Tyler Reddick became the first driver in NASCAR’s 78 years to win the first three races of the season being the Daytona 500, Autotrader 400 and Duramax Texas Grand Prix. While drivers like Matt Kenseth in 2009 and Jeff Gordon in 1997 came close to winning the first two opening races, Reddick’s performance has lifelong fans to first-timers questioning if early season success should carry more weight in deciding NASCAR’s champion.

The story itself is about a freshman in high school, Charlie, who finds the most unlikely of friends and is forced to deal with the ghosts of his past. Even though the movie put me in a heartbroken state for a few hours, it truly felt so freeing to cry so hard at a movie so beautifully done.

Many of us don’t really think about the media we consume. We live in a consumer-first culture, one in which we continuously take in new content without reflecting on it.

The book may be grimly titled, but its title serves a purpose.

The premise of the show is simple: a historical romance anthology, with each season focusing on a different couple, within a vaguely Regency-era London that is racially diverse.

For college men in particular, this pressure can build rapidly. Taking time to sit with our struggles can feel like a burden, so instead, we often avoid reflection and push through discomfort.
Read More »You have probably used artificial intelligence today without realizing it. Not Googling a question and reading the Gemini response, or even opening up ChatGPT, within the regular apps you open every morning. Spotify deciding what song plays next. Google Maps rerouting you around traffic. Instagram choosing which post you see first. None of that feels blatantly like artificial intelligence, but it is, and it is constantly running. Data centers around the world are burning through electricity and water at an unsustainable rate.

Most people have seen “Heartstopper” or “Heated Rivalry,” and its all fun and games when cute boys are on your screen making out but do many non-gays really understand the depths of what growing up gay or discovering your sexuality is really like? Let’s take a peek into the lives of LGBTQIA+ members' childhoods for just a sec, well at least mine.

Through the library here on campus, students are able to digitally access external journal publications, such as The New York Times. Through this feature students can read text scans of articles from such publications from as recent as the same day.

Empires have risen to great power and turned into dust, and within all of this time, there have been periods of great flourishing and misery.

You can either give into the little things in life that may not be the most responsible choice, but they make you happy, or you could live life like how society tells you to, and fear the public’s opinions.

On one scale, it is casual; the president of the United States insulted the women’s olympic hockey team, meanwhile the men’s hockey team erupted in laughter at this degradation of achievement by female athletes competing in the same sport.

The combination of lederhosen, beer, techno and half-timbered houses is not exactly…enchanting. In the unlikely cases where Germany does find its way onto the list Frankfurt rarely does. For many, it’s either “the airport,” or “that city with bankers.”

The goal of the academy was to take these young women and train them in dance, vocal and stage presence skills, so that they may rise above the competition and take the performance industry by storm.

This is a necessary resource to have in order to maintain the College’s mission of Division of Excellence to persons with disabilities. ARC does not offer the opportunity and help that it has said to allow, but there is still room to improve and truly offer a fully inclusive and easier process for students struggling.
