With Valentine’s Day around the corner, we at Onward State would like to ask our readers to submit love letters to or from ex-boyfriends or ex-girlfriends, along with a brief (20-30 words) explanation of how your relationship ended.

Last night was one of the worst moments of my entire life. But before I can explain what happened, you need to know a bit about Onward State.
Earlier this evening, Onward State reported that Joe Paterno had passed away; however, the mountain of evidence stacked opposite that report became too much to ignore. At this time, I would like to issue a retraction of our earlier tweets.

Please excuse the interruption. We'll get back to your regularly scheduled content in a moment. Consider this a shameless plug, the equivalent of an NPR pledge drive but without Prairie Home Companion to entertain you. Instead, you've got this.

Have you ever wanted to get involved with Onward State? Here's your chance!
