“Election Day” by Erin Jackson

In 2000, I was two years old. That was the first of five election days that have come to pass in my lifetime. I don’t remember much from that first election day sixteen years ago, nor does the one four years later bring any specific memories to mind. These were life-altering elections to many, and yet they had no noticeable effect on my life—not noticeable to me anyway.

“Accepting Yourself” –Avery Beer

            I was brainstorming topics for my next 186 South College blog and was really having trouble. I don’t enjoy writing about things that I’m not passionate about. I don’t like writing about mediocre topics. I like to inspire people, to make a difference in the world of those around me; so I’m going to be vulnerable for a minute here. Continue reading

“The Indecisive Undecided” by Krista Webster

For years, we’ve been bombarded by the question “what do you want to be when you grow up?” Some people have had their hearts set on being doctors since they were 5, while others struggle to find their main passion–the “undecideds.” The typical, more represented problem of the undecided major  is “I don’t know what I’m good at” or “I don’t know what I like.” But what about those of us who like too many things?

“A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That” by Avery Beer

The thought of not being able to go to the dining hall for every meal this year scared the heck out of me. I was fully prepared to eat McDonalds every night for dinner. But, little did I know I would find a new love of cooking easy meals. I ended up experimenting and finding that creating my own meals is more fun than I thought… and I no longer have nightmares about opening the oven to a big burnt mess. So, if you were just as scared as I was, and you can’t think of easy dinners/lunches, fear no more: Here are a few simple ideas! Remember, most importantly, that cooking is an art. Don’t be afraid to add your own flare.
