Let’s Zoom out and take a look at this year. We are back in the building, masked up, and ready to get back to normal. I sent out a survey and students added some input on how getting back into “normal” is for them.

Imagine facing all hell and the All-Mighty, watching some of the most horrific and inhumane scenes in history, and putting your life on the line for a generation of entitled brats who don’t think twice about the sacrifices you made for their freedom. Veterans and military personnel are the only reason we have this country to begin with; only two days of the year are set aside to honor them and the majority of people don’t even bat an eye. Veterans Day is not another day off, it’s a day to honor and commemorate people who have served our country so that we can have the rights we take for granted today. 

Thanksgiving: a time for gratitude, appreciation, not mentioning politics when your family comes over, and pretending your aunt’s cooking doesn’t make you want to...

It’s no secret the last few months have been difficult for the forty-sixth President of the United States. Questions over Biden’s economic policies, handling of classified documents, and, above all, his mental fitness have been repeatedly raised. But a recent transcript of the Delaware native’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur, as well as March 7th’s State of the Union Address, are, to supporters of the president, glimpses of the classic Joe Biden that was elected President.

On October 14th, 2022, two activists from Just Stop Oil threw a can of soup at Van Gogh’s Sunflowers in the National Gallery, London, protesting new oil production in the UK. Asking the shocked public “What is worth more, art or life?”, the two subsequently glued themselves to the wall. Although throwing soup at paintings may seem wholly unrelated to climate change at a first glance, I would argue that they are linked.
