College GameDay Coming To Kzoo
Western Michigan Football

The day kicks of at 9:00AM on The Sangren Pedestrian Mall. Be there as early as 2-3 hours before hand wearing brown & gold to show your bronco pride to they nation as they Row The Boat against Buffalo at 3:30PM at Waldo.

To all of you from Kalamazoo, I'm sure you have heard that THE ESPN College GameDay will be in Kalamazoo this Saturday November 19 for the Western Michigan football game versus University of Buffalo. For the football fanatics, out there, you know how big of a deal this is. In fact, it's only the second time they have been to a MAC game and the first time ever at a WMU game. For those of you who may not be as football friendly, College GameDay is a pre-game show that lasts three hours and is hosted by some of college football's best and most well known at the site of one of the day's biggest games.

This opportunity has been earned by the 10-0 start for the broncos, their best ever, featuring wins against Big Ten teams Illinois and Northwestern. Since being announced Sunday morning, social media has been buzzing and the atmosphere in and around Western Michigan has changed and I can't wait to see how it will continue to improve and continue as we get closer to game day. If you are from or in the Kalamazoo are, a bronco alum, a student or a football fan in general, I encourage you to get to Waldo early and stay for the game. Be part of the experience, this is an extremely rare opportunity for this university that has NEVER been done before and I don't think you will want to miss it. This day is not only for the team, but the entire university, community, city, MAC conference and so much more.

I don't know how many of you grew up around this sport, but pretty much every saturday morning during the season, my mornings were opened with college gameday, following breakfast, while we went about cleaning the room, doing laundry, working on homework, etc. It sounds insignificant, but I am so excited and proud of the program for putting in all the work to earn this kind of experience for our whole area and getting to be a part of this legendary broadcast. Get out to support these guys who worked so hard thus far and will continue to ROW and grow as they finish the season.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
