Winter is right around the corner, and so are those cold nights that are just so perfect for cuddling. Yet for many college students those cold winter nights will be spent alone thinking about the distance between them and the one they love.

(Defiance, Oh) The pickup trucks rolled out on Friday, September 27, 2013 as Defiance College Recycling (DCR) lives up to the expectations established for this academic school year. Over the summer, DCR received the Keep America Beautiful Grant sponsored by Coca-Cola which gave the program 24 new recycling bins.

“Don’t do it… Don’t open that door… No, don’t do it!” The words viewers mumble from the edge of their seats when watching a horror film. You want to know what happens next. It is scary, but you know something needs to happen and you know it is going to be bad. Insidious: Chapter 2 was released in theaters on Friday, September 13. The movie forces the audience on the edge of their seats, gripping the popcorn and hoping for more.

Now that the first few weeks of the semester have settled in so have the home sick jitters. College campuses across America experience mass migrations of local students going back to their homes, leaving an empty campus for those individuals who do not have the luxury to go home for a day or two. Defiance College, despite the size, is one of those many colleges that becomes largely empty on the weekends.

“All right! College has started and now it’s time to have fun! Oh shoot, I also have to pay debt. Dang it!” Paying debt is not fun, or at least not in real life. However, there is a game in which you have to pay debt in order to have a nice house in a life simulation game called Animal Crossing: New Leaf. In this game, you are a human living in a village with anthropomorphic villagers (animal like humans). In this life simulator game, you have the freedom to do whatever you want. You can fish, fossil hunt, catch bugs, buy clothes, and buy furniture for your new house (that you have to pay debt for). Why is this game so popular? Let us go back to the first game of the series.

(Defiance, Oh) I wonder sometimes if the idea of chivalry is irrelevant to today’s culture. How that an etiquette formed in the medieval times is in any way relevant to our way of life. First let’s give a brief definition of what chivalry is. The code of chivalry describes certain standards that promote the development of men. Under this code men are called to be trustful, loyal, courteous, protectors of women, and allies to the weak. While all of these values seem to fall under the phrase of “being a Boy Scout.” However these values are what we should be putting on a pedestal.
