Opinion | Classes are important, but so is taking care of yourself

By Emily O'Neil, Senior Staff Columnist • October 4, 2023
Although I realize the importance of attending classes, sometimes it’s just not that plain and simple.

Opinion | Yes, I still face gender bias, even in the political science field

By Emily O'Neil, Senior Staff Columnist • September 28, 2023

Opinion | Normalize self-care and beauty products as gender neutral

By Kelly Xiong, Senior Staff Columnist • September 28, 2023
Beauty products and self-care activities are not exclusive to women — although they’re depicted as such by social media and strategic marketing tactics. Self-care can range from exercising to getting enough sleep to practicing good hygiene. It is anything you do to take care of yourself so you can stay mentally, physically and emotionally well.

Opinion | Stop blaming the American education system for your own apathy

By Sofia Uriagereka-Herburger, Senior Staff Columnist • September 25, 2023
The way that people perform authority when discussing politics in this country, particularly in spaces labeled as vaguely “intellectual,” is a pastime almost as American as forcing kindergarteners to say the pledge of allegiance

Opinion | AI Writing is Not the Answer

By Jameson Keebler, Senior Staff Columnist • September 22, 2023
I know that artificial intelligence will get better and I can’t judge it for the bad writing it produces right now. What is important is to appreciate the process that creates good writing.

Opinion | Neoliberalism is a disease

By Sofia Uriagereka-Herburger, Senior Staff Columnist • September 19, 2023
