Opinion

Full of opinions, but free of spoilers. If you’re a lover of the songs “We Are The Champions”, “We Will Rock You”, “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” and of course the famous “Bohemian Rhapsody” you were probably pumped for the Queen biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody. As someone who grew up listening to Queen I was super excited for this movie when I saw the first trailer, but at the same time scared that it would be a flop. Rami Malek from Mr. Robot was our Freddie in this film and man did he perform. Throughout most of the film I forgot…

An Experience to Remember

Editorials

BY: Kaleria Jackson I went to my first college football game this year. I went to the Alabama homecoming game against Missouri. I had no idea what to expect when I arrived on Alabama’s campus.

Editorials

BY: Kaleria Jackson Every college student either has an account or is using someone’s account. Netflix is a veteran. Hulu is a rookie. The battle between which streaming services are the best has been up for debate. Understanding which one is the best service is the hardest part.

As time went on Netflix turned completely digital streaming service. Hulu started its streaming services in 2008. Hulu’s streaming service…
