OPINION
Make a change, you’re not standing in glue
By MATTHEW SZCZEPANIAK | Dec. 8, 2021I’ve worn a lot of hats in my life. I’ve stocked shelves and cashed out customers. I’ve tightened turnbuckles and chipped rust. I’ve cooked steak and fried fries. I’ve loaded trucks and supervised outbounds in warehouses. I’ve baked donuts for the Tim Hortons in the SU.

By Courtney Jackson | Dec. 8, 2021In the world’s eyes, I am lazy.

Christmas music gets a bad ‘wrap’
By REILLY MULLEN | Nov. 16, 2021I love Christmas music. I listen to it year-round. My friends groan when they get into my car in July and Sia’s “Candy Cane Lane” is blasting from my speakers.
OPINION
The other 75%
By JUSTIN WEISS | Nov. 16, 2021College has taught me that everyone is going through something — and that more often than not, we don’t have the slightest clue.

‘Never leave your day ones in the gutter’
By ALEX FALTER | Nov. 9, 2021As time flies by, I can’t help but notice the different paths my friends have taken. With every passing year, we’ve all matured into someone wiser — but have also grown further apart.
OPINION
The UB Curriculum is convoluted and ineffectual
By KARA ANDERSON | Nov. 9, 2021The UB Curriculum can and should be heavily critiqued, from its imbalanced requirements between STEM and non-STEM degrees, to its failure to deliver on the ways a UB Seminar will benefit you.
OPINION
We’re not alone. None of us are.
By SOPHIE MCNALLY | Nov. 2, 2021Five years ago, as I readied to go to school one morning, I had a major problem.

People with vaginas: schedule your pap smear now
By NATALIE DOLLER | Oct. 19, 2021I love being young. That may seem unusual, but I love having a fully functioning body, non-graying hair (although with my genetic luck, that will be short-lived) and the promise of endless possibilities.
OPINION
Kyrie Irving’s vaccine views will kill the Nets from within
By BRENDEN WOLD | Oct. 19, 2021Excitement quickly turned to panic among the thousands of fans gathered in Oklahoma City’s Paycom Arena to watch an NBA matchup between the local Thunder and Utah Jazz last March.
OPINION
Geese are UB’s gravest evil
By GRANT ASHLEY | Oct. 12, 2021Every UB student has a goose story. Maybe you almost hit a goose driving to class because it wouldn’t get out of the road. Maybe a particularly aggressive goose built its nest outside of your dorm building a few years back
OPINION
The Canada Geese aren’t the problem. We are.
By JULIE FREY | Oct. 12, 2021Geese-haters are hypocrites. Everything that students get mad at the geese for, they do themselves.

How to put your happiness first

OPINION
Hispanic Heritage Month was never to blame
By KAYLA ESTRADA | Oct. 5, 2021In the fall of eighth grade, Friday nights meant eating too much popcorn, attempting new makeup looks and secretly watching Mean Girls in my best friend’s basement. My friends and I talked for hours about boys who didn’t know we existed, discussed Halloween costume ideas and stalked celebrities on social media accounts our parents didn’t know we had. It was my turn to receive a makeover, and all was well — until one girl scrolled onto a post about National Hispanic Heritage Month.
OPINION
UB should pounce at the opportunity to join the AAC
By ANTHONY DECICCO | Sep. 28, 2021Conference realignment is a cycle that always seems to repeat itself. It doesn’t always have a predictable timetable, nor does it always make sense. But when conferences shift, everything changes.
OPINION
Everyone should work at least one restaurant job
By ALEX FALTER | Sep. 28, 2021Screams fill the trenches on a recent Friday night in August.
