Opinion

South Dakota is currently discussing whether marijuana should be legal or not.  In a little bit, votes are going to be taken into place.  In my opinion, I think it should be legalized because it provides no harm to the body or mind.  Opposers might make arguments on how everyone reacts to drugs differently but […]

Not to bring down the mood too hard but there’s something that we need to talk about. On Sept.18, just a matter of days ago, United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg sadly passed away due to multiple health complications.   This death leaves a hole in the hearts of many, and more topically, an […]

Ruth Bader Ginsburg — the Notorious RBG — a woman who has altered the course of America indefinitely. A woman who encouraged dissent and was not afraid. A woman of non-negotiable intelligence, confidence in the face of adversity and incomparable character. A Supreme Court Justice, a mother, grandmother and a champion of equality.   Justice. A […]

A video surfaced online this week of a Mitchell, South Dakota resident being removed from a school board meeting by two police officers for refusing to wear a mask.  According to the Mitchell Republic, Deb Olson, the school board president, offered paper masks to those who did not bring their own mask at the beginning […]

Green Day’s song Wake Me Up When September Ends really said it best. That song has never felt more real than it does this year.   Summer is gone, but fall isn’t here yet.

I have learned a lot over the four years I have been in college and some reasons why attending college is important for the future.  To some people, it’s about gaining new friendships, partying or having freedom from their parents.  That’s what I was thinking when I was starting my freshman year at USD.   I was […]

Social media can make or break you. We get to live in an age where social media can be your own living portfolio or it can be the reason you lose your job. It just depends on how you use it. Media students, like myself, can benefit greatly from a strong presence on social media. […]

All too often you hear about how college students have a diet of ramen noodles and mac and cheese, or they have one solid meal a day. College students often aren’t eating three meals a day because they can’t afford it. Instead of talking about this issue, it is joked about. The reason many college […]

Dear people who don’t wear masks correctly, It’s really not that difficult. They were designed to cover your nose and your mouth. Yet, yours sits just below your nose. Why is that? Finding a mask that fits is fairly easy. At the vert least, go to WalMart and buy a box of blue disposable masks. […]
