X-Mark's The Spot

community college student and former editor-in-chief of my college newspaper, 'The Experience.' I've spent more hours in the newsroom than my own home, so saying I'm dedicated is a bit of an understatement. I love writing and reporting as well as page layout. I couldn't imagine myself doing anything else.

Take a chance on something new

Deciding to get into a relationship can be scary, nobody likes to be vulnerable. Have people become afraid of relationships that it makes them run away and into the bedroom of some random?
