Dillan Schorfheide, Sports Editor October 14, 2019

If you are expecting a macho, manly-man out of me, you will not get it. Sorry. Sure, I watch and play sports and could probably be a manly-man if need-be, but I am coming clean to all of you. My confession...

When deciding, pick the second choice

Karena Ozier, Columnist October 14, 2019

Remind your friends that you love them

Jessica Stewart October 8, 2019

It’s a common belief that the word “love” is special and should only be used sparingly. You shouldn’t throw it around at just anyone. I strongly disagree. I tell so many people in my life that...

Satire: I am an old, old man

Adam Tumino October 8, 2019

All around campus I see young people, and I envy their juvenescence. They have their whole lives ahead of them. I was once young, albeit a very long time ago. In less than one week I will be turning...

Column: Embrace your natural beauty and looks

Jaidyn Yarber, Columnist October 7, 2019

Last summer, I competed in my county pageant. Before you jump to any conclusions, I am only going to highlight the interviewing portion of my pageantry experience. I had to sit, back straight and hands...

Column: Scary movies have lost scary factors

Dillan Schorfheide, Sports Editor October 7, 2019

If anything, these scary movies, or horror movies, should only be called scary based off their trailers. Every time one of these new scary movies releases its trailer, everyone overreacts and freaks out...

Troublemakers seem to enjoy being awful
