We all know … Continue reading Birth Control in Trump’s America
Sarah Swindell Opinions Editor Movies have created a certain vision of what it means to be in greek organizations. Fraternities and sororities are compiled of attractive and affluent types who spend copious amounts of time on their looks and socializing. They live in extravagant homes and have even more extravagant parties. While this is a somewhat accurate depiction for some organizations at … Continue reading What it Means to be Greek
Andrew Oliver Staff Writer The argument for a living wage has been at the forefront of policy discussions and debates in recent years, and with plenty of controversy. In addition to strong opposition from many large businesses and corporations, those who support an increase in the federal minimum wage often do not agree on what a living wage should be, and how it should be … Continue reading The Case for a Living Wage
Sarah Swindell Opinions Editor College students have sex. Young unmarried people are sexually active. There, it has been said. It is a fact that many like to brush underneath the rug, cover their ears, close their eyes, and try to block out those aforementioned words for the sake of personal morality. There are those among us that want to forget that premarital sex exists, … Continue reading The Bad and the Ugly of STI’s
Kaetlyn Dembkoski Staff Writer In times such as these, when diversity needs to be strengthened and prominently visible in society, there is a constant need to fulfill the role to ensure that the matter is not allowed to be undermined.

Andrew Oliver Staff Writer Trump’s wall will not work. As James Hedges (the presidential candidate for the Prohibition Party in 2016) said, “Hadrian’s Wall did not protect England. The Maginot Line did not protect France. Trump’s Wall will not protect America, either, but building it will capture people’s attention while important parts of America slip away or are destroyed. The best day of our lives … Continue reading The Horrors of Trump’s Wall
Sarah Swindell Staff Writer I still remember when I bought my first bottle of mascara for myself. I was shopping with my father, and little eleven year-old me asked with trepidation if I could buy my own bottle. I remember the look in his eyes followed by, “you should ask your mother.” Standing in the makeup aisle calling my mother on Dad’s cellphone, she … Continue reading My beauty is for me
Kaetlyn Dembkoski Staff Writer In our world, there is very little that is able to hold our attentions in much the same way as television shows do. They allow us to escape from reality, ranging from a brief half hour up to multiple hours, into worlds and circumstances that are unlike our own. They provide us with the means to envision ourselves within the worlds … Continue reading Netflix and Chill: Is there any need for Cable Anymore?
Brianna Wilson Staff Writer I can remember the first time I got my period. I was 11. I was so scared and embarrassed to tell my mom that I cried. Even typing this feels slightly wrong, like I am sharing something I shouldn’t be. There is so much shame and secrecy surrounding a woman’s menstrual cycle, but the reality is that it happens to nearly … Continue reading Period Pains: The Ridiculous Reality of Female Menstruation
