A lot of things are changing right now, and hopefully for the better. Old roommate moved out, and new roommate moved in. Still a few loose ends to sort out over the next several days, but I am much more compatible with the new roommate overall, so feeling good about that. I have a small […]
OP-ED: Stop being jerks, Texas drivers
I’m going to start by saying I’m not from Texas. I grew up in West Virginia and moved to College Station in 2010 to attend graduate school at Texas A&M University. One of the most difficult adjustments I’ve had to make over the past three and a half years (aside from getting used the weather) […]
