I threw myself into this paper. For three years, I lived and breathed The Daily Texan.
I walked into this basement as a designer. For five hours once a week, I would design the sports or life&arts...
Of all the stressful deadlines I’ve faced at the Texan, writing this column is the toughest. I don’t quite know how to summarize my time here, since my job has been to make other people’s...
