Given this is the last blog of the year, I wanted to talk about something I only get the chance to do once I have more freetime in the summer: video games. Once school is up and the sun is shining I prefer to retire to the comfort of my basement. One of its highlights […]

Today, I’m going to build off last week’s blog and write more about the research I did on Native Americans this week. As a quick review, last week I went over how Native Americans struggle to gain access to basic resources like water. At the same time, Natives don’t have the power to get out […]

After reading There There, I was curious about more of the specifics surrounding Native Americans today. I was surprised that things like blood quanta to measure ‘nativeness’ even existed, and I wanted to know what was the current situation surrounding things like their territory and sovereignty.    One of the stories I stumbled across was […]

Suburban Dusk BY BERT MEYERS      One girl in a red dress leaves the shopping center with empty hands: and you believe in the future—you’ve seen a drop of blood flee from the luminous cells of a corpse.      But the sky slips a coin in the slot between two buildings.

  In Economics, our discussions somehow keep circling back to the question of how much retirement benefits Ms. Barbino may get in the coming decade or two.

I recently returned from watching the Black Adam movie in theaters, and suffice it to say that the movie was average done well. Overall, the movie is one of the better things to come out of the Warner Bros Studios, yet so much of what should have made the movie spectacular realy brought it down.  […]

  As a kid I never appreciated my mom for the hour-long round-trip drives she would make to take my sister and I to swim practice. These days, I’m not only wiser in the sacrifice it takes to raise a platinum level athlete, but I also understand the nuances in the differences between my mom’s […]

School lunch Every morning during 3rd period Strength and performance, Mr. Benages extols the value of leading healthy lives to us. Last week was about breakfast. Eating breakfast can increase reps by 15%, increase strength by 10%, and increase intelligence by a gazillion percent. Yet no one I know eats breakfast, unless you count the […]

I think that perversely we would all like something really bad to happen. Maybe not forever and definitely without the long term consequences that those kinds of things tend to encompass. Nevertheless, who would not want to try living in a zombie apocalypse or as a swashbuckling pirate. It does not even have to be […]
