Gross: Social media is just posting for people who hate you

Dillon Gross, Collegian Columnist March 9, 2022
Social media sites used to be, and still are, platforms for sharing media with people you know. We've all heard social media can be toxic, but we use it anyway. We try to make the most out of a problematic app because it is supposedly fun, and our brains are conditioned to it at this point. It is second nature to check social media when there’s a lull in the day. We already know it’s addictive, but what about what we’re actually posting on social media?

Lopez: Birth control needs to be widely accessible, affordable

Dominique Lopez, Collegian Columnist March 8, 2022
In 2010, the Affordable Care Act was put in place, nearly guaranteeing that people who need medical birth control, such as oral contraceptive pills, would have access to it for free with insurance. However, as the years have continued, the widespread accessibility of free birth control has not been achieved, and many still face a large number of barriers getting birth control. Why is that the case? Why is a prescription that is given to people to prevent pregnancies and also often to help regulate their menstrual cycles or moods so foreign and hard to receive?
