High Speed Dubbing!
Authored by: csimsy	Views 1295
My first boombox was a Sony. It had a single CD player on the top, a radio tuner and two tape decks that supported high speed dubbing. I think I got it for my birthday in 7th or 8th grade. "Alternative" music was just becoming popular. Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice... View Story

The One That Got Away
Authored by: bluefin	Views 1240
I never believed in love at first sight. Stupid romantics, don't you know that's impossible? That's how I used to feel about relationships and members of the other sex. How could you meet someone and just know that they were the right one? Fast forward to the tender... View Story

Meeting Christo
Authored by: martih	Views 449
The first time I met Christo was in the main floor of South Hall during student visit day. I was impressed by him but also most strikingly by his name. "Christo" was cool because it's the same as the uni-named artist, and "Sims" was really cool because that... View Story

I had been traveling around New Zealand for about 5 months and ended up in the only true tourist trap New Zealand has to offer, Queenstown. Supposedly the "Adventure sport capital of the world", Queenstown is a small city situated on the shore of a beautiful lake in New... View Story

Authored by: citygirl123	Views 586
I had always been an active person, but was getting so tired of the same workouts and really wanted to change things up. I needed something different - a new challenge. As an avid runner and biker, triathlon had always caught my eye... I figured if I actively participated... View Story

Baby fever
Authored by: modbean	Views 787
I never thought I wanted to have kids. In high school I didn't understand the girls who wanted nothing more than to be a mother. I liked kids and did my fair share of babysitting, but the thought of having children scared me-the way the idea of being in prison... View Story

Half is Enough
Authored by: McG	Views 854
I ran the Boston Half Marathon in October of 2004. I think I held up fairly well for most of the way, but by Mile 11 I was getting ready to wrap it up. I was pretty proud of myself for finishing it, but I didn't develop any... View Story

...and Then He Moved to Belgium
Authored by: McG	Views 912
Sadly I remember very little about the lead-up to my first kiss, but I know that it felt very dramatic at the time. It was the last day of 8th grade and my family and I were scheduled to move from New Jersey back to Massachusetts within a few... View Story

The First Time I Smiled and Laughed
Authored by: Marla	Views 341
Okay, so I honestly don't exactly remember my first smile or laugh, but I am sure that when I did, I made my Mom and Dad proud. Making my parents proud can never be overestimated or over-rated. More importantly, however, is that though I don't remember the "first time," I am... View Story

I almost met President Kennedy
Authored by: Lucy	Views 595
President Kennedy came to our town late September, 1963. My father thought it would be an experience for my sister and me to go to his speech, but my mother insisted that we first change into nice clothes. Perhaps because of this delay, by the time we got to... View Story
