Sugar, pumpkin spice and everything nice
I will be honest, when it comes to holidays, hot takes, or pretty much anywhere my opinion is needed, I am a hater by nature. Usually, my initial instinct is to squint and judge as if everything personally wronged me. But even I have my exceptions, and pumpkin spice is one of them. The minute the weather dips below gross and sweaty, my inner fall lover wakes up. I love fall the way people love their pets, so naturally I am pro-pumpkin spice. It is cozy, nostalgic and pretty m


Making a fall bucket list should be on the top of your list
When it comes to being in college, there is a lot of pressure; especially during the start of the school year. On top of academic stress, the fall season comes and the shorter days and longer nights make it seem like time is going by slowly. With these two factors, college students may feel drained and unmotivated. Having a fall bucket list can help the time go by a little faster and be much more enjoyable. Having a fall bucket list gives students something to look forward t


Cinema’s comeback
Have you been to the movie theatre this year? Perhaps more than once? As we are already in the last stretch of 2026 and the numerous successful releases in many different genres, it is likely you have! Directors have been on a summer hot streak with movie releases this year. Cinema is back baby and it is better than ever! Let’s look at the top movies this year and how they changed the game. It is not at all surprising that horror has dominated the box offices this year. Thi


Girls just want to have fun (and a good playlist)
There's something about that moment every year right when spring starts pretending it's summer that feels like a promise. A subtle reminder that soon, we’ll be trading in our winter coats for summer swimsuits, Uggs for Birkenstocks, and midterm deadlines for day trips. Every year, as the seasons shift, I, like many others, feed myself the same delusion: this will be the best summer ever. Everybody knows spring and summer are peak girlhood, no doubt about it. It’s the era o


Easter traditions cracked open
It’s that time of year: almost every store you walk into is plastered with pastel colors, seasonal candy takes up three aisles and stuffed bunnies and chicks are sitting on the shelves begging you to take them home. Spring is upon us and Easter solidified its spot in the holiday decor section. As a child, Easter probably meant you got a break from school, got a basket of goodies, went to church and decorated easter eggs. As a college student, I find myself participating in


The best dad jokes
1) In America, using the metric system can get you in legal trouble 2) I just broke up with my mathematician girlfriend. She was obsessed with an X 3) When I die, I want to be cremated. It’s my last chance to have a smokin’ hot body. 4) What do you call a sad cup of coffee? Depresso. 5) What’s green and has wheels? Grass. I lied about the wheels. 6) Women should not have children after 36—really, 36 children is enough. 7) My friend said that if he went off a cliff, it would


Beyond the brochure: The reality of the USF experience
We all remember at one point or another pursuing the brochure for the University of St. Francis (USF), gazing at each picture and imagining ourselves there in the moment. However, as we all know, such picturesque fantasy is not complete fiction as each hallway, classroom, and dining location tells a unique story. These brochures are one dimensional; they don’t truly capture the actual rhythm of a Tuesday morning on campus. To fully understand and appreciate the USF experience


More than luck: A guide to catch a leprechaun
The information I am about to share is highly confidential and must be taken seriously. It is with great trust that I share my life’s work. I have accomplished the greatest endeavor one can achieve. With endless testing, the countless hours I have dedicated to this and more than my fair share of failed attempts, I know how to catch a leprechaun. First and foremost, there is a limited window of opportunity to catch a leprechaun. Preparation is crucial, since they only make an


Counterpoint: The myth, the money, and the manufactured romance
Every year like clockwork, Valentine’s Day shows up in red, pink and sparkles acting like it owns the place. Suddenly, the world is drowning in heart-shaped everything and even the grocery store strawberries are dressed like they’re going to a high school homecoming. It’s always made me wonder: Is Valentine’s Day actually about love, or is it just a glitter‑covered Hallmark holiday we all pretend to enjoy? Let’s be honest, Valentine’s Day only works if you believe in the kind


Point: Love costs nothing
Similar to most other holidays, Valentine’s Day might feel like just another holiday in which you have to spend money. In reality, it has always been more than just another consumerism ploy. It is our yearly reminder to be present in our relationships and to show people that we love them. Of course everyone would want flowers or a heart-shaped box of candy. However, in the yearly plastering of decoration and needless junk, connection was lost. People feel more obligated to b
