Speaking of silence

By: Gabriela Yareliz In my criminal procedure class, my professor sometimes asks us what our reaction is to some sort of controversial issue, and the response is sepulchral silence. He shakes his head and tells us how he grew up with a vocal generation that protested Vietnam and civil rights violations. The silence continues. ESPNContinue reading “Speaking of silence”

Life Is A Dance

By: Gabriela Yareliz Jordan Fisher was interviewed on the radio. He spoke about his new single, “Never Dance Alone.” He was talking about how it’s the first time he sings a song he didn’t write; then, the station played it. It is beautifully written.

A lot of us like to feel like we are in control of something. It’s that desire to control that sometimes stops us fromContinue reading “Your Future”

This Month’s Picks: March 2014

Compiled by: Gabriela Yareliz March was an action-packed month, where a crazy schedule became the new normal. Exams are coming quickly (they are that dark cloud hovering over us); I am still springbreakless; I am still slightly sleep deprived, but nonetheless joyful. I think April will be an exciting month filled with a lot ofContinue reading “This Month’s Picks: March 2014”

All About Your Heart

By: Gabriela Yareliz I thought I would actually write something; a short note perhaps. The semester is ending. Time is just running like sand between our fingers.
