Taking the road less traveled

John Mendiola October 12, 2013

If there's one thing I hope I can always say about myself, it's that I have always taken the road less traveled. This has been something that I've tried to live by, and this past year was no exception....

You can’t go wrong with Trinity

John Mendiola October 12, 2013

Editorial: The Autumn of Our Dancecontent

Editorial Staff September 27, 2013

Fall is officially here. Now, in south Texas this doesn't really mean very much. Our leaves don't change. The air isn't a crisp 65 degrees. We don't have a lot of apple orchards. Any decorative pumpkins...

The Transfer Experience

John Mendiola September 27, 2013

Coming from my second school in three years, I think I have found my home and myself at Trinity University. In my freshman year, I mindlessly went to Texas State, the only school I applied to. I'm not...

Arthropods and their manners

Lauren Schroeter September 13, 2013
