By Lea Mercado Web Content Assistant Manager In full transparency, I'm horrible at self-care. Like, face-mask-in-eyes and fell-asleep-while-meditating type of bad. While I know it is the only thing that stands between the average college student and academic burnout, for me, it somehow manages to feel like another assignment at the top of the pile. Since 2020, people have been more determined than ever to take care of […]
By Jemia Spence Web Content Contributor Downtown San Marcos, also known as The Square, must be one of the things that I love most about going to school here. It’s filled with locally-owned restaurants, bistros, nightspots, and unique clothing stores, it has a bit of everything.

By Celeste Parler Web Content Contributor Two weeks ago, SXSW and all of its conferences, interactive events and concerts took over the city of Austin, Texas. With the fact that SXSW took place during spring break, I wanted to take advantage of what the festival had to offer— to an extent.

By Celeste Parler Web Content Contributor Within a matter of weeks, we will no longer have to suffer through a Texas winter anymore. As fun as winter can be, we are overdue for better weather and a healthier state of mind. Just think about all the differences between winter and spring. Winter shuts us indoors.

By Mikayla Anding Web Content Contributor In-person classes mean staying on campus almost all day with breaks to study.

Maybe your childhood wasn’t as picturesque, and you’d like to go back in time and embrace that younger version of you and tell them it’s going to be okay.

Perhaps the doubt was caused by the confused looks on your parents' faces when you announced your major, or simply the inability to explain your dream job to someone without feeling like […]
By Mikayla Anding Web Content Contributor It's the beginning of the second semester this school year, so I'm sure you are all well-adjusted to the college life. Many memories have probably already been made. You know how to get to places on campus, and you know which dining halls have the best food, etc. Although, I'm sure many of you would not mind having a few pieces of advice going […]
By Celeste Parler Web Content Contributor We all have an inner dialogue that has the power to affect our mood.
