Op-Eds
identity
The infinite supermarket of labels
Nowadays, there is a special term for almost everything under the sun.
affirmative action
Why affirmative action is beyond pity points
My best friend in high school was Brown, queer, and a woman in STEM. And she made sure everyone knew it. Especially college admissions officers.
activism
This is what cancel culture taken too far actually looks like
The right absolutely loves it when the left eats their own. Because it makes us weaker.
addiction
The smells of cigarettes and alcohol
I never believed my parents to be addicts. Or maybe I did notice, but it never seemed wrong.
goals
2022 is “MY” year
Isn’t it absolutely bonkers that every year, we subject ourselves to the idea of keeping up with one particular “promise” for the entire year, when most of us can’t even stick to the same Starbucks order for more than a week?
equality
We need to stop undervaluing our student workers
It’s terrifyingly normal for university administrations to undervalue their student workers, especially in the profit-driven world of private universities like UR. Student workers and their needs are simply never a priority.
guilt
A guide to doing ‘nothing’
So go on, don’t feel guilty about doing nothing after finals. Start that Marvel movie marathon you’ve always wanted to.
change
Why the modern Renaissance man needs to change
I don’t see how conformity is worth the risk of an almost inevitable collapse of personal spirit and drive.
Op-Eds
I’m a big kid now
So, what’s the point of going against my norm and not going home? Well, it’s to make sure that I have the space to develop as an individual.
