The Oxford Comma: Lessons from a novice traveler

Hi everyone! I hope you had a rejuvenating spring break! As you all return to your classes this week, I am beginning my six-week-long Easter vacation here in Oxford (or “Vac,” as they like to call it). Actually, ‘here in Oxford’ isn’t quite correct, because I’m coming to you live from Budapest, Hungary. As you can probably guess, I’m going to talk a little bit about traveling today!

Escape the Library: Sip Café Boston

Spring has arrived! The days are longer, the grass is greener, the slush is slowly melting away. If you’re anything like me, you’ve been anxiously awaiting the sun’s arrival and the idea of studying while cooped up in a library seems less appealing than ever. My solution: Sip Cafe Boston!

Just over a year ago, former family vlogger Ruby Franke from Springville, Utah was sentenced to prison for child abuse, sparking a movement to pass legislation aimed at protecting children featured in social media content. Earlier this month, Utah became the fourth state — and the first red state — to enact such legislation.

Full Court Press: Making bank on the Big Dance

Although buzzer-beaters and ads with Charles Barkley are great, my favorite aspect of March Madness is undoubtedly its ability to turn players into stars in the blink of an eye. While some of these sensations don’t end up succeeding at the next level (sorry, Sindarius Thornwell — I really thought you were the next big thing), others, like Steph Curry at Davidson, show their first flashes of greatness on the hardwood in March.

Painting out free speech

As a child, I was frequently labeled a “social justice warrior” and often told I would “make a good lawyer” by random adults. These designations stemmed from both my loudly vocalized views and my tendency to correct any comments that I deemed offensive or not politically correct. Evidently, I have retained my label of passionate verbalization, given that I am the executive opinion editor of the Daily. Yet, over the years, I have drifted away from my strong moral convictions. Nowadays, I often find myself torn between two extremes, taking a moderate stance on issues. I even justify reasoning that ridicules the very identity groups that I am a part of. I try to understand religious justifications against gay marriage. I take a step back, wondering why people believe in a Jewish conspiracy. My tolerance for other views often leads me to question my morals. Perhaps I am too flexible.

Bostonians call for democracy on International Women’s Day

Every year, March 8 marks International Women’s Day, a holiday dedicated to honoring women’s achievements and progress toward gender equality. Yet, for many, this year’s observance felt different, as a heavy sense of urgency permeated the air. With restrictive policies under the new administration threatening to reverse hard-won gains, the specter of setbacks loomed large, igniting fresh fears. But it also sparked renewed determination to rise up and fight back.

Ukraine at War: How private initiatives help Ukrainian universities adjust to the war

Russia continues its attacks on Ukraine despite the attempts of peace talks. Meanwhile, the rocky relationship between President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin diverts the media’s and, consequently, the international public’s attention from the ongoing war. At the same time, Ukrainians continue to adjust to their dreary realities, finding ways to go on with a semi-normal life. In the realm of education, one example of such an adjustment is a charitable initiative by the venture builder CLUST, focused on creating smart shelters for students at Ukrainian universities.
