No! Not that "b" word. I'm talking about the "boyfriend" word. Or in some cases the "girlfriend" word. There is an unwritten law somewhere (I'm convinced) that states when getting to know anyone of the opposite gender that you are to inform them of your relationship status, pronto.

First days are filled with questions like: "What program are you in?" or "Is this class required for your program?" asked in classrooms so packed that someone has to sit in the front chair with no desk.

Okay so I kid about the headline. I'm not the type that watched "Dirty Dancing" and/or sang with Jennifer Warnes or Bill Medley. I'm going to give a little low-down of my experience here at MATC. It was interesting to say the very least. Given that I'm a little bit older (and for those of you who know my real age, ...

When asked what Spring break means to me I immediately envision hours of lounging around in fields of daffodils.
