Main Street Theater is back! After a year of virtual performances, Main Street has stepped back onto the stage with “Junie B.’s Essential Survival Guide to School” at the MECA at TBH. Adapted from the beloved children’s book series “Junie B. Jones” by Barbara Park, Main Street has put together a show that is a hoot...

After nearly a year of staying at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the lack of human interaction has made many college students, including me, dying to go out and experience some actual college life. After I was fully vaccinated, I set out to visit a good friend in College Station. If you are someone who doesn’t...

What’s up Coogs! For this year’s “Coogs Choose” one of the questions we asked was what’s your favorite comic book shop in Houston. And it seems that you were torn between two shops because surprisingly there was a tie! The most popular shops amongst voters were Nan’s Games & Comics Too and Bedrock City Comics. Both...

Dear Blue Lives, You solemnly swore that you would protect and serve our communities. Though nothing is as self-serving as taking the life of another; a mother, a brother, or a lover. Your badge of honor becomes extinct when you haul around a holster of false promises. Leaving us nothing except remnants of agony,...

Out of all of the years you’ve lived, which would you say was the best year? Now normally I’d say the current year I’m experiencing since I like to control my thoughts, but for the purpose of this conversation I’d have to say the year 2018.  2018 was a great year of firsts for me.

This can be good, as it can normalize healthy sexual relationships...

I know what I’m about to say might be hard to fathom, especially since we just passed the day of love, but still it must be said. Romantic relationships are not the sole purpose of our lives. Now I’m only saying this, because there’s a stigma surrounding adults who are not in a relationship. No one can understand why...

Love languages are the ways we chose to give and receive affection, whether that be through gifts, words, services, touches or time. Finding which love language you appreciate most could be tricky at times, because every healthy relationship has a small dose of all five to share with a partner, but continue on to...

Coming from a poor college student who’s barely able to pay tuition herself, I know what it’s like to feel like you have nothing to give. When you’re not in class, you’re at work to pay for the education you so desperately need, and when you do have a little time and money, like any other young adult you want to...

Alright, let’s be honest here, we’ve all befriended at least one toxic person in our lifetime. What you think might start off as a great friendship can ultimately turn out to be not-so-great, and that’s totally okay! But what’s not okay is you armoring yourself up for a friendship that’s just simply not worth...
