It’s midterms season again. We all know midterms are not the most fun part of the semester, but they are an essential part of the class structure and they indicate that you’ve already made it half way through your studies. They can be very stressful but there are many ways you can de-stress during this […]

You Do Not Always Have to Be OK
In today’s society, there is a stigma surrounding mental health. People throw around the word “anxiety” for anything, but when a person has anxiety or depression, they are frowned upon. Something many people fail to consider is that your physical health and your mental health are directly related. Some people say any feeling you have […]
Pearson of the Year is…
Every year, Time magazine selects a new person as their person of the year. This means that the actions this person has taken over the year, either good or bad, influenced the events of the year. If I was lucky enough to choose a nominee for this honor, it would be you. All of you. […]
A Dog’s Senses
When we were younger, we were often asked what we wanted to be when we grew up or what superpowers we would want. Today, I wonder what animal feature I would want. Would I want to be sly like a fox, have a trunk like an elephant, the speed of a cheetah, or the long […]
A Blast From the Past
We find comfort in the things that transport us to a time from when we were young. For many of us it is a smell, food, sound, or even a toy from our childhood. The nostalgic moments make us long for those simpler and happier times. Often, we find ourselves wishing we could turn back […]
Homecoming 2021: New and Improved
Homecoming is this Saturday, Oct. 2, and I could not be more excited. Everyone has a different idea of what makes homecoming fun. It’s an event that brings students, families, and faculty together in a setting outside the classroom. An environment where everyone can let loose and enjoy themselves. Some people would agree that the […]
Keep Your Notes!
The practice of writing things down—whether it be class notes, random ideas, or journal entries, is immensely important. In modern day, we are so drilled to immediately get rid of our notebooks upon finishing a class because our minds are so geared towards thinking, “When will I ever use that again?” Not only is this […]
Seasons Change
“September, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas. That is how I categorize the last few months of the year. Some people say summer ends on Labor Day, others say it ends when school starts, and some say it is at the fall equinox on Sept. 21. When I was younger, Labor Day was what ended summer for me. […]
Always Remember
“Always Remember.” That is what everyone says every year on September 11th. In truth, unless most people were directly affected by the events on 9/11, they don’t pay much attention to it. Growing up, 9/11 had more than one day dedicated to it. It seems as if people post things on social media on that […]
Feeling all of the Feels
This past week, the question I was asked most frequently was, “How does it feel being back on campus?” Everyone is looking for one answer, but I don’t think it is that simple. Typically, I have responded with, “Its good,” but that’s not the truth. I really want to tell people I feel all the […]
