| 1 | The reality of politics: What will the future bring? by Brigid Rankowski · Opinions | Volume 129, Issue 5 As we all are aware, the United States just finished a historical election. Not only were the candidates something unique to the election, but the media used were also unique. Four years ago, YouTube was nonexistent, Facebook was just a small project by a few friends and bloggers were confined to their limited groups of friends. The rise in new sources of media is definitely impacting our views on the world and will continue to for the foreseeable future. |
| 2 | Trying is not the same as achieving: Personal failures at exercise by Brigid Rankowski · Opinions | Volume 129, Issue 4 I feel that working out directly affects my laziness time. Everyone needs those minutes/hours to do nothing but hang around; it is only natural. I use those breaks to clear my head and unwind after hanging out with friends, doing laundry, doing homework, participating in clubs and other things that might be considered active. Nothing feels better than lying in my bed and watching “Doctor Who” after having not been back in my dorm for 12 hours straight. |
| 3 | The reality TV addiction by Brigid Rankowski · Opinions | Volume 129, Issue 3 So while I am writing this, I am of course watching a reality show. Why? Reality shows give us a chance to look at the lives of a dozen strangers and how manipulative they can be when money is at stake. Now, I am not saying all reality shows are bad; on some shows they build houses and lose weight. However, I really don’t like such relatively useful shows. Give me a Bravo, MTV or VH1 reality show any day. I am sure there are dozens of people at this school who have the same addiction to reality shows that I do. The catfights, the backstabbing, the hidden alliances and general drama associated with reality shows are something not even the best soap operas can copy. |
| 4 | Looking to yesterday: “The Oxford Project” by Brigid Rankowski · AE | Volume 129, Issue 2 Imagine taking a random picture today, nothing special about what you were wearing or anything. Then think of the future; imagine taking another picture on another ordinary day. Would you still be wearing the same type of clothing? Would you stand the same way? Would people be able to see the toll of the years written on your face? One man, Peter Feldstein, started a project in 1984 to take a picture of everyone in his small town of Oxford, Iowa. He had no idea of how big or meaningful his project would become. |
