Discipline for freedom

Mikey Colgan | Tuesday, February 22, 2022

Growing up, I always resonated strongly with the common sentiment: “Why would I willingly do something that I don’t enjoy?” To be honest, it can be difficult to argue against this reasoning at times. When considering the two options of walking 10 minutes in the snow to lift weights for an hour or sitting in

No Yuzuru Hanyu slander will be tolerated

Caitlin Brannigan | Tuesday, February 15, 2022

Figure skating is by far my favorite Olympic sport. From the comfort of the couch in my dorm’s basement my friends and I can judge the outrageous outfits, chuckle at the commentators’ cringeworthy quips and have highly sophisticated discussions of technical elements whenever a skater slips (just for the record, I aced all of these

A new way to measure a nation’s success

Megumi Tamura | Thursday, September 2, 2021

How do we determine whether a country is successful? Great?

I have no idea what I’m doing, but I’ll do it until I get there 

Sydni Brooks | Tuesday, November 10, 2020

While watching “Grey’s Anatomy” in quarantine over the summer, as every decent pre-med student should (Yes, I’m calling you out if you don’t watch Grey’s.), “Street Lights” by Kanye West played at the end of season five episode 10. I know Kanye is quite controversial, but for the moment, I ask we separate the art

Is that it?

Letter to the Editor | Thursday, October 15, 2020

Is that it?   While those of you may or may not agree with the sentiments written in the following paragraphs, that is not the point. For all “man” and “woman” have lived, experienced and thought about their lives in different and unique ways. The words yet to come are just one’s own formulation and understanding

Doing the right thing: Lessons from Phil White

Krista Lourdes Akiki | Friday, February 21, 2020

I have come to notice that our society increasingly values charisma over personality. We are constantly trying to prove to the world we are bold, assertive, capable. Yet, as Susan Cane so gracefully says, “The best talker is often times not the best leader.” This distortion that drives our group dynamics and collaboration has sidetracked
