Seeing soulless media stolen from real creatives churned out by a Gen-AI model, along with watching people around you lose critical thinking skills as they become more reliant on Gen AI, can become very depressing. So, I wanted to give you some ways to keep AI out of

Analesa Continenza | Writer   Some days, it feels like I’m living three lives at once — full-time student, double employee and dream chaser. I’m taking six classes this semester while working two jobs, and time management has become my survival tool.  It hasn’t been easy. There are nights when I finish homework at midnight and mornings when I’m out the  door before sunrise. There are days when I feel like I’m running purely on caffeine and determination. But I’ve learned that

Camden Hutson | Writer StockSnap - Pixabay Communicating how you feel to someone might seem simple enough, until you're actually faced with doing it. Many of us worry that being too honest about our emotions will make us seem too sensitive, too dramatic, or "too much" in general.

I can’t scroll on Instagram or TikTok without coming across pointless AI-generated videos, no matter the subject of the content. I try to watch a YouTube video and the first ad I see is for Google Gemini; I perform a Google search and see a sponsored result for ChatGPT, even if my search is not remotely related to anything AI.  Not only do I see AI

Jeniyah Benitez | Writer Photo credit - " qimono " on pixabay The fall season is in full swing! I’m already in my second year at LCCC, getting closer and closer to what comes next. I am planning to start at Temple University as a transfer student in fall of 2026. It's crazy to think that in less than a year from now, I will be in an entirely different chapter of my life. Focusing on that fact has carried me through the never-ending assignments, not to mention the exams. Remin

I have been attending the gym for about two years now, and at first, I was too scared to even get off the treadmill. Let me share how you can start your journey.  Always bring a water bottle or energy drink if you’d like an extra caffeinated boost. I always carry a bag around with me, but if you would ra

Ryan Gillott | Editor  Some DVDs I Had! - Ryan Gillott Halloween is a very magical time. Ever since I was a kid, I've always felt there was something in the air on Halloween. Halloween night's darkness brought a scary, but also contradicting feeling of joy to my younger self.  How should adults celebrate the holiday? Here are my dos and don'ts for Halloween when you're no longer a teen.  Do - Have some candy! Buy some for yourself, since you're an adult now, and can buy thing

Naomi Kim | Editor thelester - pixabay Autumn has arrived, and that means it’s time for chilly weather, cozy sweaters, and college open house season. There are plenty of reasons why you should go to open houses, many of which you’ve probably heard from teachers and parents alike. From a chance to meet possible professors face-to-face, seeing campus in person, and even possibly getting your application fee waived, there are a whole slew of benefits you get out of attending.

Whether it’s skiing through moguls or snowboarding down a black diamond, there are endless opportunities for adventure at Blue Mountain Ski Resort. No matter your age or skill level, the mountain has something for you. If you’ve never tried skiing or snowboarding before, the bunny hill is the best place to

Eddie Zobel | Writer  Tomasz Gawlowski - Unsplash With the weather getting cooler, I tend to spend more time listening to music than usual. There’s just something about the crisp air and the leaves changing colors that really gives listening to music a different experience than the other seasons. With that being said, I’d like to share some of my favorite albums to listen to this autumn.  First and foremost, the newly released album by Nourished By Time, The Passionate Ones (
