Graduation is coming up and I have been doing some reflecting on my time at Loyola. There is much I am grateful for in my Loyola education, some of the most important being close mentorship, nuanced thinking and foreign languages. As I’ve reflected, this last item spurred a question. I took Spanish...
Editorial: New Carrolton kitchen leaves us wanting
January 19, 2020
After months of simply taking up space next to the turnaround, residential life has finally made the decision to turn the area formerly known as "Deaux" into *cue drumroll*— an on-campus kitchen. Now known as the Carrollton kitchen and lounge, and awaiting an official name, the space will serve...
Opinion: Star Wars fans hate Star Wars the most
January 18, 2020
Growing up with the prequel "Star Wars" movies, the sequels and all the side story movies, I've come to realize that after every single one, "Star Wars" fans strike back. Whether it be a complaint of the movie being too much like the much-beloved original trilogy, being too different or having too...

Most days, I’m in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. I’m very neutral in what I wear on a day-to-day basis. But, some days I walk around in my too big men’s basketball shorts, even though I’ve never played basketball a day in my life and feel like I’m under a microscope. But, maybe that’s...

There’s been a recent influx in film that uses the crisis of police brutality as a plot point. The premise of these films is usually the same: an African American is stopped at a ‘routine traffic stop’ by a police officer, usually portrayed as white, and after an altercation, the African American...

December 7, 2019
Next week, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges will announce whether Loyola will remain on probation for one more year or whether we are finally free from their watchful eyes.

Self-deprecating humor is bad for your self image

I hate myself. No, like actually. I hate myself, not necessarily because of some event, or some tragedy that happened to me. I hate myself because ... I said so. During my sophomore year of high school, I started hanging out with a new group of friends. Within that group, we did a lot of self-deprecating...
Opinion: New Orleans owes a lot to Anthony Davis
November 16, 2019
In about 12 days, the day before Thanksgiving, the New Orleans Pelicans will be playing a game here in town in the Smoothie King Center. Normally, this would be like any other game in the 82 game-long season, but this one will feel different for a lot of people, especially the ones in attendance. This...

Opinion: Don’t film your violent show on my campus
November 15, 2019
Last week, a filming project on campus led to frustrations among students. Some voiced complaints that they couldn’t find parking. Others grew annoyed by the large presence of men carrying camera equipment clogging the Bobet Hall walkways. These minor grievances didn’t bother me much. I live on campus,...

Opinion: Let’s talk about STRESS, baby
November 9, 2019
After waking up after another late Wednesday night at school, one of the things that I enjoy is getting to see my five-year-old little brother in the morning. By the time I get to see him, we have not seen each other for a little more than 24 hours. One Thursday morning, he tells me that he has a message...
