Featured Features: Widows

Full of opinions, but free of spoilers. I have been waiting for this movie since I saw the very first trailer because it shows powerful women kicking butt and taking names. Widows is a movie jammed packed with strong women, crime, and sabotage, seriously what more do you want from a film? One thing I appreciated about this film is that it got to the main point of the film pretty quickly. We find out why these women are teaming up pretty early on, it takes you straight to the catalyst that drives the plot which I thoroughly enjoy. One thing that may come to a surprise to those who have yet to see this film, and it definitely was a surprise to me, is the lack of action. There honestly wasn’t a lot of action and far less than I was expecting. The trailers had me coming into the movie expe...

Featured Features: The Grinch

Full of opinions, but free of spoilers. November is finally here and the hot days have officially been replaced with much cooler ones, so that only means one thing: Christmas movies! Christmas festivities are already taking place and while some embrace the premature celebrations and décor, others look down upon the early hoopla. The latter are sometimes known as a Grinch. You may identify with the frustrations of people practically overlooking Thanksgiving and going straight to Christmas decorations as soon as Halloween ones come down. But, there’s a story by our good friend Dr. Seuss about a creature who hates anything and everything to do with Christmas and his name is appropriately, the Grinch. He’s the sourest of the Grinches, the Grinchest of the Grinches, the meanest of the of them ...

Actor Spotlight: Brittany Vallely

BY: Olivia Crutchfield Theatre AUM may not get a lot of praise on campus from students or faculty that are not active in the department, but Theatre AUM in the last year has been showing out, and it deserves to get some notoriety. The students that make up Theatre AUM are a huge part of the successes that are raining on the department; they deserve their time in the spotlight. Brittany Vallely is a veteran to the stage and is no stranger to performing for hundreds of people. “Theatre is my escape from reality, because when I am acting, I get to go on an adventure. I love telling people stories and making them forget for a while that they are in a theatre. To take an audience through a journey and make them feel some kind of emotion is truly magical to me. I feel like myself when I am...

How to Gradually Get Better at Waking up in the Morning

BY: Savanna Sabb I don’t know about you, but the hardest part of my day is waking up. When the alarm jolts me out of my deep sleep, I’m quickly reminded that I’m an adult. Which means it’s time for me to start “adulting” for the day. That is something I still haven’t gotten the hang of, but that is for another article for another day. I can’t even begin to adult if I’m having such a difficult time dragging myself out of bed. I’m one of those who hits the snooze button at least once every morning, and judging by the number of memes I see on social media about how difficult it is to wake up, I know that I am not the only one. For the people who are like me and it’s a huge ordeal just to roll yourself out of bed, I found a few tips and tricks on how to easily get yourself ready for the day...

Campus Sculptures Are Being Removed

BY: Brittany Vallely After four years being stationed on campus, the sculptures outside the athletics complex have been scheduled to be removed during winter break, according to the Department of Fine Arts. William Fenn, Chair and Associate Professor in Photography, spoke with The AUMnibus about the sculptures. He explained that the following three sculptures will be removed: “Old Soldier,” “Change of Heart,” and “The Head Shrinker.” The sculptures will be returned to the artist that loaned them, Alabama native Charles Lucas. According to Fenn, the statues were only supposed to only live on campus for a year, and the reason is unknown as to why they stayed longer. “The artist may have been fine not picking them up at the time, but the university pays for the insurance on the...

Test Taking… Can I Catch a Break?

BY: D’Cara Hood Tests are a fact of life for us kids in school. Exams help teachers and professors gauge your progress, and measure skills. Exams can also be used as a pointer to areas where improvement can be made. Exams can cause mayhem and stress you out beyond measure. Growing up as a child in grade school and throughout your high school years, you thought tests were a thing of the past. Once you got to college, it was like reliving a bad dream, one where tests came back to haunt you.

Clammy hands, heart racing, the feeling like you have forgotten everything you just studied for- that my friends is test anxiety!  So, let us talk on how to conquer this test taking th...
Suicide Awareness

Suicide Awareness

BY: Kaleria Jackson Suicide has previously been known to be taboo, but now it is a known trending topic: #suicidepreventation. Suicide is the third leading cause of death for ages 15-24 in Alabama. Through the changes and stress teens and young adults experience, this is not uncommon for this age group. On average, there is one person that dies by suicide every 11 hours in the state of Alabama. With suicide being one of the leading causes of death in Alabama, we should at least know the signs and risk factors of someone contemplating suicide. People with mental illnesses are more likely to attempt suicide than those who do not. Healthline says that about 90 percent of people who commit suicide have a mental illness at the time of their death. Depression is one of the most prevalent m...
