Experiences of a Religious Outsider
Through by appearance I fit in with the all African American congregation, I’m an outsider in faith.

On the other side of the weight-loss bun

I remember the day my mother came home furious, with my sister in tow. I had never seen her that mad, and after sending both my sister and me to our room, I found out why.

But good old Gingrich still thinks he is the man for the job.

In one week I will be a senior at Flagler College. To be specific, I will be 18 and a senior at Flagler College. Usually I get mixed reactions when I tell people this. Most are surprised, many are in awe, but lately the response I get the most is ‘you are crazy!’
I’m starting to think they’re right.
Smokers: This is your warning
By Victoria Hardina | gargoyle@flagler.edu
I am not an aggressive person. I rarely raise my voice, and when I do, it is usually out of excitement, not anger. There is one thing that will light me on fire, though … smokers.
