Seriously: Thanksgiving football game ends in injuries, several ER visits

Emma Souza, Collegian Columnist • November 21, 2024
Thanksgiving isn’t just a holiday about gratitude. At its core, it’s a holiday about bloodshed. Long have we normalized — even memorialized — a tradition not meant for regular, everyday humans like us. We try to mimic the gods, these untouchables who dominate the upper echelons of their careers. We pretend our 55-year-old fathers can still throw touchdowns like Aaron Rodgers without throwing out their backs. We wash down our pain and torment with gravy and pumpkin pie afterward.

Astrid Thorn, Collegian Columnist • November 19, 2024
Birth control is a hot topic, especially among female-bodied individuals in college. The beauty of pregnancy prevention lies in its customizability, with modern medicine giving us numerous great ways to keep the babies away. What a lot of people don’t realize is that birth control is almost like medical astrology — the kind of birth control you choose can reveal who you are to your core.

Souza: Continuing to celebrate women’s joy is important

Emma Souza, Collegian Columnist • November 19, 2024
To be completely transparent, the current state of our government — more specifically, the recent loss of Vice President Kamala Harris for president — has discouraged me. Pure joy is the last thing I’ve felt in the past couple of weeks, and I’ve gone through practically every emotion in the book. Each day since then has blurred into one long, continual mess of 4 p.m. sunsets and 10 p.m. bedtimes. I’ve logged nearly 20 hours on my Nintendo Switch.
