Peer critiquing in the college creative writing process is a double-edged sword. On one hand (this is a double-edged metaphor), someone will pick up your whimpering, fledgling little creation that you painstakingly crafted and politely tell you it is total donkey compost.

Despite losing their first game of the season, I think the Weber State University Football Team will bounce back and improve upon last season’s record. Last Saturday’s game was a tough loss for the Wildcats, who dropped a close game to the University of Wyoming. Generally when a team loses a close game, one of […]

I was on campus today, running a few errands before heading off to work. As I leaned on the counter and watched the secretary make some notes on my forms, a jerk walked into the office. Now, the word “jerk” is one of those descriptors that gets thrown around these days and placed on people […]
