Houston may not be the “outdoorsiest” place, but our collective soul beckons for adventure. What better way to satisfy that innate desire than rock climbing? Houston recently received a duo of gyms from the indoor climbing company, Momentum. It may sound counter-intuitive to scratch an outdoor itch with an indoor...

The new year brings in a lot of new things. New routines, new classes, new professors, maybe even new friends. Maybe you’ve found your new favorite coffee shop in Houston, or bought a subscription to a new gym. One thing’s remained the same though, you’re here, and they’re there. You could be 100, 1000 or 10000 miles...

It’s a new year and semester. And of course that means we have some new year resolutions, and a lot of them probably have to do with getting healthy despite classes starting up again. Walking from class to class all over campus definitely can tire anyone out, and in the time between, it’s common to grab some quick...

For gamers across the globe, 2017 was an important and revolutionary year. With new, fast-paced games like “Nier: Automata,” nearly perfect JRPG’s with “Persona 5” and the continual rise of VR with “Resident Evil 7,” it felt like every type of gamer had something to cherish and enjoy for a long time.

When I was a kid, I would always watch “Motorweek;” a weekly program that reviewed new cars. Closer to the end of the show, they had this shoddily named segment called the “Long-Term Road Test Update,” that would review some of the more practical cars after a period of time.

The cherry on top is it’s someone who you possibly really enjoyed watching on “Master of None” or “Parks and Recreation”. Aziz Ansari is a comedian we...

The year has just begun, and for most students so has another semester. While college can be stressful, it’s important to remember to take a break and have fun. Houston has tons of things to do, so there is not an excuse to not go out there. If you are new to the city or know it by heart, there are still endless...

When it comes to sex, it doesn’t always go down like it does in the movies. Let’s face it — sometimes sex can be awkward, unsatisfying or plain out no fun at all. And of course sex can be an experience better than any cinematic portrayal is capable of.  For some the best sex is hookup sex and for others it’s with his...

Maybe you’ve been swiping for months or perhaps your coffee has yet to meet a nice bagel. Well-known dating apps are notorious for being oversaturated with folks who may not be looking for the quite the same things that you are. Due to Tinder’s popularity, there’s a number of alternatives that are both free and...

The revolution of sexual identity and gender fluidity has left the social media realm and infiltrated mainstream America in the past few years. Generations Y and Z have repelled the unrealistic and glossy images of CIS identified airbrushed models, and have gravitated toward advertisements that reflect the real,...
