Alisha Khalil, Reporter | May 4, 2021

Dear U.S. Politicians, If I can engage with another student who has different views than me, why is it that people almost three times my age fail to do so? Before all else, students know that they are...

Considering the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the potential hazards associated with it, Governor Chris Sununu's mandate for all New Hampshire K-12 schools to return to in-person learning five days per week is rash and risky.

Governor Sununu is the “April Fool” with his back-to-school mandate

Anna Drabik, Executive Arts and Entertainment Editor | April 7, 2021

When I got the text from my mom, I thought it was an April Fools’ joke. “All schools have to return to a five-day week with in-person classes.” You’re joking, right? … Right? Governor...

What’s the best meal of the day?

Makenna True | March 30, 2021

Why different generations deserve to be treated equally

Rachel St. Louis, Copy Chief | March 26, 2021

Generation Z has grown up watching the first few Pixar movies and playing outside because flip-phones were just for the grown-ups. We’ve binged The Office, we’ve watched toddlers sing “Let It Go”...

Claiming a sports team or music artist as something for only yourself and other "real fans" will only scare off other potential fans and hurt your interest's reputation.

Gatekeeping: Necessary or needless?

Megan Standifer, Reporter | March 22, 2021
