Artist Captures Recession Times (Openverse/Tim Robinson) Perhaps nothing is as disheartening as sitting down for breakfast, opening the front page of The New York Times and being forcibly removed from my collegiate bubble and faced with the reality of the world. Earlier this week, I had one of these moments. The headlines sounded alarm bells [...]
Wikimedia Commons/Andrew Magill Student debt forgiveness is increasingly popular among young Americans, and it’s not hard to see why. Two-thirds of high school graduates are now enrolling in college. Student debt in the country is at an all-time high. Education is good for society, so it only makes sense to subsidize it through student debt [...]
Emory Wheel/Anusha Kurapati When I visited Emory University in April after officially committing, my information session leader told us — a mix of newly committed, relieved seniors and anxious, anticipative juniors — that we were each expected to have about five to six different career paths. And then she said that half of those career [...]
Emory Wheel/Ben Brodsky Leading up to the November midterm gubernatorial elections, I interviewed Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams as part of a roundtable with other Georgia college newspapers. Representing the Wheel, I questioned Abrams on Georgia issues, student issues and campaign policy. As the first edition of a column focused on debate and resistance to [...]
Wikimedia Commons/Public Domain Late into the eve of fall break, my fellow Complex residents and I were greeted by dirt-brown water in our showers, sinks and bottle refillers. Instead of a warm shower or a glass of water to cleanse the fatigue of travel, we had to brave the cold autumn night to shower at [...]
Wikimedia Commons/Blervis First-years at Emory University know too well the sensation of feeling stuck on Emory’s campus, counting the days until the University allows them a car. Entering Emory, I was also concerned about being trapped — not by the lack of a car, but by Atlanta’s car-dependency and reputation for terrible public transit. From [...]
Pixabay/Parentingupstream Content warning: mentions of suicide ideation and suicide. Physicians may appear to be flawlessly composed in their dapper white coats and clean stethoscopes swung around their necks. Their seamless discussion of medical jargon coupled with their collected appearance creates a powerful perception of excellence. However, physicians’ portrayal of perfection couldn’t be farther from the truth. [...]

How do I know? You’re young, you attend a relatively prestigious university and you are much [...]
Wikimedia Commons / Gage Skidmore With imposing billboards and yard signs plastered around Atlanta, all of us can feel the pressure surrounding the midterm election — and for good reason. Whether it’s health insurance or reproductive rights, countless critical aspects of our lives and bodies will be on the ballot this midterm election season. This [...]
Wikimedia Commons / Gillfoto This summer, I worked at a “high-end” donut shop — believe me, they exist — a somewhat dull job despite its glamorous $5 confectionaries. Like many of my coworkers, I was only there temporarily, looking to make money over the summer and not concerned about the inner workings of the donut [...]
Wikimedia Commons / Office of the Governor of California When I heard about rappers Gunna and Young Thug being arrested for alleged racketeering charges, I couldn’t help but think of the classic Key & Peele sketch, “Rap Album Confessions.” In the skit, Key, as a police detective, interrogates Peele, playing the fictional rapper “Gun Rack” [...]

Content Warning: This article contains references of sexual assault. One thing you should know about me is that I’m known for the clothes I wear: the neon pants, chunky Doc Martens boots and colorful, dramatic printed sweaters. My Instagram bio even proclaims that I’m “chronically overdressed.” My friends sometimes question why I always have to [...]

Taylor Swift recently presented her listeners with a collection of brand-new synth-pop, dreamy songs. “Midnights,” her tenth studio album, is described by the singer-songwriter as a concept album, a “collage of intensity, highs and lows and ebbs and flows. Life can be dark, [...]
