Read MoreThroughout the 21 odd years I have been alive I have had the opportunity and privilege to meet a wide variety of people. From coal miners, to governors, to artists and theologians, I have learned that people rarely are how you expect them to be.
Read MoreI did not run for House exec. I joined the team in the middle of the summer, after a year of remote learning and was unable to attend Statesmanship. I stepped into the position feeling unprepared and unsure about the year ahead.
Read MoreI have known Abby Roth since August of 2019. She was one of three freshmen on the volleyball team who was a Thatcher and at Albee. I have spent countless hours with her at House events, in the occasional business class and, most commonly, trapped in volleyball van rides. If I have learned anything over these near four years of friendship with her, Abby Roth is kind, courageous, dedicated and would be one of the best Student Body Presidents this school has ever, and will ever, have.

Read More(REVIEW) My first ever Sundance Film Festival was spent on a new couch. Having been moved entirely online just over two weeks before the festival’s Opening Night due to rising concerns about Omicron, I canceled my travel plans to Utah and set up my online schedule. The festival took place from January 20-30. I can’t say it was the way I imagined my experience would be, but it was likely for the best considering how many classes I would’ve missed and homework that would’ve gone ignored.

If the Supreme Court rules in favor of Mississippi, Roe will officially be overturned, returning the issue of abortion litigation back to the States where I believe it belongs.

Read MoreIf a young generation of sports fans are indirectly told by their news sources that sports betting is an exciting and fun medium for making possible large gains, they have no other reason to question such messaging. Since a large majority of people who follow these accounts are between the ages 16 and 24 — ages at which most are not even allowed to bet — there's a much higher likelihood that this constant promotion will lead to potential gambling addictions in these younger sports fans.
