“Heathers” musical a hit

You couldn’t pay most people to go back in time and spend another day in high school. Everyone witnessed the kind of cruelty that can happen within those walls. Released in the late 1980s, Heathers became a cult classic by offering a darkly comical twist on the...

March Letter from the Editor

It’s hard to believe that spring is almost here! It’s been so unseasonably warm outside that it feels like winter never really came. As a true lover of winter, I have to say that I’m a little disappointed. However, I’m happy to present you with the newest issue...

February Letter from the Editor

 February is the month of love, the month of reading week, and — in my opinion — the last real month of winter. Some of you will scoff at the bookends of that sentence, but Valentine’s Day is here whether we like it or not, and March is a crapshoot when it comes to...

Stretch it out

January Letter from the Editor

Welcome back from the holidays! It’s time to get ready for a new year and a new semester. I hope that all of you were able to get plenty of rest and spend time with your loved ones. Relaxation and a social life are key elements of emotional and psychological...
