Everyone has been late to a class, or even missed one, and usually, the student is at fault. You lost track of time, woke up late, or could just be having a terrible day. At the beginning of the year, I was late to almost every class that didn’t follow […]

Do you know whom you’re voting for? The rest of society doesn’t think that we college students have an interest in or knowledge about politics. We’ve heard it before: we need to “get involved.” We are content with living and believing that the political world doesn’t directly affect us. For […]

The United States has been preparing for a war with Iran for years, and in fact tried to instigate one in 2007, under President Bush. This was never reported by the mainstream media, yet it is an important piece of evidence to look at when considering whether Iran actually poses […]

With the election drawing ever closer, it is important to be fully aware of the candidate challenging the presidency.

Marijuana needs to be legalized. It has been used medicinally and recreationally for thousands of years, yet the U.S government made it federally illegal in the 1970s. The government tried prohibition against alcohol, which we all know failed miserably, and in fact was the birthplace of organized crime. So why […]
