A Taste of Home
Cairn’s SPA pulled off another wonderful coffee house and open mic night, after the successful turnout at the “New Season” event in September. The room was warm and students occupied every square foot of space in the room. It’s funny. I thought the spirit of this “taste of home” coffeehouse

What It’s Like Being Dr. Gary Schnittjer’s Daughter
I am not Dr. Schnittjer’s daughter. Well, I mean, technically I am. He is my father. But I try to avoid being labeled as such because it puts me right inside of a pre-labeled box with little chance of escape. Let me explain. I promise you, not a day passes
