Souza: Northern states are ignorant about hurricanes
Emma Souza, Collegian Columnist • October 14, 2024
Severe weather frightens me, and all I’ve ever dealt with is snow. Well, snow and the occasional Minnesota tornado, but those don’t happen very often. Regardless, I have had the luxury of never fearing the legitimate loss of my belongings, my house or even my own life, so I cannot imagine the sheer amount of pain and loss Florida must be dealing with right now.

Stephenson: Women aren't unfriendly for ignoring male strangers
Leah Stephenson, Collegian Columnist • October 8, 2024
I love meeting new people. But like many other women who are friendly and outgoing, I rarely feel safe striking up conversation with people I come across in public, particularly men. To women, it is unfortunate common sense to stay away from and avoid conversation with unknown men in public; men do not have the same constraints. I am jealous of men because they can be friendly and safe simultaneously.
