Tusk:WTF
I would consider myself a big horror movie fan. From physiological to the run-of-the-mill slasher, I can find something enjoyable in any subgenre of horror. And so I thought that the film, “Tusk” (2014) would be a fun watch for me and my sister to pass the time since I enjoy horror films. But… But […]
Can We Truly Separate The Art From The Artist?
In our current society, seemingly more and more public figures within the government are being exposed as being horrible people. This additionally extends to the entertainment field, specifically the musical industry. However, instead of deplatforming such people and demonstrating that we do not condone their actions, we instead still listen to their music. To offer […]

Purses: My Guilty Pleasure
Okay, so I am a little late in my obsession with this, but trust me when I say: I love purses. Like, a lot. After buying a cute little purse last summer, my obsession with purses has awakened, and I fear it may never stop. And I do not want to. Every girl has to […]
Why We Like Star Wars
May the Fourth be with you, everyone! The time has come again as we celebrate and appreciate National Star Wars Day! First organized in 2011, based on the pun, “May the Force be with you,” we still recognize and celebrate the day in 2026! Until recently, May 4th was not a day I recognized. Not […]
I No Longer Recognize America
Seemingly, it looks like we stray farther from normal society towards a distorted and unfamiliar civilization that is reminiscent of dystopian books. Novels such as “1984” (1949), “Fahrenheit 451” (1953), “Animal Farm” (1945), and “The Handmaid’s Tale” (1985) used to seem so extreme and exaggerated to the point that they could never, ever happen. Displaying […]
Why We Want to Belong
As a society, we often engage in sports for the wellness benefits of physical activity. Whether it’s softball, rugby, football, or gymnastics, sports offer significant health benefits for players engaging in such physical activity. While this fact holds merit and is a valid advantage in playing sports, I argue that we, as a society, additionally […]
Sports And Uniforms: Performing For the Male Gaze
In many aspects of our society, nothing is equal when it comes to gender and gender identity. And this depressing fact extends to sports as well. While I could discuss the inequity in the pay and wages gap between male and female athletes, another inequality plagues sports: uniforms. Take a look at the male uniforms […]

Calling for young, eligible men between the ages of 18 and 25 to be automatically enrolled into the military draft, taking effect in December of 2026.

Are ESports Really Sports?
When I first heard the term “esports” in high school, I remember being very confused. Because esports are not really sports. Not in the traditional sense, in my opinion. While there are a few parallels between esports and traditional sports, esports does not meet the criteria to be officially classified as an actual sport. First, […]
Is It Truly Freedom of Speech?
“It’s freedom of speech!” “Freedom of expression!” Such thoughts are often echoed and repeated when an individual shares their thoughts and opinions that might be seen as controversial. And why not? If the public responds negatively to such controversial opinions, all that one needs to say it is their right as American citizens to exercise […]
