This isn’t a sappy post about how to move on from your boyfriend or girlfriend. I’m not here to talk about that. A year ago I lost one of my best friends, my dog.

On Thursday it seemed like tension was rising when I saw that UNL was going to remote classes starting this week. Shortly after, UNK followed suit and is moving to online classes after spring break.

I never feel like I’m good with this political talk. I can understand it myself and understand it when others explain it, but I’ve never been good at explaining it to others. A travel ban was set into place in December for people traveling in from China because of the coronavirus outbreak. The U.S. soContinue reading “Two Political Views”

A story that seems to start out nice and cheerful, takes a turn for the worst. A man named Charlie just wanted to celebrate his birthday at work. A few glasses of champagne wouldn’t hurt anyone, right? Well, for Charlie it hurt him. After a long night of drinking and almost getting into a fight,Continue reading “Royko- Charlie Won’t Forget No. 47”

A survey was sent out to UNK students and faculty about what the name of the Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) building should be.
