“Trinkets” Review
Alyssa Johnston Year: Senior Major: Writing Hometown: Southlake, TX If you’ve ever found yourself scrolling endlessly through the LGBT+ section of Netflix after finishing Sense8 for the hundredth time—then ultimately giving up in favor of Marathon #101—this is the review for you. As fun as it is to stick with characters already familiar to us, it’s healthier… Read more →
“It: Chapter 2” Review by Caroline Pope
For the movie-goer who can handle a good jump scare, It Chapter 2 is a film you do not want to miss. Directed by Andy Muschietti, the film is simultaneously frightening and alluring.

“Good Boys” Review by Victoria Way
“Good Boys” is an R-Rated comedy directed by Gene Stupnitsky. It is from the producers of the movie “SuperBad” and “Neighbors.” I noticed many similarities in humor and content between “Good Boys” and the previous movies done by Seth Rogan. Many people claim that “Good Boys” is the modern day version of “Superbad” and shows how children in this… Read more →

In a state of meditation with closed eyes and open ears, I sat and listened to ten relaxation cassettes made for a different world.

Also, it’s been seven (?) weeks and I’m still waiting to see if Colton runs off with Chris Harrison, or any male for that… Read more →

Running for A Cause By Melissa Countryman
I used to have a shirt that read, “I only run if I’m being chased by wild animals, so I’d start running if I were you,” or something to that effect. I was officially in the three mile a year club (the Navy requires us to run 1.5 miles twice a year). However, recently, I’ve been trying to get into… Read more →
Librarian of Auschwitz Review
By: Brittany Bunzey I convinced my parents when I was around seven-years-old that I was afraid of the dark. I convinced them that in order for me to fall asleep, I needed them to leave the closet light on, and every night, after they left my room, I’d slide out of my bed, pull out my book, and sit in… Read more →
