More than the "Right Kind" of internship

  Before attending the Lutheran College Washington Semester program this past fall, I had no experience with interning at a business.  From what I had gathered from peers, interning can be a "go here, do this" kind of experience.  The associate you are under instructs you on what tasks to perform and sometimes even how to perform them while going off to do work that will actually benefit the business.

Ask The Panda Girl

  Hey there Mules! Hope you had a pleasant winter break. I'm sure you all had your share of home cooked meals and baked goods, not to mention perhaps overindulging during some New Year celebrations. Hey, it's the holidays, that's what they're for! Now it's time to get back on track.

The magical taste of Walt Disney World

  I am the youngest member of my family at the age of 21. My family and I vacationed at the charming Walt Disney World for this past New Year's celebration.  I relived my childhood by falling, star-struck, for the elegantly dressed Cinderella and the practically- perfect- in- every -way Mary Poppins.

Faux Chevalier

  A crowded room, a cluttered hall. Their eyes will meet. Their hands will fall. Their voices low. Their whispers slight. However will they dance tonight?   For she is weak, and he is blind.  She cannot keep him from her mind.  He scans the room and thinks out loud,  "And who is hiding in this crowd?"  Her back is turned, she feels him near.

Fashion Showdown

        It's  that time of year, fashionistas: award season. The time  when all the most successful stars wear their very best on the  red    carpet. The most recent award shows, the People's Choice Awards and the Golden Globes, brought out lots of different styles.

Prisoners of a World Untouched

  Under the sound of the eruptions We walk this road to self-destruction Lost on a path looking for a place out of the storm Searching for a place that feels warm March on the beating sounds of Liberty Even though your feet are tired Run, and escape this feeling of misery  March on Every woman, child, and man We'll figure this life out as one As we walk this road under the boiling sun And through the hatred they call teaching Across the river of lies they call preaching We'll gather the strength to rebuild a nation One that was built with a mask of equality But a face of discrimination     As we march people will join us We'll stand up to the focus of power And as we grow hour by hour Our calls will be hard to ignore Once they crack We'll demand more  "And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow,  I still have a dream.

OP/ED

My Birthright experience

I had a substantially different upbringing than most people do in many ways, the most significant of which is my lack of an organized religion. Not that my parents are atheists, because atheists make a conscious decision to be atheists. Sure, my dad goes to church sometimes, and my mom prays when someone dies, but does that make them religious? Oh, I should mention that my parents are of different religions—my mom is Jewish, and my dad is Episcopalian (or, as he likes to call it, “Catholic Lite”). In these assumptions I’ve made, I’ve overlooked one very key point. I’m sure most of the people in the world will agree that in order to be religious, one has to be active in the religion itself.

Women's basketball gets old-fashioned to beat Bears

  In the age of Twitter and Facebook, most college students are always looking for something new and fancy.  But in its game with Ursinus on Jan. 18, the Muhlenberg women's basketball team got a little old school. The Mules used back-to-back old-fashioned three-point plays early in the second half to stall a Bear run.
