Single's Awareness: The 5 stages of breaking up playlist

By Emily Hales
February 13, 2015 12:00 AM
It may be a cliché, but breaking up really is hard to do. The emptiness after losing someone close to you and the fear of starting over can leave you feeling paralyzed, even if you initiated the breakup. In order to recover, you may need to give yourself adequate time to move through all the stages of breakup grief. Luckily, your favorite artists know exactly how you feel. They've been where you've been, and they will help you get through it. If not, at least your friends Ben and Jerry will always be there for you.JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZlbWJlZC5zcG90aWZ5LmNvbSUyRiUzRnVyaSUzRHNwb3RpZnklM0F1c2VyJTNBdW5pdmVyc2VieXUlM0FwbGF5bGlzdCUzQTdiRXNyREJBNWtUNU92QXdmVGJvQXklMjIlMjB3aWR0aCUzRCUyMjMwMCUyMiUyMGhlaWdodCUzRCUyMjM4MCUyMiUyMGZyYW1lYm9yZGVyJTNEJTIyMCUyMiUyMGFsbG93dHJhbnNwYXJlbmN5JTNEJTIydHJ1ZSUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRmlmcmFtZSUzRQ==First stage: Realizing it's over

Leggings and pants: The neverending debate

By Jenna Koford
February 10, 2015 12:00 AM
The leggings-pants debate seems like the chicken-and-egg debate, yet people still want to offer fashion opinions on this topic. Aren't we done talking about this? Many BYU students have been turned away from the Testing Center for wearing leggings, and this style choice may be a larger Honor Code discussion in the future.

6 struggles Texans at BYU face

By Emily Hales
January 31, 2015 12:00 AM
The born-and-bred, tried-and-true Texans who make their way to BYU often suffer from some culture shock. They go from a huge, flat, humid state where the only two seasons are sunshine and thunderstorms to a slightly less huge, mountainous, dry state with far too many seasons — most of which are cold. Whether you're a Lone Star flag-wavin,' cowboy boot-wearin' country boy (or girl) or a more refined city-dweller who doesn't understand the appeal of rodeos, transitioning to living in Utah can be hard if you're from Texas. Here are the major changes all Texas students at BYU must accept.

By Katie Nielson
January 10, 2015 12:00 AM
First comes love, then comes the ring, and then comes those newly formed engaged couples that do nothing but annoy you. This is why they need to be stopped (or at least have their own 'engaged couples only' apartment complexes).
