By A. Hannah Alvarado Web Content Contributor I’ve been reflecting a lot, as some of us do, when we are approaching a birthday. I’ve spent almost an entire three hundred and sixty five days, 8,760 hours, and 525,600 seconds figuring out this age and how to navigate it. Which, upon further reflection seems to be a trend in my life. Every time I approach a new age, I find myself […]
By Hannah Alvarado Web Content Contributor One interesting thing about the human experience has been on my mind lately. No, not our neurological ability to produce “a series of thoughts, images, or emotions occurring during sleep,” but rather, our inkling as a species to create aspirations and ambitions for ourselves. From childhood, it is not only suggested to us to “dream big,” but encouraged as well. Why is it that […]
By Hannah Alvarado Web Content Contributor There were thousands of people, all jam-packed together in a group on that humid, gray and overcast afternoon in Austin, Texas. We all shuffled along slowly forward, but with growing anticipation, into the various lines that had formed. I obviously can’t speak for every single person there on that second weekend of ACL, but after having been in the crowd that evening, I say […]
By Hannah Alvarado Blog Content Contributor Texas, in my humble opinion, is a majestic land that is just chock-full of fantastic must-sees that far exceed most people’s perception of our Lone Star State. Believe it or not, there is a whole lot more to do than eat Whataburger and float down the river. (Which of course, is an amazing past time). Personally though, I adore learning about new places I […]
By Hannah Alvarado Web Content Contributor From the worthiness of Breast Cancer supporting, to the spooky nature of all things Halloween, October is a month that stands as a month that advocates many things. Even though a good portion of the month relies on scaring you, one thing scary that can terrifying the average college student is the idea of Cybersecurity. Which is just one more thing to add to […]
By Hannah Alvarado Web Content Contributor Have you ever heard that annoying saying that ‘Summer bodies are made in the winter’? It’s a popular mantra among health and fitness enthusiasts. While they do have a point, not all of us have the willpower to pass up the various decadences and cozy weather induced binging that comes along with this time of year and frankly, not everyone cares to try. On […]
By Hannah Alvarado Web Content Contributor Each year, a different theme is selected for Texas State University’s series of academic lectures, film screenings, panel discussions, philosophical dialogues, art exhibits and more, also known as Common Experience. There is also a gallery hosted by Common Experience tucked within Lampasas Hall at Texas State University as well, free for viewing. The overall program allows for opportunities to interact with some of the […]
By Hannah Alvarado Web Content Contributor Have you ever looked around at your peers, maybe the people in your classes, people at work, or people with majors similar or the same, and felt like the only odd one out? You’ve thought about what that kind of person is in your head, but don’t see yourself fitting the mold. Yes, you’ve come this far, and yes you are here at University, […]
By Hannah Alvarado Web Content Contributor Autumn is my absolute favorite time of the year, which I’m sure a lot of you will agree with me on. It’s the start of the holiday season and the entire world seems to suddenly have such a cozy nature to it. There’s only one issue though, we live in South Texas, so unfortunately we are excluded from a lot of the fall time […]
