With every hello, there has to be a good­bye, and as my five years come to a close, this is mine.

Now that I am leav­ing and finally say­ing good­bye to Big Rapids, I can­not stop think­ing about how my life has changed and what I have learned both in and out of the class­room. Each day has given me oppor­tu­ni­ties to either suc­ceed or fail, and luck­ily I’ve been happy with where my choices have taken me. (more…)

Rain… rain… go away, come back another day.

Ferris Fest, the annual con­cert held in the Campus Quad will now be held in Wink Arena tomor­row due to and 80% chance of rain. (more…)

We tweet, post, blog, check-in, like and tag, but when do we ever just sim­ply talk to someone?

I will admit that I am con­stantly either on my phone or my com­puter, and rarely give peo­ple face-to-face con­tact. With the world con­nected through social media, it has given us an oppor­tu­nity to com­mu­ni­cate through many dif­fer­ent medi­ums. However, it doesn’t even com­pare to a con­ver­sa­tion in per­son. (more…)

With more than 1,500 vol­un­teers and just over 200 houses, stu­dents from Ferris State University rounded up in the Quad to gather tools needed for a day devoted to the community.

Students went to local Big Rapids houses to rake, clean win­dows, paint and enjoy a day out­side while serv­ing the local com­mu­nity mem­bers that may not be able to do the work. The event is held annu­ally every April and with this year being its biggest year so far, Student Government has no plans on slow­ing down. (more…)

From sport­ing events to home­com­ing to recruit­ing, Brutus is often the first image peo­ple see when they get to Ferris. He is usu­ally the one cheer­ing the loud­est, caus­ing the most ruckus, and even the one­hav­ing time to make a kid smile at any event. (more…)

Are we really com­ing to a world where all we have to do is log on to get off?

This past week I read an arti­cle where a University of Chicago under­grad­u­ate stu­dent started UchicagoHookups​.com, an online casual sex site. Students from the U of C can log onto the site to find suit­able sex part­ners for a no-strings-attached night of plea­sure. The web­site has become so pop­u­lar, Northwestern and Columbia College are now allowed to log on and find sex­ual part­ners as well. (more…)

With aban­doned homes, bad press, and a poor job mar­ket it is no won­der Detroit can never get a break.

This past Tuesday, news broke out that Detroit’s pop­u­la­tion dropped 25 per­cent in the past 10 years. The U.S. Census Bureau stated that the pop­u­la­tion in Detroit went from 951,270 in 2000 to 713,777 last year – its low­est since 1910. (more…)
