Last Friday in Kent Wilkinson’s Rock and Roll Media class, two very special guests graced the audience with their presences. Scott and Amy Faris are the brains behind the “Metropolis Elektro” musical composition. The husband and wife dynamic duo created the score over the period of a little more than eight months. “Metropolis Elektro” […]
Gilchrist Navigates New York Fashion Week
February 21, 2014 by
To make it in the fashion industry, you have to have a thick skin — a really thick skin, or so I’ve been told. If you’ve ever seen the “Devil Wears Prada,” you get where I’m coming from. For many, this job description of being under constant stress and responsibility is not their cup of […]
How I Learned To Drive: Review
February 18, 2014 by
I love hearing stories from my parents and grandparents about how life was better back in the good old days. Apparently things were simpler, America was what it should be, and families were really close with one another. But how close is too close? Even though this play takes place almost 20 years ago, […]
Lovers And Friends – A Valentine’s Guide
February 11, 2014 by
By Lauren Estlinbaum If you give a girl a bouquet of flowers, she’ll want to be your valentine. If you give a girl nothing, she’ll want to be your worst nightmare. Okay, maybe this isn’t the exact science of how one acquires a valentine, but after talking to a few Tech students there was a […]
One Nation, Underwood
February 10, 2014 by
It’s brilliant, witty, comical, and intriguing. For someone who doesn’t know a lot about the inner-workings of politics, I was skeptical about starting the Netflix original series. The more episodes you watch, the more likely you are to be drug in. With murder, scandal, cheating, scheming, and lying as part of the plot, how could […]
“Damn Good”
February 10, 2014 by
When rumors began to spread that the holy grail of tacos was coming to Lubbock, all Tech college students rejoiced. Torchy’s Tacos is known for being “damn good,” and after trying the namesake for myself it only confirmed how delicious it truly is. The chain started in Austin and has grown to 21 locations. The […]
Fit Is Chic
February 5, 2014 by
The last time I went to the Texas Tech Recreational Sports Center the majority of the people around me looked miserable. One guy on the stairmaster was huffing and puffing while the girl across the way looked as if she was training for the Olympics — unwillingly. Many people view fitness as something that’s a […]
The Best 2014 Super Bowl Commercials
February 3, 2014 by
Last night was rough — especially if you’re a Denver Broncos fan. As much as we love our Tech alumni ( Wes Welker, Manny Ramirez, and Louis Vasquez), the game was an utter blowout — Seahawks 48, Broncos 8. There was a lot of running, catching, and flailing made by all on the field. The […]
Texas Tech Does TEDx
January 29, 2014 by
If you google who the best American poets are, you might find names like Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, and Robert Frost. Those artists might be interesting to some, but what about the up-and-comings from new generations? Robyn Adams, a sophomore journalism major from Houston, is a fan of spoken word. In fact, she said she […]
Best Moments Of The 2014 Grammys
January 27, 2014 by
For all of you who had to choose to watch either the Pro Bowl, the Bachelor wedding, the latest Sherlock Holmes with Benedict Cumberbatch, the new Keeping Up With The Kardashians episode (jk) and the Grammys — I get it. It’s a headache and a half to DVR everything and then have the time to […]
