November 23, 2019
As always, I’m back with the Premier League Blog. Last week was a surprise, but I still came out 2-1. I can’t believe Liverpool were up 3-0 against Manchester City (and neither can Pep Guardiola) but sometimes this happens. Anyway, I think this week has a couple of great games that you will want ...

For years I have stayed silent, only glaring and eye rolling, when these types of incidents occur. I see them every week when walking the halls, out for dinner, or shopping at the mall.

It goes without saying that social media has planted itself within our everyday lives. It has infested our slang, our mannerisms, and our society, but has it gone too far?

My dad and Dave do not talk anymore. The two were in the military together in the 1980’s, almost 30 years ago, and still took time to catch up with one another. Through years of basic training, days at the base, and serving abroad, he has chosen to give those memories up. Friendly discourse turned i...

Isaac Bullwinkle, Reporter
November 9, 2019
Everyone speculates about something every day, but do we really think about why? Well, I have. I believe that most of the time speculation is pointless, and we waste time and energy every single day discussing things that don’t affect us and that we can’t control. This is why I’ve decided to s...
