I get lots of ideas for things I just have to make happen. If my inner monologue was a physical entity that people could touch and feel it would look like a Hallmark card and talk in cheesy never-give-up clich and eacute;s. I am very passionate abo...

When you drive through downtown Ottawa, you will notice something different this year. and nbsp; In the windows of most of the businesses on Main Street, there are signs supporting OU and showing pride for being a part of Ottawa. These signs w...

Actions speak louder than words. If you're going to talk the talk, you have to walk the walk. Put your money where your mouth is. Practice what you preach. Faith without action is dead. If I say I believe something but don't act on it, then w...

Sometimes I find it hard to have expectations. and nbsp; I think it's the realist in me. Or maybe it's that I want to be surprised, I want to be proven wrong. and nbsp; I have these standards in my head, things I've wanted, things I've tried and fa...

Ask around and you may get the sense that the community and OU aren't completely tied together. and nbsp; But why is this? and nbsp; A lack of students concern for local businesses? and nbsp; Locals' lack of concern for the University? and nbsp; T...

Wow. I'm a senior. Double wow. I'm (hopefully) graduating in a few weeks. Where did this all begin? January of last year I was fresh out of studying abroad in Australia and knew only one thing: I did not want to go another semester at Baker University. ...

At the end of my first year in college, there are a ton of things to look back on. I was able to be a part of a really good football team, met a lot of new friends and experienced life on my own for the first time. and nbsp; It's really exciting to go to...

I was told it'd be lonely at the top. But, I refused to believe it. When I got the position of editor-in-chief of The Campus newspaper, I knew I'd have a lot of responsibility ahead of me. Was I ready? I'm not sure, but I was excited. There were a lot o...

Growing up I always read the newspaper to keep myself informed, however, I didn't think I would become involved in telling the news. Sitting in my high school newspaper class writing my review of the latest Flee the Seen concert or assessing Weezer's new...

When I started college, I thought I wanted to do journalism. I went back and forth for a while. I basically spent my first two years jumping majors and ended up with an associate's degree in general studies. I had written a few entertainment reviews f...

Some people may find it scary to look into the future. and nbsp; While that may be true, it's sometimes necessary. The future of The Campus newspaper will be much like the present. and nbsp; Having a and lsquo;sexy' layout is one change made this year t...

All of us have things that we choose to share about ourselves. We also have things that we don't want known. Sometimes these are habits we don't want people to know about, or we simply don't want people to know everything about us if we aren't close to t...

I like a little mystery in life. I think it's intriguing. and nbsp; I tend to get really overwhelmed when I meet someone and they share too much information with me right away. I feel like a friendship, or a relationship should be built off of a balance ...

Since the students have arrived back on campus from spring break I have noticed a lot of construction and concrete replacement being done. The first thought that came to my mind is, where is the University getting this money to pay for every single piec...

Have you ever sat down and actually read Ecclesiastes? I'm here to tell you, even if you're not a Christian you should check it out. I thought daytime television could be depressing, but Ecclesiastes is in a league of its own. For much of the book, the...

As we all know by now, Martin Hall will be a Co-Ed dorm next year. and nbsp; and nbsp; I do not think this is a bad idea at all. and nbsp; With me being a resident there I know some people do not like the idea of the only all girls dorm becoming co-ed, ...

No one knows it all. As journalists, we sure wish that we did, though. As students at Ottawa University, we mostly just want to be informed of the things happening on campus that involve us, no matter how small or unimportant they may seem to the OU admi...

When it comes to movies I almost don't have any preference to which method of madness to embark on for my escape from reality. I watch loads of movies in theaters every year, I have thousands of DVDs and I even have a few Blu-rays despite not having a B...

I can't bear to watch a movie for the first time and give it back. Heck, I can barely leave a movie theater without wanting to immediately go back and buy another ticket. To me, a movie is so much more than something to watch. Each one means something. ...

In today's economy, there are very few things that you can pay a dollar for and get two hours of entertainment and enjoyment out of. and nbsp; Redbox is the exception. Having five locations within Ottawa, Redbox is the most feasible option for watching ...
