near.” I’m not usually picky about titles, but that one is just too cliché. It is apparent from the opening of the show that Joe is really falling apart; he is mentally, and now physically, ill. It may be because he is watching Ryan Hardy have ...

Brief summary: the episode was made up of some surprising moves from key characters as well as an unexpected body count. The episode ...
It’s the return of our favorite eyeliner-filled band, Fall Out Boy, with their new album “Save Rock and Roll.” This 11-track album brings together an interesting mix of featuring artists that will initially cause listeners to question the legitimacy of its title.
