People are like oranges: they have a lot to offer, but there’s a finite amount of juice in each one. No, don’t be alarmed, I haven’t gone all Hannibal Lector from midterm madness—I’m not talking about actually juicing humans. What I mean to say is that we all have a finite amount of energy to […]
Payson Canyon’s recent “Bigfoot” sighting seems highly suspect First off I would like to go on record as saying that I believe that Bigfoot – Sasquatch, Skunk Ape, Yowie, Yeti or whatever else you want to call it – is real. In my completely biased opinion, there is a vast amount of physical evidence and […]
Ben Roden Asst. Arts & Culture Editor Sometimes, despite my most meticulous planning, I end up with extra french fries at the end of my combo. Over the years, I’ve developed a system that ensures burger and fries cross the finish line in unison. This may seem like a trivial achievement, but there are variables […]
This elections season is my first at UVU, and my social media pages are being flooded. I identify as an African-American students. With all the attacks and brutality in the news, it’s difficult to have students at UVU, most notably the current Executive Vice President considers race to be part of the non-traditional students spectrum.

There is a new bill working it’s way through the state capitol that will intensify hate crime punishments. There’s a lot of debate as to whether or not this is necessary or worthwhile. Much of the states conservatives are feeling that they are being punished for a “thought,” but what really separates a thought and […]
Many a time I have wandered to the fridge, stomach growling, only to find that there is nothing there to satisfy my appetite. There’s definitely food there, but it’s a mishmash of incompatible ingredients that wouldn’t taste good in any combination; a single slice of American cheese, a liquefied head of cabbage, and a half-empty […]
I recently started working a job uptown that necessitates an hour-long commute on Frontrunner. My preferred method of transportation is driving, so I’m a newcomer to the world of public transportation. So far, I’ve found it a fun experience due to the scenic views, the lack of traffic and the ability to focus on other […]
It’s impressive to me how much technology has influenced and changed our daily lives. I think back to when I was 16. Having a cell phone was a privilege and I was so grateful to have my first job. Cell phones were so new that they weren’t allowed at work or school (which hasn’t changed […]
