Libraries are overlooked and underrated
Mercury Bowen, Entertainment Reporter
October 21, 2018
In a world of technology and digitization, it is easy to think of libraries as nothing more than old buildings full of dusty books and an old woman behind a desk shushing people. This could not be further from the truth. Many people today also believe that libraries are a thing of the past and...

Climate change, corporations and evangelicals

October 18, 2018
Last year, I discovered the joy of writing for a student-run newspaper. Columns specifically, I didn’t have the stones to be a reporter in this climate. But I enjoyed how everyone’s hard work made the DEN happen, and writing about our dangerous political climate was a way for me to make sense of...
Prioritize your life during college years
Karena Ozier, Columnist
October 18, 2018
When I was in high school, I never really understood why people got so excited when I told them I was going to college. They would tell me that I wasn’t going to be prepared for what a difference college was. They said, “college is hard but it’s the best time of your life.” I admired their thoughtfulness,...

For some reason, we as human beings like to be mad. It is an annoying feeling; yet, we love to indulge in behaviors that anger us. Whether it’s saying (or even thinking) of a sly comeback to someone, fuming over your roommate who never takes out the trash or gossiping with your friends about...

Too often I witness or overhear college students judge their fellow college students for what area of study they have chosen to pursue. Major-shaming comes in a variety of forms—some are more obvious than others. One of ...

As staff members of The Daily Eastern News, we stand with and support the LGBTQA+ community.

Studying in college is very important, so it’s important to find a nice space for you to study. Some people are able to study in their bedrooms just fine, but for others, they need to get out of their room and be in a different space. Some people like studying at the library because there are a ...

Currently I am taking an English class here at Eastern as an elective for one of my minors, and the class emphasizes the difference between western individualism and eastern collectivism.

Well as the old cliché goes: it’s that time of year again. A time for hot chocolate, cute fall wardrobes, big wool hats that swallow our heads and, of course, a time for skyrocketing medicine sales. Yes, that’s right, it’s the time of the year where most of us start to feel like walking petri dish...
