This last Saturday, 11/2/13, I attended my first Fontbonne dance. I had asked my best friend Corie how the last dance was. She told me that she had fun. I decided to go with her and some other friends. I didn’t know what to expect since it was at the City Museum. I was a [...]

Is It Winter Break Yet?

by Corie October 25, 2013

I am so ready for winter break like you would not believe. I have been stressed probably since week 4 or 5. Luckily I dedicate Thursday nights to go out with friends and unwind. Since I am not from St. Louis it is interesting to go to different places downtown. The experience is great and [...]

The Hunt

by Holly October 23, 2013

And here, a few tales of the idiots that run apartment complexes: The High-Rise Guy: We went through the whole sha-bang: call up, set up an appointment, discuss pricing, etc. This place was in the Central West End.

The Search for an Apartment

by Holly October 23, 2013
