A recently established student-run campus ministry has caught fire with university students in the past several weeks.

More than 500 students attended Monday night's Ignite college worship. Students from University of North Texas and Texas A&M University joined Horned Frogs at the third Ignite meeting.

Paige Nettles, a senior fashion merchandising major, pioneered Ignite last semester. Nettles said the goal of the nondenominational ministry is to bring college students together to worship and hear the gospel in a comfortable setting.

Not many college juniors have babies named after them, especially after having just helped bring them into the world. That is, however, exactly what happened to senior nursing student Ayla Landry when she volunteered to work at a local clinic in Nicaragua during her spring break in 2009.

Landry barely even spoke to the woman before helping her through labor. She was young and scared, Landry said, and she wasn't sure who the father of her baby girl was.

While labor disputes between Sodexo and some of its employees have not surfaced on campus like they have in other states, Sodexo employees at the university may have nowhere to turn should trouble hit home.

In recent weeks, employees of Sodexo, the French-based multinational food service company contracted by the university, have incorporated strikes and civil disobedience as a part of the Service Employees International Union's protest efforts across 10 U.S. states against the company's alleged intimidation of employees seeking to unionize.

Being a TCU student for four years has taught me many things, but the one that stands out the most is simple: enjoy every moment. I've done a lot of things in my time as a Horned Frog. I've been Panhellenic President, Student Foundation President, a Neeley Fellow, a Frog Camp facilitator and a member of Zeta Tau Alpha, just to name a few. However, it hasn't been the big, organized functions I will remember most after graduation.

Because of my experiences over the last four years, I am walking away with an incredible sense of gratitude. I am grateful for our faculty and staff, our alumni, our parents and our friends of the university. Each of these groups of people give so much of their own time and resources to ensure that we as students have the best possible experience while we are here. If you're not involved on campus, get involved. If you are involved, stay involved.

Four students will represent the John V. Roach Honors College in the House of Student Representatives for the first time this fall, following the House election this past week.

Seven students applied for the four recently allocated seats in the House, the results of which were released Wednesday.

Ron Pitcock, J. Vaughn & Evelyne H. Wilson Honors Fellow, said the diverse interests of honors students will be an asset to the House's representation.

Harvey Mackay, author of five New York Times best sellers, including the runaway No. 1 best seller, "Swim with the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive," is back with more advice about the hostile job market.

His new book, "Use Your Head to Get Your Foot in the Door: Job Search Secrets No One Else Will Tell You," was 15th on the New York Times list for Hardcover Business Best Sellers as of April 1.

It's hard to recall memories in terms other than as momentous occasions. Our brains have this perception that our most pleasant remembrances should be embellished and compiled into montages complete with moving audio backtracking. And yet, this is not how I will remember this university. Certainly, it is something great and magnificent and has offered me a fantastic background for whatever career I choose in the future.

Walking past a display of pink and white cards last week at Target, I noticed that Mother's Day falls the day after graduation. I pondered this for a minute and snickered out loud. Mother's Day? One whole day devoted to appreciating moms that toil year round? Wow.

I thought about my own mother, and how we had both almost died during birth in an emergency C-section so harrowing it could have been a plot line for "ER" or "Grey's Anatomy". Instead, we persevered, me weighing a tad over 5 pounds and my mother proud, but exhausted.

When I started at TCU in 2006, I had no clue who I was or what I wanted out of life. I was divorced, 30 years old and the mother of one child. Four years later, it's like a fog has lifted and it's all become clear.

I found myself. On the tree-lined sidewalks of the gorgeous campus, in the basement stacks of the library, in the sunshine-filled commons and in the computer labs inside Moudy. This school, this amazing place, has filled me with so much more than just knowledge.

Fifteen days - that's how long I have left at TCU as I sit here pondering how to summarize my college experience in 500 words. Do I talk about how I was scared to death of my screaming Frog Camp facilitators...

And so it begins. "Hobbin and nobbin, hobbin and nobbin, hobbin and nobbin neck and neck." (the infamous horse racing joke). Then the punch line. "The two horses looked at each other, waiting for the declaration of the winner and in unison say 'A dog that talks?'" Greeted not with boastful laughter, but rather confused silence, it was upon this day that I knew I had not been gifted with the grace of joke-telling abilities. My brief, fleeting career as a rehearsed comedian had succinctly and successfully ended itself. This is my coming-to-terms. I am a poor joke-teller.
