by Devon Mitchell I was once told if you remember your 21st birthday you did something wrong. That is the idea of what a 21st birthday should be like- copious amounts of drinking, partying, and forgetting all about it the next day. As someone who just turned twenty-one, I’m here to tell you that is…
This is the third publication I have written about the war in Ukraine. It has been interesting to see how the conflict has developed, but I have now started reflecting on the effect of writing about this for so long on me. I have been following the conflict almost hour by hour. At first it…
by Marisa Seager The title says it all. It’s been closed for renovations now since December 2021, but to me it feels much longer than that. Immediately after Cavern closed, the college decided to implement a new late night dining option at Commons. Here, students would be able to have an experience similar to that…

by Rebecca Dance I did not love TikTok when it first came out as the new social media app, but eventually I did get sucked into the whirlpool of bite-sized dances, rants, and informational announcements. Since I put the app on my phone and created an account, I have increased my scrolling exponentially. At first,…
by Marisa Seager While it’s pretty common that most people who go to the gym walk in with or already wearing earbuds/headphones, let’s settle this right here right now. What is the best gym music you might ask? Well rock music of course. Although I’ve only been going to the gym consistently for a while…
by Chamberlain Zulaf Spring break is coming up soon, after midterms. The break comes in clutch after such a stressful week of studying and testing.
