Why is psychopathy becoming a trend?

When I went to Cuba over the Christmas break, I read a book called The Devil’s Defender by John Henry Browne. He was one of many lawyers who represented Ted Bundy in the 70s and 80s. In the book, he describes what it was like to represent Bundy and goes into a lot of detail that no one ever knew. […]

The sad realities surrounding the missing Saudi Arabian journalist

For as long as there have been people to criticize those in power for their misdeeds, there have been those with power who wish to silence their critics. In the last three weeks, the story of Jamal Khashoggi thoroughly demonstrates this. Jamal Khashoggi was a Saudi Arabian-born journalist who has been critical of Mohammad Bin Salman (MBS), the crown prince […]

Avoid the guilt: It’s okay to be kinky

Valentine’s Day is a day where loving couples and Tinder matches all over campus meet up to express their undying love for each other – or to have a quick bone session before going back to midterm studying. It’s a day for chocolates, flowers, romantic dinners and the only time of the year that is deemed acceptable to get kinkier […]

Jumping head first into New Year’s resolutions isn’t a good idea

Last Monday, I foolishly left my warm house and walked down to the gym in Antarctica-like weather, for a quick workout. I say “foolishly” not because working out is stupid, but because it’s January and all the people who have the “New Year, New Me” mentality are ALL there. These are the people who, at the beginning of a new […]

Horse race journalism doesn’t belong in politics

At the end of July, the political equivalent to Comic-Con, rightly called “Politicon,” took place in California. Events ranged from movies, to guest speakers, to heated debates between members of the left and the right. One of the main events was the debate between progressive superstar Cenk Uygur, co-creator of The Young Turks and Ben Shapiro, the editor of The […]

Negativity is unnecessary going into the new year

It is safe to say that 2016 sucked a lot. Celebrities were dropping dead left, right and centre. It seemed terrorist attacks became more common and don’t get me started on “Donald the D**k” (as I like to call him). For this new year, I suggest something obvious that some may see as radical: let’s cut it out with the […]

Don’t send that “it’s over” through text

I have a friend here at school — let’s call him Harrison — who was dating a girl we’ll call Brittney. The relationship was pretty serious and they looked really happy together. One day, Harrison got a break-up text from Brittney out of the blue. They were together for almost two years and it ended with one simple text message. […]
