Yet, my phone calls remained unanswered, and when I tried to return to normalcy after two weeks of psychological ping pong, my presence made people seem as if they themselves had seen a ghost. Death is inevitable; however, it was if though the mere mention of it burdened the people I wa

Trisha Bloszinsky | Editor Pixabay - Pexels To say it’s not easy being a student right now is an understatement. When the semester began, I felt like I had been thrown into the deep end. Normally, the beginning of the semester allows for some time to ease into classes and schoolwork, but this spring has felt nearly unbearable.  Now is the time when senioritis is hitting some of us hard, and others may just be looking forward to summer. Some of us are worried about graduating

Ryan Gillott | Editor Words cannot express how crazy game seven of the 2025 World Series was… November 1, 2025, will go down as a day I will remember forever.

I was gifted a white LAMY Safari pen, a black Jinhao 35 pen, a glass bottle of Pilot’s Iroshizuku Ku-jaku ink, and a Mnemosyne notepad.  Initially, I was not extraordinarily impressed by the gift.

Naomi Kim | Editor Jeshoots - Pexels Like many other college attendees, I came in not knowing what I would do with my life. I enrolled because I had known my entire life that I would go to college after high school, as well as because it was one of two options I was given by my parents, but I had no ambitions and motivation to do anything. I felt pressured, to say the least, that I had to find something quick, because college is a lot of money (although community college not
