April Fools: Men and women can never be ‘just friends’

Burnt Egg, Professional Gossip March 30, 2022
As a college kid, you may have come across the sentiment that guys and girls can never be simply friends due to their innate attraction to one another, leaving no space for platonic love — only sex; however, I’d take it one step further and say men and women should never be friends in the first place.  As a certified girl’s girl — a glitter-loving, dramatic and taking-up-more-space-than-allocated girl — I have the wits about me to say it’s not that girls can’t be friends with men, it’s that we biologically should not be friends with them. We’re just wired differently.

Lopez: Stop questioning the legitimacy of transgender athletes

Lopez: Stop questioning the legitimacy of transgender athletes

Dominique Lopez, Collegian Columnist March 30, 2022
From a young age, we're taught we can play sports, be a part of the arts or just simply be anything we want. If we chose to play those childhood sports, that often meant we played on small coed teams; that was the norm. It wasn’t until we reached our middle and high school years that teams began to be shaped by gender.

Meltzner: Streaming services are preying on younger users’ wallets

JD Meltzner, Opinion Editor March 29, 2022
Recently, Netflix made two major changes to its business model that target the wallets of its customers, specifically those in the 18-28 age range.  These moves specifically target this demographic and do so because of the hostage market that represents the 20-somethings age range. Netflix knows this, doesn’t care how predatory it is and is doing it anyway.
