Dear Bogey: Illinois Miss Independent

Dear Bogey, My boyfriend and I have been together for two years and we both decided to come to Mckendree as we both live within an hour of the school. We are both freshmen this year. Since we got to school my boyfriend has been very clingy to me, which in the past I have never minded, but now I want to do some things on my own. He is with me nearly nonstop. I am struggling to make friends because of it and I always want to go do things on my own now. I want to be able to grow at college and make a lot of new friends because all of my friends from home went to a different school. Our relationship is really strong and I do not want to lose him but I also want to be independent sometimes and have time for myself. I love him but I am learning that independence can happen when in a relation...

Dear Bogey: Tired Mediator

Dear Bogey, My sister and her best friend, who I am also friends with, have gotten into a fight and haven’t spoken to each other for a few weeks now. My sister jokes a lot with the people she cares about, and our friend is very sensitive. So, from my understanding, the fight started from a joke my sister made about our friend that she took personally. My sister doesn’t want to apologize because she doesn’t think she did anything wrong, and our friend has been ignoring her and avoids her at school. I got the two of them to talk to each other for one night when we went out to eat together, but I think that was only because I was there because they stopped talking to each other again afterwards. Their fight is affecting the rest of our friend group as well because they don’t want to go to...

Dear Bogey: Friend in a Pickle

Dear Bogey, Since moving to college, I have had no trouble finding friends. I have found multiple groups of guys and girls that I like to hang out with. My roommate just told me the other day that they no longer want any of my friends coming over to our apartment because they are too loud and always leave a mess, even though I don’t think either of those statements are true. I’ve always made sure to pick up the place after they left anyway. I think my roommate is worried that they will be “replaced” which is also not true because I am close with them. What can I say to my roommate to try and alleviate the situation where I can still be able to hang out with my friends, and my roommate doesn’t feel left out or that our relationship is being jeopardized? Sincerely, Friend i...

Make or break: Why this Saturday’s game is a must-win for McKendree football

BY GRANT RIGGS Staff Writer In football, a “trap game” is generally described as a game against an opponent that is thought to pose little challenge. As a result of playing in a trap game, the team that is widely favored to win tends to “shoo off” the opponent. Typically, the favored team will overlook the so-called “lesser team” because of that team's record, and, as a result, the favored team often slips up and loses. The main flaw with this, is that a team's record is often not indicative of how good that team actually is. McKendree’s conference matchup this Saturday, Oct. 8, against the University of Indianapolis is nothing short of a trap game. Why this Saturday is a trap game for McKendree U-Indy, who comes into this game with a 1-4 record, has yet to defeat another team in the Gre...
