This term seems to have left everyone far more exhausted than any other in recent memory. From the added stress of online classes to the severe lack of social interaction that helps keep us pushing in the late weeks of every term, the whole student population seems to be running low on fumes.

All the f*ckery done by The Lawrentian:
Note: Yes, we realize our section is largely a bunch of white or white-proximate people, but shit is shit regardless and needs to be called out for what it is. “Racists end up aging like cottage cheese, and there is a burden and tons of intellectual labor that goes along with waking racists up to…
Oh, the places you’ll go, Joe
Before I get into this article, I’d like to congratulate you on making it to the end of this term, be you student, staff or civilian. The term was a bugger enough for me, and I have a stable home environment with plentiful resource access and time, so I can only imagine what…
