Stars Wars in Heaven

You were beautiful-

A laugh so original and joyful-

Music to everyone's ears-

For everyone loved you

I still remember your eyes-

A light behind them


The name you wore-

Tons of Fun-

And I remember,

The day a reaper came

A message was heard

My mother's tears still come

And the tears I still hold


If God is real, kiss your forehead

Take away decay,

Narcotics did-

And let you lay peacefully in your grave-

You held my heart forever and a day-

I hold you above the stars

Every time I preform, in your name


Nathan, you were gone too soon.

Nathan Mullen died at the age 31 in his home on April 9, 2015. He had had a long fight with addiction but that does not define who he was. He was an intelligent, talented, fun, and loving man. He was an actor, musician, poet and songwriter. He was loved and is held dearly in many hearts. He was always trying to put a smile on others faces and he held a smile through hard times.

Speak up about Drug Abuse, and more importantly, stop glorifying it.

If you or anyone you know is suffering from an addiction to drugs, please don't hesitate to contact SAMSHA at 1-800-662-HELP(4357).

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
