Full of opinions, but free of spoilers. This weekend came with the release of A Simple Favor starring, the Tony award-winning, Anna Kendrick as Stephanie, Blake Lively as Emily and Harry Golding, from Crazy Rich Asians (if you haven’t seen CRA go now) as Sean. So, the trailer for A Simple Favor offers you one small detail about the movie, that Emily is missing and no one can figure out where she went to. The trailer also paints a vague picture that the film might be a horror-esc movie? At least that’s what it insinuated to me. What you don’t know about going into this movie is how much you’re probably going whisper under your breath, “What is actually going on?”, to yourself multiple times. I did in fact think, whisper and audibly say that phrase way too many times while watching this fi...

BY: Savanna Sabb Trends come and go so fast before any of us even have a chance to catch on or determine if we like them or not. As college students, most of us are not as much in the loop because we are too busy trying to keep our GPA on the right track rather than worry about the latest dance challenge that has been swarming the internet. I took the liberty in researching what trends have been popular lately because scrolling through my Instagram feed and not having any idea of what the latest memes mean or why people are randomly doing a certain dance is starting to get old. So without further ado the following is a list of 3 trends that have been popular on social media over the last couple of months. #inmyfeelingschallenge: This challenge is probably one that you have most likel...

BY: Chelsea Bassett It’s no secret that top companies like Facebook, Microsoft, and Google make millions of dollars a year; however, these companies share more than just fat paychecks. Every single one of these companies were started by college students. Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook in 2004, Bill Gates and Paul Allen founded Microsoft in 1975 and Larry Page and Sergey Brin founded Google in 1998. It seems that other college students have followed suit by exploring their entrepreneurial side. The following is a list of five companies that were recently founded by college students. 1. Karina Pikhart—Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Class of 2009 Pikhart is the founder of 6 Dot, a braille keyboard and labeling kit. 6 Dot was originally a prototype that Pikhart had created dur...

BY: Savanna Sabb For college students, ramen has always been that go to meal. It’s cheap and very fast to cook which is perfect for college students considering we have very little time to spare and also the cheaper route is always the better route. Because ramen is so cheap and easy to cook, it’s hard not to eat it whenever we need something fast. There is a downside to ramen though it can be a bit redundant and boring.

Meat Basically, any kind of meat will do. Ye...
