Top trends to make you sizzle

Every season has different trends. Here are the best wearable fashion trends for spring and summer 2009.

Be Bold. For ladies, choose bright tones, pinks, greens, oranges and yellows to add a pop of color to any outfit. Guys, go for blue. Blue hues are big this season. Use blue as a focal point in your outfit. Do not go overboard though, you do not want to look like a smurf.


Bittersweet Victory…

I’ve been getting around to this for a while now. As the Online Editor of the student newspaper, The Gargoyle, shouldn’t I be writing a blog?

It seems that every time I sit down to think about it, something else comes up- whether it be a midterm, another story or just one of those brain-dead afternoons every college student out there can relate to.

Well, anyway, here goes nothing.


‘Thanks, that was fun’

So I’m a little late in blogging about this, but you’ll have to forgive me. I’m in mourning. But now that I’m out of my state of shocked denial and have moved on to a slight melancholy, I am finally able to talk about it….


Super Day

When I graduated from Flagler less than a year ago, I had pretty high aspirations for myself and I still do. I want to work for ESPN and host a radio show while also writing for the magazine and the website. I also want to write for USA Today and at some point, work in Dallas covering high school football on Friday nights, local college football on Saturdays and the Cowboys every other day of the week.


Not Home For the Holidays

Time just keeps flying by here in the east. Christmas has passed. My younger sister who still attends Flagler came and visited for 3 weeks of the winter vacation. We had a great time traveling, visiting Shanghai for Christmas and Nanjing to see friends from my grad school. We climbed mountains, sat by the West Lake, visited the Japanese Aggression museum and the Shanghai Museum of Art. We ate noodles on Christmas and sat around my apartment drinking milk tea when it was to cold to go outside.


Noise, Noise and MORE Noise

I realize that it has been a LONG while since I have posted anything of any sort. I find it sad to think that I no longer write like I used to for “fear” of offending people. I also have been so out of whack with writing, especially in the English language, that I also find myself a tad rusty and humorless.

As I sit here during this sleepless interlude of speakers pounding and Tylenol PM (which I am still waiting for it to kick in), I have been pondering my life lately. I have changed so much, but yet I am the same person. But am I really?


The Five Simple Truths of Love

Recently, it has come to my attention that many of my single friends — from Flagler or Tucson — have been romantically frustrated. Having engaged in numerous conversations about the definition of true love and how to find it, I thought I’d share some of…


RIP The Houston Comets

It’s been awhile since I’ve shown my face around here…so here are some random thoughts I’ve had from this week in sports:

• I feel bad for the WNBA, but what does it say for your sport if the team that won your first four championships closes up shop? What would we think of the NFL if the Green Bay Packers did the same?


No Turkey In China

Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays. It just seems to magically appear each year and doesn’t have all of the hustle and bustle swirling around it like Christmas always did for my family. It’s almost like the day just creeped up on everyone’s calendars and starts off the holiday season with a feast centered around family and giving thanks for the good things in life.


Take Me to the Village and Leave Me There

I am afraid to tell my mother, but I am seriously contemplating village life. Last weekend I was given the awesome opportunity to travel again to a small village in the Chinese countryside. One of my colleagues has a Chinese friend who was celebrating his birthday in a village about four hours away from Hangzhou and he invited me along to travel with him.
