Video Games Weekly: Street Fighter V
Last week, I reviewed a fighting game called Pokken Tournament. This week, I’m reviewing Street Fighter V, which if you can’t tell by the title, is another side-scroller fighting game. It’s difficult to compare the games because Pokken Tournament is Pokemon’s first stab at a fighting game, whereas Street Fighter is one of the most […]

Sunday Reflections: What if Best Friends Aren’t Forever?
My half of my BFF necklace sits in a box in my closet. I don’t know what happened to the other half; maybe it flew out the car window that fateful day our junior year that changed my life forever. Maybe they took it off of her when they loaded her into the ambulance, trying […]

“Does it hurt the first time you have sex?,” she asked me. I wasn’t so much surprised by the question, but by the where and when of the asking of it. We were in a park. With my mother. But my mother didn’t flinch and neither did I. “I think for some people it does […]
