Opinion: Don’t turn that Clairo off

Joshua Abraham, Opinion Writer April 15, 2025

We’ve reached an all-time low for feminism — and I don’t mean in terms of women’s rights.  No gender should be above the other, and we should all be living in harmony; everything one gender...

Opinion: Everyone should take a philosophy class

Kaleb Blizzard, Opinion Writer April 13, 2025

What do you think of when you hear the word “philosophy?” Maybe you think about the cringy “our philosophy” statements that summarize the core values of any number of large companies. Or perhaps...

Opinion: Slay the day

Wyatt Pickering, Opinion Writer April 10, 2025

I love the word slay. It is so versatile, it can mean anything you want and you can describe anybody or anything — your outfit, your friend group or even how you passed your last exam. For someone...

Opinion: Start going to places alone

Joshua Abraham, Opinion Writer April 10, 2025

The movie theater is a sacred place for me.  I started going during the peak of COVID-19; my mother was in the hospital, and I needed a break — anything to take my mind off her and everything going...

Opinion: Your AI-generated assignments are terrible

Caleb Elizondo, Web Editor April 9, 2025

I don’t know if it’s just me, but every single professor I’ve had prepares at least one discussion post on generative artificial intelligence and its usage in the classroom. While important, these...

Opinion: Date Josh!

Joshua Abraham, Opinion Writer April 4, 2025

I’m done with dating.  I’m sick and tired of meeting girls. I’m exhausted with trying to give my heart when I know they’re going to rip it into shreds.  Hookup culture has put a permanent...

Opinion: More people should read

Maddie McMurrough, Opinion Columnist April 3, 2025

One of my 2025 goals is to read 50 books this year. To break it down, that’s about four books each month. If you’re interested in my progress, I’m currently on No. 10.  To many, this goal might...

Opinion: I reserve the right to be a loud and proud big back

Sidney Uy, Opinion Writer April 3, 2025

I take pride in eating whatever I can get my hands on. I grab bananas from university-owned cafes, baked goods from a student-owned business and the best street tacos from local food trucks.  Bake...

Opinion: The death of cooking shows

Joshua Abraham, Opinion Writer March 31, 2025

Opinion: Protesting is not illegal

Wyatt Pickering, Opinion Writer March 27, 2025

Americans love to protest. We love it so much that we included the right to assembly and peaceful protests in the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights.  Every time the news is on, there is a new protest...
