Go Frogs! This phrase has become a daily part of my life - so much so that whenever I'm writing papers, I'll just insert it over and over until I can think of what it is I really want to say. While I do love interjecting this phrase into random moments throughout the day, it's not just a phrase that has become a part of my vocabulary. Rather, it is TCU that has become a part of me, in everything that I do.

Life skills reflected through school mission

Four years. It is complete, a success.


People will be sentimental about the upcoming graduation day, and to be honest, I may tear up a little after crossing the stage.


College has taught me the soft skills that are required to get by in the job market. I'm not saying that knowing how to pour a beer without spilling is an applicable trait to put on my resume, but there were other valuable attributes I gained in college.

Cheers, jeers 2008

Cheers to the athletics department for ending the Neil Dougherty era. Six years and 108 losses later, they got the point. The cliche is true, nice guys finish last.

Jeers to the TCU Board of Trustees for moving a symposium honoring the Rev. Jeremiah Wright off campus. Because of the university's decision, students missed out on what would have been a great opportunity to see a controversial national figure.



Cheers to political activism during the primaries. Now, if we could only get that kind of turnout for SGA elections ...

With the May 10 graduation fast approaching, getting a job is on the minds of many outgoing seniors. Although it may be competitive for those getting ready to graduate, it could be even worse for December graduates, said a member of University Career Services.


Kimshi Hickman, associate director of University Career Services, said this stems from the fact that many companies will have already set their budgets for hiring well before December.

Lt. David Burgess of the Fort Worth Police Department, a former officer of the department's Gang Intelligence Unit, said gang members are initiated in one of three ways.


First, they can be "jumped in," or beaten. Second, they might be "blessed in" - their father or brother is an original gangster in the particular gang. And the third initiation - "sexed in" - requires a prospective female member to roll dice and have sex with the corresponding number of male gang members.
