Don’t cross the picket line! Support striking workers

Workers across the United States are fed up, and rightfully so. Workers at Nabisco and Frito Lay went on strike earlier this year, and Amazon workers across the country have been attempting to unionize their workplaces after the company violated labor laws to crush a unionization effort in Bessemer, Ala.bama this April. Worker shortages have forced some companies...

Read this before choosing a Halloween costume

I sat on the floor amongst a stack of photo albums, watching myself grow a little bit older each time I turned a page. A sucker for both old photographs and the feeling of nostalgia, this is one of my favorite things to do when I visit my mother’s house. I picked up a new album and watched myself head off to kindergarten...

The reason for my capstone tears

If you’ve read essentially anything I’ve written for The Lawrentian in the past year or so, you probably know that I’m a proud first-generation college student. You might even be sick of hearing about it— if so, good. We don’t talk about the experiences of first-generation college students enough; pretending we don’t exist does not minimize the experiences we...

LUCC v. Pro-Life

While some Calvinists might look at ‘goodness’ and quibble about ‘original sin’ and the ‘inherent flaws of man,’ I think I speak for most people when I say babies are good chunkers. With their doughy faces, massive craniums that wobble and cause the body to go tumbling as gravity takes hold, and their open-mindedness regarding what can be consumed off the floor, babies...

Are you really doing your best?

Let’s not kid ourselves, it’s been a long, rough week. In fact, it’s been a long term already, and we're only halfway through it. I’ve been feeling really drained from work, classes and especially the weather. Just trying to be present in the moment is tiring...

The necessity of party-poopery

It’s easy to find things to critique about the two-party system in these United States. From “being out of touch with the electorate” to “enriching themselves with a false dichotomy,” there are all sorts of ways one can credibly squint angrily at the political...

Let’s talk about acne

My first year of college I would wake up extra early every morning and cover my face in makeup. Every pore I had would be coated in foundation and patted dry with powder. I didn’t do this because I wanted to, but because I felt like I had to.
