The Land of 10,000 Smokes
‘Land of 10,000 smokes’ – the first book I see in the Museum of Anchorage as I ironically stumble into one of the girls that came home with my associate and I the night before. And by “home” I mean to the “trap house” that was owned by their male friend to sell various fun…

The Last Man Standing
When I was a young guy, from ages 10-15 if I had to guess, every Memorial Day marked a dreaded experience: The Indianapolis 500. My grandpa would take my uncle and I to the race every year as a form of male bonding and camaraderie. Unfortunately, at this age I had the attention span of a…

NCAA Final Four in Indianapolis
I’ve lived In The Annapolis my whole life, and for the longest time, I thought on a regular basis, “I can’t wait to get out of here…” But lately, this city is surprising me more and more with the different events they’re hosting (Super Bowl XLVI, the Sweet Sixteen, the Final Four and numerous national conventions),…

Vegas Madness
The score is 75-70 with 5 seconds left. The losing team inbounds the ball. If they make a layup, does it matter? If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? In Las Vegas, where I am, it does make a sound. It is…

The New Where Else
The New Where Else. Purdue’s most boppin’ bar. The bar you would pair with for Grand Prix if given the option. The closest thing to reliving Beta (RIP). Quite possibly, the greatest bar in Indiana. If you end your night at Where Else, you’re doing it right. If you spend your entire night at Where…

The Greatest College Bar
Kilroy’s on Kirkwood, Roy’s, KOK, pre-Sports (or whatever you may know it as) was and is still, undoubtedly the staple in every true Hoosier’s weekend. For reference and to give the sad saps from all the other state schools (yeah I’m looking at you boilermakers), Kilroy’s put two impostors in Indy to provide you with…

Where’s the Craic? My Study Abroad in Ireland
My study abroad experience is one I will never forget… Between meeting best friends, traveling through Europe, and going to the pubs on a daily basis, Ireland was the place for me. I want to give props to studying abroad, for the growth you experience, the wonder of traveling, the life lessons, and the crazy…

Hamna Shida – Eastern Africa
Culture plays such a large role in shaping who we are not just as individuals, but also as a society. You don’t consciously think about learning your culture, it’s something that is engrained in you through your environment, from birth. So, what happens when someone leaves the safety of their homeland and enters into a…
