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. We aren’t to midterm yet but tests are starting. A large part of me is just rooting for September to pass by as quickly as every other […]

I find it odd that so many guys still use those nasty 3-1 shampoo-conditioner-body wash combo bottles or just straight up body wash on their hair. Maybe you don’t care, but you really should. There’s something to be said about the stigma that men don’t care about our skin or hair because we’re “manly men” […]

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 […]

We, the students of USD, are a parasite to this town. That’s a bit dramatic, but it definitely gets the point across.   University students everywhere are wondering how many days they have left on their campus before getting sent to their parent’s basement or cooped up in their apartment yet again. Amidst this wondering, there can be found […]

It’s fast approaching the time of year when exam weeks have begun, students are settling into class routines and the ever-present question “what are you going to be when you grow up?” is looming. It’s easy to focus on the red markered dates on the calendar, getting through the week, and absorbing as much content as possible. […]

People all over the country have been gathering to march for the same cause in the last few months, years and even decades. Marching for freedom. Marching for equality. Marching for those who can’t march for themselves. The Cultural Wellness Coalition hosted a Justice for Black Lives March on the USD campus last Wednesday, where […]
