Remember when we all said that we’d keep in touch with our friends from high school? Remember when you thought your high school best friends would be your best friends for life? I remember, and oh how foolish I was. Little did I know that in college I would meet some of the best people I have...

Logan Raschke, Editor-in-Chief
May 22, 2019
Filed under Columns
Editor's note: This review contains spoilers. Jonathan Glazer’s alien drama/horror/science fiction film "Under the Skin" grips onto open-minded audiences with its abnormal, often uncomfortable visual and auditory elements. This is a film that’s definitely not for everyone. The makeup of the f...

I had never seen an episode of “Game of Thrones” until my dad made me watch three episodes from season five with him a few weeks ago. It was pretty interesting, and I had been wanting to give it a try for a while, so I decided to start watching it myself. A few days ago, I started watching...

Filed under Columns
If you’ve been paying attention to the news or social media lately, you’ve probably seen a lot of discussion about abortion. Many states have been passing legislation recently that restrict women’s rights to abortion, and the main point of argument is whether or not this should be OK. This...

Summertime is approaching fast, and the warm weather is a perfect reason to open all your windows, play some music and tidy up your place. It’s also a perfect opportunity to rethink your furniture arrangements and other decorations. This past year, I moved into a house with my boyfriend and it left...
Reflecting on religion after death, turmoil

A lot of horrible things happened to me these past couple weeks. On April 29 at night, my mother's birthday, I got a call from my father--a call I've been dreading since the beginning of the Spring 2019 semester. A call I've been dreading for most of my life, come to think of it. My father called...

This is it. My tenure as editor-in-chief for a remarkable newspaper has reached an end. Of course, it’s a little bittersweet. Why wouldn’t it be?

Common sense is needed in life
Dillan Schorfheide, Assistant Sports Editor
April 28, 2019
Filed under Columns
It is the last week of this school year, so I thought it would be fun to end the year right, by letting everyone know the things that bug the crap out of me. First of all, have some common sense when you are driving. The amount of times I have been befuddled, speechless and confused by drivers’ actio...
Sports fan rage is absolutely terrifying
Logan Raschke, News Editor
April 25, 2019
This probably goes without saying, but the rage of an angry sports fan is simply terrifying. I don’t know about you guys, but my dad is so bad about this. My dad is a very lax dude. He’s easygoing, caring and compassionate to no end. But when it comes to sports? Well, that’s just a totally d...

This is my last week here at The Daily Eastern News, and it is certainly a bittersweet feeling. I have had the best time working here the past couple of years, and I am certainly going to miss this place. I started off doing occasional news and photography at the DEN, but in August 2017 I was promoted t...
Find your tanning bed; try something new
Megan Keane, columnist
April 24, 2019
I’d never tanned in a tanning bed before, but I had tanned ... once or twice. When I was younger, I tanned nicely. I wasn’t always super pasty and freckly. What I’m really saying is, I wasn’t always super Irish. I’m, like, a decent chunk Italian, and my skin would express those genes in...
College is a cup of coffee: too brief
Carole Hodorowicz, Columnist
April 24, 2019
For the past couple of weeks, my dad has been repeating a few words to me that have yet to hit me with their full weight until I sat down to write this column, my last column for The Daily Eastern News: “College is like a cup of coffee.” An absolute delight, but much too brief. Looking back...
