Re-adjusting to the hustle and bustle of college life seems like a more daunting task than getting into it for the first time. After a summer of falling back into old habits and working the kind of jobs that made me want to go to college in the first place, I am not mad that…

Confessions of a Thirty-Year-Old Kevin: Is Yang the Futurist America Needs?

A hot take on pugs
I have a controversial opinion: pugs aren’t cute. Don’t get me wrong, I love animals and I would play with a pug if it came up to me. However, even though I’m an atheist, I still think they are an affront to God. Like most dogs, they are prone to health problems like hip dysplasia.…
