People person
Story by Hanna BaeEditor-in-Chief Title: People person It’s college app season, and as much as I want to continue to put it off, I can’t. I would be lying if I said that I have no idea of what I want to write about in my personal essays or that I’m lost and don’t know […]
My fragmented identity
Story by Ellie NakamuraPrint Managing Editor As I smothered the last bit of gloss onto my lips, already tinged a violently bright red, I looked into the mirror and couldn’t recognize the person reflected. It was as strange as looking into the mirror when I woke up in the morning and only seeing white, disrupted […]
It’s my column, stupid
Story by Charlotte DekleColumnist I’m having a little bit of a crisis — I am turning into James Carville. For the uninitiated or those who have never seen my phone’s lock screen, James Carville was Bill Clinton’s campaign manager for his successful 1992 presidential campaign. My fascination with this man was cemented when he became […]

Why I’m a patriot
Story by Hanna BaeEditor-in-Chief I didn’t really consider myself patriotic. I thought people who decked out in America merch at every convenience were silly, idiotic even. What is there to be so proud of? The United States — the land of the free, the land of liberty, the land of unity — is, in simple […]
Quinnie’s Opinnies: Sympathy Sucks
Story by Quinn Manzo Print Editor Sympathy makes me really uncomfortable. It’s difficult to tell when it’s coming from a genuine place, and when I receive sympathy from someone, I feel an obligation to thank them profusely for offering me nice words. In the end, I don’t feel any better. Most of the time, except […]
Lilian v sandwich: Who will win?
Story by Lilian Zhu Webmaster Illustration by Martin Walsh Staff Illustrator I ate a sandwich on Sept. 3, 2021 that destroyed all my hopes and dreams. Admittedly, it was my fault since I decided to eat a questionable turkey sandwich that had sat out in my car on a 90 degree day for all of […]
Forcing everyone to love math

People are always focused on increasing productivity, […]
