After Grad Opportunities

Leah Hilton, a senior Linguistics major, has desired to be a missionary since she heard the story of David Livingstone at six years old. She began her freshman year as a Nursing major because health care is often needed ...
In The Meantime: How to Remain Content In The In-Between
Letter from the Editor
By Julia Swain
If you’re a senior like me, either stepping away from the field you just spent four years studying or staring at graduation with no clear picture of what next year holds (or both), I see you. I’m right there with you.
As much as I’m more than ready to abandon communal bathrooms, dining hall food and the endless slog of papers and projects, there’s a larger part of me that will miss the college lifestyle. I’ll miss the freedom of ...
The new animated ‘Stranger Things: Tales of 85’ brings a fresh take to the original series
By Danielle Cherry
“Stranger Things: Tales of 85” drops fans right back into Hawkins, slotting in right between seasons two and three of the original series. Following the main cast, “Tales of 85” expands on what happens right after Eleven closes the Hawkins lab gate.
Initially, I was skeptical about how this project would pan out. “Stranger Things” season five was such a hit among fans and it seemed like “Tales of 85” was only going to be a cash grab to recapture ...

‘You, Me and Tuscany,’ more like you, me and no plot
By Danielle Cherry
With beautiful views of Italy and an even more beautiful cast, “You, Me and Tuscany” had the makings of a fun romantic comedy. Yet, despite the mainstream actors, it felt like the movie was nothing more than a tour through the Italian countryside.
I’ve got to say, I love a good European based movie, with its cultural stereotypes and jokes that don’t quite land for American audiences. “You, Me and Tuscany” follows American house sitter Anna as she ...
‘This is a Gardening Show?’
By Danielle Cherry
“This is a Gardening Show” is the brainchild of actor/comedian Zach Galifianakis, with the premise mostly consisting of Galifianakis strolling in a garden and making corny jokes.
Where to begin? This show is by far the most unique project that has come out on Netflix in recent history. It contains 16 minute episodes that all follow the same structure: interview with kids, interview with experts and application with children.
While the structure of each ...
