Zavia Pittman Staff Writer The new year has begun and with it the season of reinvention. For us college students, the new year also brings a fresh semester filled with classes and (hopefully) new opportunities. Most likely, many of us have New Year’s resolutions in addition to goals for the semester (one of them probably to survive it). And whether your goal is to be … Continue reading Escaping the Schedule

Zavia Pittman Staff Writer Social media and reality are becoming so intertwined. Can we really escape it? “Yeah, I deleted TikTok and Instagram, I need a breather.” You may have heard a peer say something like that as a college student. Or maybe you have decided to take a social media break for your well-being. As chronically online as we may seem, young people know … Continue reading Can We Really Live Offline?
“Eth” Hyman Staff Writer I find myself getting so tired of writing about being trans. Like, wildly tired. Fatigued, even. Actually, “trans” may not even be the right terminology anymore.

Elizabeth “Eth” Hyman Staff Writer When I was a kid, my momma used to yell out the car window on my way to school, “BE A GOOD FRIEND!!!” I’d look back at her with a concerned look, thinking, Why the heck are you so focused on other kids, Momma?
