The Intersection entertains kids with tie-dye
Yesterday we celebrated a successful year at the Intersection with a tie-dye extravaganza. It was gorgeous outside so we were able to go wild with all of the vibrant colors.

Reading provides needed escape from reality
When our Spring Break turned into Winter Break Part Two, I realized that spending the entire week watching television wasn’t the best idea. So I turned towards my bookshelf, which was overflowing with new and old copies of different books. I had forgotten how much fun reading was. In high school, every day is just [...]

Top 10 ways to ask someone to prom
In the sixth grade, my English teacher told us to write about an event in our life that we were looking forward to most. While I wanted to write I was looking forward to my wedding day the most, my teacher used her daughter’s wedding as the example. My then sixth-grade self was into being [...]
The sweetest season
Spring is here. The pitter-pattering of the rain has begun to hit my windows every morning. And I lull myself to sleep with quiet french songs, cuddled up in the nook of easy chair with a worn out Harry Potter novel. It’s the time for freshly-cut flowers, playing frisbee in the park and chocolate-covered strawberries. [...]
Just a few inches short
The fact that engineers hate me plays a big part in my life. The way that things are built and my 4’11” height don’t usually equate well. Shelves are too high, clothing racks hit me in the head, and I have to sit on my knees at restaurants. I can’t reach anything. It’s a fact. [...]

From Nashville With Love
Show choir was an activity relegated to the sidelines until the premiere of Glee in 2009 made it seem cool and hip to be uncool and unhip. Naturally, this attracted large amounts of people to show choir in the vain hope their peers would not notice they couldn’t play sports. Naturally, I fit into this [...]
DIY tinted lip balm
In the world of fashion, naturally, colors are popping up everywhere. Whether on the runway, in local stores or on people themselves, I’ve been instantly drawn to the vibrant colors displayed that epitomize the new spring season we have just dived into. However, rather than looking to splash some color into my wardrobe, I decided [...]
Children provide sense of innocence in corrupt society
As a winter full of bleak, colorless days gives way to the mild and sunny days of a Missouri spring, it seems as though all of Columbia comes to life. Now is the time to stow away those bulky winter jackets for another year, and skirts and dresses make their way out of the closet [...]

Depth Charge: Nothing to Play?
I don’t know about you, but I’ve got ‘nothing to play’ syndrome. For those non-gamers out there, or those few that haven’t experienced this, it’s like opening up the fridge and finding it full of food, but nothing is appetizing. Eventually, you get some greek yogurt and granola but you AREN’T HAPPY ABOUT IT. So [...]
Kickstarted
So I have a blog now. I being me, Adam Schoelz, and the blog being … well, something. Blogs are hard for me because while it is in my nature to blab, it is not in my nature to blab about myself, at least not to strangers on the Internet. So I decided I wouldn’t. [...]
