Has the age of “basic” impacted personal style?
(10/16/18 7:30pm)
I recently saw a post on one of those semi-annoying-but-can’t-look-away meme account. The photo was of a group of girls getting ready in front of a big bathroom mirror, and they were all wearing practically identical iterations of the same thing: a denim skirt and a white tank top. The caption said, as if to be sarcastic, “Yeah, girls don’t all wear the same thing.”

Think twice before getting a pet
(10/10/18 12:18am)
The adorable, shining, loving eyes of a dog. That’s what students may be thinking of when they consider buying a pet — a loyal companion to wag its tail ferociously at them when they return from a long, hard day. But despite the heartwarming, fulfilling benefits of having a furry partner, students should take a harsh look at their availability before they make the leap to bring home a pet. It may not only spell discomfort for the animal but could be a commitment that stifles your academic and social opportunities.

The art of the five-minute vote
(09/30/18 10:51pm)
Your voting power is like a sledgehammer. It’s a powerful tool for building, demolishing and shaping things, like the government. But when thrown around carelessly and without a second thought, it can cause permanent damage. Elections are in November, so we’re giving you advance notice on how to conduct your own make-do investigations in lieu of the detailed research you should be doing on the candidates. We’re still a month out, so you have plenty of time. We urge you to take the five or 10 minutes you need to Google the candidate you’re going to vote for. Take a critical look at their policies. Don’t let your gut lead you astray. Even if you only cram in a few Google searches, always vote with your head. Think of it like you do when you rush to complete a last-minute assignment.
