DENVER --- The Lobos had the University of Nevada-Las Vegas in their sights, pulled the trigger, and shot themselves in the foot.

Photographic sunsets and laughs in White Sands

It was too early Saturday morning. Tired and bitter, I picked up my friend Jasmine to begin our trip to White Sands. We met up with the photographer, Harrison Brooks, and his two friends; one a transfer student from New Jersey and the other a Harry Potter look-alike from southern New Mexico. We blasted "Road Runner #1" by the Original Modern Lovers as we followed the guys south.

Zoo brings out the child in everyone

Times sure have changed. The last time I was at the zoo was around the same time I was sporting the light-up sneakers, jewelry I made in Girl Scouts and a "101 Dalmatians" backpack with all the Lisa Frank accessories. "Full House" was my favorite TV show, and I had the biggest crush on Zack Morris from "Saved by the Bell." Weren't the 1990s the best time to be a kid?

Spring broke

Panhandle, hitchhike through Spring Break

In an effort to find stuff to do for Spring Break with absolutely no money, I thought long and hard. If you really want to travel but you have no cash, you can hitchhike anywhere. Seriously. Just check out digihitch.com. We've all heard the horror stories, and while some may be true, I have never had any problems. Of course, if you look as psycho as I do while standing on the side of the road, the drivers who are brave enough to pick you up probably won't mess with you.

Students go under the knife to enhance their looks, lives

by Jessica Del Curto Daily Lobo Student Alyssa Pierce never had a problem with her body. "I don't care what people think about me," she said. "It doesn't bother me when girls look at me in bad ways." But when she was 20, she had breast augmentation done. She went from a 34 B to a 34 D. Pierce ...

Litter takes away from striking scenery of Jemez

We were just outside of Bernalillo, on the edge of the desert, when I shrugged and began to fake cold. "It's like 80 degrees out here, dude," my driver said. "Why don't you just shut up and enjoy the ride?"

Capitol offers more than art snobs

When I was a junior high student in Santa Fe, my friends always complained there was nothing to do. This annoyed me, partially because my friends were losers whose idea of fun was to get wasted and act stupid, which you can do anywhere. So in an effort to prove my loser friends wrong, I give you things to do in Santa Fe - besides getting drunk.

Taking a break to dance

Maybe you were planning to spend this Spring Break sleeping, watching TV and eating barbecue flavored potato chips on your couch. You are a lazy bum and should be ashamed of yourself.
