BY ANDREW KRUSZKA, STAFF WRITER Everyone looks forward to those birthdays, right? You have to know what they are! The birthdays that most Americans get all excited and hyped for are, without a doubt, your 10th, 13th, 16th, 18th, 21st and then any time when you turn an age with a zero in it. Let…
BY MEGHAN BAEHL, CONTRIBUTING WRITER I am aware that not everyone shares my music taste, but I will do my best to convince readers to, at the very least, attempt to listen to one song from each album. I am aware the term “ladies first” is archaic, but in this case, I feel so strongly…
BY MEGHAN BAEHL, CONTRIBUTING WRITER This is in no way a smear piece on any other animal prints (unless they are made from actual animal hide, and that is an entire argument on its own), but rather a justification of why cow print is far superior. Animal print, whether you choose to accept it or…
BY ERICA GUSTAFSON, OPINION EDITOR Every year, time seems to make a b-line straight for the first day of classes and seminars. Whether students want to or not, the school year approaches as fast as a plane taking off down the runway. With lectures, quizzes, exams and attendance come the dreaded note of classroom participation.…

BY FRANKIE VANSICKLE, STAFF WRITER Comfort Zones, we all have them. There are a multitude of comfort zones. For each and every single person, a comfort zone looks different.

BY ANDREW KRUSZKA, STAFF WRITER Hey, you. Yes, you. What are those shoes you’re wearing that have holes in them with the cool design or with the comforter in them? I’m betting you guessed it. They would be crocs. What’s a croc? Well, we know by just normal human knowledge that croc is short for…
BY ERICA GUSTAFSON, OPINION EDITOR “Wow! Look at you all dressed up today! Who are you trying to impress?” If I had a dollar for every time someone – whether a family member or friend – has said this to me, I would have enough money to pay off my college debt from St. Bonaventure…
BY MAX MCAULIFF, STAFF WRITER Former “Star Trek” Captain Kirk actor William Shatner made history this month, becoming the oldest person to ever go to space.

BY ERICA GUSTAFSON, OPINION EDITOR When asked about a person’s biggest fear, most people might say heights, spiders, snakes, the ocean or a long list of things that can send shivers up and down their spine. They can be things that make a person anxious or even run away in panic. In all of these…
BY JAMES RUMSCHLAG, CONTRIBUTING WRITER We’ve all been there, and we all love going. The St. Bonaventure hockey games. The Bonnies games are played at the rec center down in Olean proper, but what if Bonaventure had its own rink? This would help save some bit of gas for students who live on or close…

BY MAX MCAULIFF, STAFF WRITER The leaves beginning to change and the weather growing colder can only mean one thing, fall is upon us. While the days grow shorter, colder and darker, there is a different feeling in the air. The cold air is crisp and nips at any exposed skin, reminding one that it…
BY ERICA GUSTAFSON, OPINION EDITOR A college or university experience is not supposed to be a walk in the park. I learned that the hard way walking in as a shy and nervous freshman. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I wasn’t quite sure if I would find my place as…
BY MAX MCAULIFF, STAFF WRITER The movie theater versus streaming service debate is one that is constantly talked about in the media.

BY FRANKIE VANSICKLE, STAFF WRITER As we are reaching the end of the year soon, I look back at the beginning of the year which seemed so chaotic to me. When we start the new year, we always try to see our goals. My goals for last year were to be more relaxed and to…
BY MEGHAN BAEHL, CONTRIBUTING WRITER I am in no way criticizing the efforts dedicated to finding Gabby Petito. The slaying of Gabby is a tragedy, no doubt, but so is every other missing person case regardless of race or gender. So why is there such a hyper fixation on her? My criticism stems from the…

BY ERICA GUSTAFSON, OPINION EDITOR I will not lie. I have been a “Friends” television show fan since my early childhood. Once the show first popped on the screen at my house, I was hooked. It is just an iconic, relevant and hilarious show that can be so addictive to watch. Though many people tell…
