Eating Bugs Might Become an Alternative Food Source
As Earth’s population continues to grow, so does our interest in finding alternative ways to feed more people. This interest has led us to many potential avenues of food, but there is one option that could become the norm in many countries: bugs. Bugs are far from sounding like an appetizing treat, but they have […]
AVERY: Connecticut’s Boutique Rapper
Quiet, Reserved, and Competent: Those are the traits that define Connecticut. Add in the manufacturing, college basketball, and pizza, then you get the state’s true experience. Connecticut’s vibe has caused outsiders to deem it as “boring” and “dry,” but to someone who’s lived within the area – that’s far from the truth. The state has […]
Banning Books is Banning Freedom of Speech
People have long banned books because of sexual content, differing ideologies, and critiques of the government or religion.

“In The Heights,” “Encanto,” “Moana,” “The Little Mermaid,” “Hamilton,” “Mary Poppins Returns,” and “Tick, Tick…Boom!” Shall I keep going? These are all movies and musicals where Lin-Manuel Miranda has worked his magic. Everything Miranda has worked on has been a major hit. In 2002, Miranda and John Buffalo Mailer worked with director Thomas Kail to […]
Can We Just Let Women Age Naturally?
What’s the obsession with looking younger than you are and going under the knife just to look a certain way? Why can’t we just let women age like they were supposed to? It’s probably because of the criticism women get. We hear this all the time, with men (and women) preferring “natural” women but criticizing […]

After years of setbacks, injuries, and heartbreaks – the UConn Huskies Women’s Basketball has finally won the NCAA title. This past Sunday, UConn demolished South Carolina 82 – 59. An impressive feat considering South Carolina was the previous champion. It was gratifying, as UConn has not reached a title game since 2016, so to see […]
