By Claire Hansen Blog Content Contributor Most of you reading this probably already know what I am going to say, but I am going to say it again, simply because I believe it is important and has been made clear to me over the last couple weeks that not enough people are listening. I'd be pretty surprised if you had not seen this around campus already, but, in case you did […]
By Claire Hansen Blog Content Contributor In case you didn't know, there is yet another occasion to celebrate this holiday season. November 19 is International Men’s Day, a day reserved for the celebration of all men -- big, small, sporty, nerdy, rugged, groomed -- each and every kind. But, right now I would like to put an extra emphasis on the ones who serve for our country. The men (and women) of our […]
By Claire Hansen Blog Content Contributor No matter who you are or where you’re from, South by Southwest (more commonly seen as SXSW) is probably an event you know of in one way or another. Even I had a general idea of what it was before ever moving to Texas. For the most part, it’s one of those things we always see from the outside looking in, mainly because of its […]
By Claire Hansen Blog Content Contributor There are two types of people in this world (or at least in San Marcos), and they are divided by their taco provider preference. Most of us in San Marcos have probably faced this decision more than a few times, and there is no doubt that these two competitors are one of the strongest rivalries in the Texas college town taco scene. It is […]
By Claire Hansen Blog Content Contributor Some say Disneyland is the happiest place on Earth-- but surely those people haven’t been to Wurstfest. If you’re new to San Marcos and don’t know what I’m talking about, Wurstfest is this lovely festival thrown every fall just down the road in New Braunfels, for all beer-drinkers, sausage-eaters, and lederhosen-wearers to gather and celebrate the excitement of German culture. In fact, New Braunfels […]
By Claire Hansen Blog Content Contributor The story of the The Shining is a classic horror story. I say “story” because the book and movie are quite different from each other. Nonetheless, both versions still from one of the greatest Halloween-time tales to be told. However, not many people know that this story actually came from real events. So, with the best holiday of the year here, I have included […]
By Claire Hansen Blog Content Contributor With so many different health products being shoved in our faces these days, it can be easy to over-complicate healthy living. A side effect that often follows those products is ending up spending way more money than you need to-- possibly on things that may not even be helping you. A couple of years ago, a massive cardboard box full of Nutrisystem meals showed […]
By Claire Hansen Blog Content Contributor You’re probably thinking, “Oh great, another post about stress management and hippie lifestyles.” No. There is a stigma behind meditation, it’s true. With everyone’s lives getting busier by the week, meditation has unfortunately become somewhat of an overblown fad that many people, although hearing about it everywhere they go, really don’t know that much about. So, as a partaker in this practice, I would […]
By Claire Hansen Blog Content Contributor After attending Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL) for the third time last weekend, I felt it was time for an evaluation. Like any large event, there are several different components that come together in collaboration to make ACL the festival that it is. Yet, just like any other music festival, it has its ups and downs. That said, some are better than others. So, here’s a […]
