Jewish students, unfiltered

By Sadie Roraback-Meagher | December 4

On a chilly spring evening in 2024, 150 student protestors placed their arms around each other's backs and gently swayed to avoid being broken apart by police. Tents where protestors had been sleeping for almost a month dotted the Academic Quad, where a large, makeshift wall constructed of plywood and paint stood tall. Despite the break from chanting “From the river to the sea” and “Apartheid kills, Tufts pays the bills,” the scene was tense. A mere two hours earlier, University President Sunil Kumar had issued a “no trespass order” to all students remaining in the encampment. Students anxiously waited to see whether their sleepy Massachusetts campus would erupt into the kind of violent confrontation between police and protestors seen at Columbia University and University of California, Los Angeles.

Can my ignorance be blissful?

By Sadie Roraback-Meagher | September 2

Once I submitted my last final and the freedom of summer washed over me, I made a radical decision: I would not spend a single second of break doomscrolling. Pulling out my deteriorating phone, I gleefully deleted all my social media apps, committing myself to saving my attention span and being morally superior to my peers. But it only took one 40-minute layover on my flight home for me to supplement my need to scroll with another vice: obsessively checking the news.

Water we doing? Gen Z needs to reevaluate their water bottle obsession

By Sadie Roraback-Meagher | May 12

Walking through the halls of Tisch, desperate to find a study spot, my eyes can’t help but dart to what rests on everyone’s desk. No, it’s not books that my peepers are gazing at but the vast array of colorful Owala water bottles that have taken over campus. I don’t think I’ve gone a single day this school year without seeing one of those brightly-colored vessels shoved into the side pocket of a backpack or standing tall on a desk. Even the Tufts Bookstore has caught on to the epidemic, now selling a variety of Owala bottles for students to hydrate with. Yet, as I sip on my microplastic-infused water from my deteriorating bottle, I find myself struggling to understand this trend. Wasn’t it just last year that everyone was clenching their Stanley cups? And what about those insulated Hydro Flasks that would thunder when they hit the floor?

The Conversation: Musk, the apprentice

By Evan Wang and Sadie Roraback-Meagher | February 19

Sadie Roraback-Meagher: Heya there Evan! Evan Wang: Hey Sadie! Sadie: I hope your week has been good so far. I don’t know about you, but for me, looking at the news this past week has been … what’s the word? Panic inducing? Nauseating? Just flat-out horrifying? But hey, at least that ...
