Over 28 years, the band has had 11 personnel changes, and I’m With You is the debut of their newest incarnation, with guitarist Josh Klinghoffer replacing John Frusciante. The Peppers could have broken up when they […]

I Wish I Could Have My Time Back…
A theology class began the torture for me; a class where I was wrangled into critically analyzing the world, made to “struggle” with the fact that there were religions and faith traditions other than my own. The dialogue around this idea of “something more” pierced my daydreaming ability and interrupted […]
Xavier’s Real Problem
Every day for the past few weeks when entering Fenwick Place, I have observed the construction inside the space closest to Currito and the Dining Hall. I was excited to hear what treasure Xavier planned to put inside this central location, but instead I was shocked and disappointed when I […]

Cure your College-Life Crisis
When I began the fall semester of my senior year at this fine institution, I felt sick to my stomach. I thought it was just first-day jitters, but as the weeks dragged ever-slowly on, my condition only worsened. I was constantly tired, apathetic and unmotivated. I frequently experienced shortness of […]

Apple Inc. released its newest product yesterday: the iPhone 4S. The keynote address was given by the new CEO Ted Cook who replaced Steve Jobs in April. As with every new release of Apple’s, the launch of this product was kept under tight security and very little was known, including […]
A Life of Improvisation: Don’t Tell Anna
As Don’t Tell Anna, one of Xavier’s improv groups, performed its first full-cast show on Friday night, I began thinking about the value of theatrical improvisation in relation to the stresses of everyday life.
