For my final videogame review for The Steeple, I wanted to do something special. I wanted to take a look at one of my favorite titles that has been sorely overlooked by the vast majority of the gaming community. If ever a videogame deserved the title of hidden gem, Square Enix and Cavia’s “Nier” would win that title hands down. …
Usually, when someone asks you to confess your guilty pleasures, you rather grudgingly admit to watching shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Gossip Girl, or The Big Bang Theory or even to listening to music by The Spice Girls or Britney Spears. But no one ever said your guilty pleasures couldn’t include a little bit of eye candy. Up-and-coming Hollywood actor Matt …
Torrential downpours and frequent lightning did not stop Billy Currington from heating up the stage at this year’s concert for students, hosted by the Student Activities Board.

When the university van picked me up from the Atlanta airport, it finally felt real. This was it, my American experience. It was my first time away from my family and friends and it was the first time I was actually on my own. I was terrified but ecstatic at the same time. I was born in Seoul, South Korea, …
Finals are next week. So that means every UNG student is stressed and feeling like death. The typical college student over-indulges with caffeine, eats too much junk food and deprives themselves of sleep. But all of these habits are not the best to have, since they increase stress levels and lead to bad grades. So what is a worried college …

After watching an endless number of movies with my brother and picking up the English language and loving it, I was determined to come here. And now that I’ve accomplished it and have been here for nearly nine months as an exchange student I look back at …

With one week of classes left, it’s crunch time. Not only it is crunch time for students, but it is for professors as well.
