Dining during a pandemic: a critique
It’s been over two months of school, and students have had the chance to experience all that USD has to offer — including its food. Now, if you’re anything like me, you love to eat. But we also need to eat. Which brings us to the main issue at hand — campus dining isn’t up to par. It is hard to […]
TikTok: An untapped opportunity
Yeah I got addicted to TikTok over quarantine. Just like everyone else my age. There was nothing to do but scroll through the random videos that popped up on my endless For You Page. But now, I’m glad I did. TikTok works differently than other mainstream social media platforms. You can follow people but they […]
Don’t Let Social Media Control You
If you’re like any of the rest of us with a Netflix account and internet you’ve probably seen The Social Dilemma and are either unbothered because its 2020 or no longer have social media. While I think the latter of the two is a great idea I understand that the idea of disconnect is a really scary […]
Domestic Violence Awareness Month During a Pandemic
If you take a survey of random students walking around campus on their opinion of dating violence, you’ll likely get an agreed-upon — dating violence and abuse is not acceptable. Many people know the signs of an abusive relationship and when something is not okay, but how many know what to do or how to […]
The importance of pets
Pets can be important to the individual human because of the mental and physical pleasure they give. Mentally they can boost your serotonin, lower stress and can provide entertainment.

Health, cyber privacy important now more than ever
Whether it be personal health or online security, privacy is important to ensure people feel safe and can trust others with their information. We take our individual privacy for granted and it’s easy to believe that our history and data will always be safe inside our devices, however with everything becoming more technologically advanced it […]
Joe Biden, the Trojan Horse of Modern Democracy
Psst, hey! Kid over here! I’m the Democratic National Committee, you want to vote for a candidate so that we can put a different person in power and usurp your vote? Hahahaha, it’s funny because it’s true! While the DNC is not literally trying to coerce you into a white van on the street after […]
The flaws of fast fashion
We have all seen the instantaneous arrival of a certain accessory or clothing item. The trends that seemingly leave as soon as they appear, the one red carpet dress that finds its way into every department store lining the street. It’s hard to miss the same shoes, purses, and pants on each rack, from chic […]
Manifesting and goal setting
Any time of the year is a good time to set goals and manifest your desires, but this time of year is arguably the best. Scientists have said that the best time of year to set goals is September, so coming into October your manifesting skills should kick into overdrive. Don’t worry if you didn’t set your goals in September, […]
Celebrate gratefulness everyday
“It is not happiness that brings us gratitude. It is gratitude that brings us happiness” -David Steindl-Rast. Every year we have a day for giving thanks. This weekend was Canadian thanksgiving and being a Canadian, I celebrated with some friends. As the night closed, we shared what we were grateful for. Sometimes the idea of Thanksgiving seems silly to me because why should […]
