I’m running out of words to say

June 13, 2014 by Ben Holcomb

There are only so many things one can talk about at this school. I’ve been writing the Graphic humor column since the second semester of my freshman year. That was three years ago. Seven semesters puts it at about 80 columns that I’ve written. Each column is about 550 words. Do I have 40,000 words of wisdom to speak on about this university? No. I do not. That’s a short … [Read more...] about I’m running out of words to say

Rogue Wave says his final goodbye

April 13, 2014 by Ben Holcomb

Art by Sacha Irick The tide has come in, which means they’re kicking me out. If I could write Rogue Wave for the Graphic the rest of my life and still manage to provide and care for a family, I’d do it. But life moves on, and I must wander off into the cold darkness that is post-grad life. I could reflect on my four years at Pepperdine and end with something … [Read more...] about Rogue Wave says his final goodbye

How do we prepare for the day after … [Read more...] about How to write the perfect cover letter

March 25, 2014 by Ben Holcomb

March Madness starts today, which means everyone and their barber is filling out a bracket in hopes of calling all 65 NCAA tournament games correctly. Of course, you have a better chance of getting attacked by a shark (while a vending machine falls on top of you outside of a Wal-Mart) than you do of picking all the games correctly. But has that ever stopped us before? If … [Read more...] about March is the time for madness

Not so rogue guidance on Pepperdine survival

March 18, 2014 by Ben Holcomb

Art by Christopher Chen I’m running out of time before graduation, so I’m just going to cut to the chase. I’m fitting as many bits of advice about navigating through four years at Pepperdine into this column as I can. I’m not going to dress this stuff up or talk pretty, because you don’t have the time, and I don’t want to waste any words. And yet, somehow, I feel as if this … [Read more...] about Not so rogue guidance on Pepperdine survival
