Ahh March is here… The sun is shining (for a couple days); spring break plans are coming together, green beer is mere days away and Sports Center has non-stop tournament talk. That’s right the NCAA Basketball tournament is quickly approaching. I have looked forward to breaking out the brackets and highlighters all year long, and the moment is finally upon us. But it just occurred to me that everyone doesn’t sit around and watch ESPN all day long like I …

The Olympics have started again and for the past weekend I have been glued to my television. The U.S. and its elite athletes are once again competing for medals and honor. This is a truly special event that only comes along every four years and cements athletes’ place in history. Due to numerous complications these athletes are struggling to compete.
There have been many storylines for these Winter Olympics, but the biggest one has to be the lack of snow. That’s …

This is it, what we’ve spent every weekend for the last twenty-or-so weeks watching for. This is what those countless hours of Sports Center reruns were for, this moment this weekend, Super Bowl XLIV. Wow guys, lets share in this momentous occasion and rejoice.
The biggest game in the biggest sport in America is finally here. Right now every girl reading this is already losing interest and wondering why guys put so much stock in something so dumb. Well ladies keep …

I’m here for you guys. I’ve learned from some past experiences, and I’m here to pass on my little bit of knowledge to you with these simple tips.
As if Wal Mart and Walgreens haven’t tipped us off enough with their rows and rows of pink and red aisles, I’m here to let you know that Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching.
This means that girls’ minds are spinning out of control with lovey-dovey fantasies that even the Lifetime channel couldn’t make into …

Another semester and year has begun, and with it comes the hope and goals of doing our best in all our endeavors. Some people have chosen to make New Year’s resolutions that will change the way they live their lives in 2010. I am one of them.
As the New Year approached, I sat down to think of ways I could improve myself for the next year, but nothing came to mind right away. I mean how do you improve on …

This week, with Thanks­giving coming up, I began to think about things I am truly thankful for, and here is my list:
I’m thankful for my Cowboys being 6-3, though they look ugly doing it and still need a new quarterback.
I’m thankful for good food like Thai Spice or Sharky’s Burrito Co, but I am not thankful for the way they make me feel afterwards. I’m thankful for having a roof over my head, though it smells funny because my neighbor …

This week West Texas A&M University held its annual Hanging of the Lights event here on campus. It doesn’t seem to be a big deal, as the lights have not been turned on yet. However, it signifies the beginning of the holiday season on campus and the surrounding area.
This got me thinking about the holiday season and all the feelings it invokes. The thought of Christmas lights decorating houses and streets as you drive though town, the drinking of …

Bumblebee to… Killer Bee?
I walk into the room and see the generic costumes; witch, cat, princess, bumblebee, pirate and policeman. Seems harmless enough, but this is different from the costumes of my youth. These have been replaced with sexy kitten, slutty pirate and dirty cop. When did Halloween turn into a night at the local gentleman’s club?
Halloween has become an excuse for girls who are normally conservative and reserved to let loose and release their inner dirty girl. The days …

Hopefully everyone noticed that there was no “What’s On My Mind?” last week. If not, then start reading and paying better attention.
I was expecting millions of letters and e-mails to the Prairie asking why it wasn’t in the magazine last week but I seem to be misguided. Well for those of you who enjoy my work, I am sorry I was at home in bed for the entire week with the flu. Not just any flu, it was that piggy …

As I sat around, thinking about what to discuss that pertains to Homecoming, I found myself wondering what you, the students, really care about. So I took to the streets with my trusty pen and paper and asked you what you think of the WTAMU Homecoming festivities.
I asked 50 people what they thought, and this is what you said:

Question 1: What is your favorite activity leading up to Homecoming?

As you can see, people really enjoy the bonfire, even those who …
