On Monday, February 6, Matt (who’s last name was asked to be kept anony­mous) launched the Ferris State Memes page. After shar­ing a few of the ini­tial memes, things got rolling, and fast.

With more than 1000 likes and 300 sub­mis­sions overnight, Matt had struck inter­net gold, get­ting the idea from other recent uni­ver­sity meme pages. The page now has over 3,000 likes.

If there is one thing school, fam­ily, life and love have taught me, it’s this: You can’t change any­one but yourself.

Time and time again, I’ve caught myself in a frus­trated self-dialogue or vent­ing to a friend some­thing along the lines of “why can’t she just…” or “why is he so…” Well, you fill in the blank. (more…)

According to an arti­cle by Food Safety News, McDonald’s recently announced it would no longer use ammo­nium hydrox­ide beef in its ham­burg­ers. Referred to as a “pink slime” addi­tive, the ammo­ni­ated beef was pop­u­larly used in school lunches and pet foods.

Make this Valentine’s Day extra spe­cial (and cost-effective) by prepar­ing a deli­cious meal at home with your sweetheart.

If you’re any­thing like me, the kitchen is a pretty for­eign room where you go to fill up your water fil­ter. My idea of seri­ous cook­ing is adding ham­burger meat to my mac­a­roni and cheese. (more…)

“The rea­son why I like inves­tiga­tive jour­nal­ism is because I believe you are enti­tled to the truth,” Elrick said. “We believe there are two sides to every story.” (more…)

The men’s and women’s track teams returned from a two week break and found them­selves in Geneva, Ohio, for the Division II team chal­lenge hosted by the University of Findlay.

“You know, what can you say? It’s one of the nicest things any­one can do for you,” Marty Osterholzer, cashier at the Rock, said–his voice filled with sincerity.

Osterholzer made this com­ment refer­ring to a large num­ber of peo­ple who par­tic­i­pated in a kind act of sup­port for the dis­abled man. (more…)
