Sophia Masia, Staff Reporter January 22, 2025

Although nothing really changes from Dec. 31 to Jan. 1, I think it’s important that we as humans have a moment to reflect on how things are, put it behind us and decide that the future will be different....

Seymour: Braiden’s lunch rush makes food less enjoyable

Charlotte Seymour, Collegian Columnist January 21, 2025
I’m sure some of you have sat in class while your stomach rumbled, and you can’t even begin to focus on anything except the thought of filling your stomach. Once the class ends, you rush to the dining hall to fulfill your desires with a juicy meal. But once you walk in, the line is wrapped around the hallway, there isn’t a single open table in sight and your stomach grows angrier.

Pavelko: The Collegian fuels nonjournalism students’ passions, knowledge

Hana Pavelko, Collegian Columnist January 20, 2025
As a first-year student, it is easy to become overwhelmed by all of the clubs and student organizations trying to catch your eye at the beginning of fall semester. During the first few weeks of school, clubs are on the Lory Student Center Plaza with candy, games and flyers trying to increase membership.

Seriously: I’m a Collegian editor from 1924 — I have some thoughts

Chloe Waskey, Collegian Columnist December 6, 2024
After spending hours trying to figure out what a “website” is and how it works, I have successfully navigated through The Collegian catalogue and I have some notes.

Weishaar: History provides quirks that make it extremely interesting

Audrey Weishaar, Collegian Columnist December 6, 2024
History is awesome. I think it is, at least. Everyone has to learn history, right? We’ve all gone through the basics and learned about the Roman Empire and the American Civil War. And maybe something stuck out and caught your interest — or perhaps not. Perhaps you were uninterested or bored or didn’t see the point in learning about stuff that happened a few hundred years ago.

Dominique Lopez, Opinion Editor December 4, 2024

Seymour: Print newspapers still deliver importance to communities

Charlotte Seymour, Collegian Columnist December 3, 2024
How many times have you sat in a recliner chair on a Sunday morning, sipping coffee while reading the newspaper? I am sure most people have recently found themselves in that situation — or a similar one — fewer than a dozen times.
