If I could give one piece of advice as I leave Ferris, it would be to get off your butt.

What I mean by that is while the occa­sional quiet night at home is nice, but do not make a habit out of it. So log out of World of Warcraft, put down the pipe, get off of Facebook and stop watch­ing Netflix. (more…)

The Texas House of Representatives has approved a bill that would raise the cur­rent speed limit to 85 mph in some areas.

People in this day and age just can­not get enough speed, whether it is wait­ing for a web­page to load, want­ing our fast food faster, or when we are behind the wheel. As the old adage pro­claims, time is money. (more…)

An under­grad­u­ate from the University of Chicago recently launched the web­site UchicagoHookups​.com, which sole pur­pose is to find some­one for casual sex.

The site, which requires a col­lege email to sign up, has now expanded to ten uni­ver­si­ties and is still grow­ing. (more…)

Have you ever seen some­one and imme­di­ately thought, thank God I am not them?!

If so, then you may have just done some hard­core cold fight­ing. According to a Canadian study, indi­vid­u­als who com­pared their sit­u­a­tion (attrac­tive­ness, finances, intel­li­gence, etc.)to those in a lesser per­ceived sit­u­a­tion were sick less than those who did not com­pare them­selves pos­i­tively. And I was always taught that I should not believe that I am bet­ter than oth­ers. (more…)

There are 142 mil­lion Americans who are either over-weight or obese and that num­ber is only expected to rise in the upcom­ing years.

Where did the American peo­ple get all of these front butts, back tit­ties, and quadru­ple chins? (more…)

Women hate being sin­gle on Valentine’s Day, and men hate being in a rela­tion­ship as that dreaded hol­i­day has rolled around once again.

The only thing worse than Valentine’s Day is Sweetest Day. Man, I hate Hallmark. (more…)

Senior guard Matt DeHart cer­tainly made the right deci­sion for both him­self and Bulldog bas­ket­ball when he decided to try and walk on the team.

The plas­tics tech­nol­ogy major came to Ferris solely for aca­d­e­mic rea­sons, but decided to try out for the team his fresh­man year. Four years later, DeHart is tak­ing full advan­tage of his first full year as a starter as the Bulldogs are cur­rently sit­ting in first place in the North divi­sion in the GLIAC. As a senior, DeHart knows he is expected to be a pres­ence and make plays on the court for his team. (more…)

Ferris State junior quar­ter­back Tom Schneider has made a career out of work­ing hard in the class­room and on the field since 5 years of age.

Schneider was recently rec­og­nized for his ded­i­ca­tion to both as he was one of the six recip­i­ents of the GLIAC Commissioner’s Award, which is awarded to stu­dents who dis­play their tal­ent both in the class­room and on the field. (more…)

While tech­nol­ogy cer­tainly has made our lives eas­ier and less stren­u­ous in the class­room, we need to keep in mind that there are some things that we can­not learn by search­ing it in Google.

There are impor­tant skills of life we can­not learn from sit­ting in front of a machine with a web browser open. One of the most impor­tant things that we learn from being face to face with peo­ple is one that most of us take for granted: the skill of face-to-face inter­ac­tion. (more…)

The Ferris State men’s bas­ket­ball team recorded its high­est scor­ing game of the year as they picked up a con­fer­ence win, defeat­ing Northwood University 94–85.

Ferris head coach Bill Sall thought his team did a great job down the stretch clos­ing out the game, as they went 11–12 from the free throw line down the stretch. (more…)
