The film first caught my attention in light of my own socialist sympathies, but has since left me with the burning question – is it boredom or […]

I just noticed something strange while glancing at the calendar. The end of the semester is literally 60 days away. The clock is already running out, even though it seems like we just returned to Crete after the break. To be honest, there is a stressful atmosphere on campus now. While half of us are

But with a situation.  Spring break is T-minus

I am so incredibly astounded and proud of Team USA’s hockey performance at these Winter Olympics. Of course, I’m talking about the women.  Sixteen of Team USA’s players and Twenty-three of Team Canada’s players were from the Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL), the best hockey league around. No, seriously, none of our players have ever

Last Monday, I walked into the Bagels & Joe on Pioneers Blvd. in Lincoln at 7:30 in the morning to the smell of burnt bagels. Not exactly the sweet cream cheese and coffee aroma I was expecting to walk into. I had already miscommunicated with my friends about which location we were even meeting at,
