Every 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
Geese-haters are hypocrites. Everything that students get mad at the geese for, they do themselves.
In late August, I arrived at Buffalo Niagara International Airport with two luggage-filled bags and loads of anticipation.
In 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.

Growing up in a predominantly white town with two well-educated parents taught me the importance of being respectful, kind and carrying myself intelligently, traits that are often incorrectly associated with whiteness.
I am so excited to get back to doing what we all love, which is working tirelessly to bring you the news. And we have a ton of news to bring you.
For weeks, I’ve chuckled as the Washington Post and overzealous TikTokers have warned me to prepare for battle.
UB reported 1,060 on-campus cases of COVID-19 this academic year. That number could have been lower. I would know. I was one of the positive cases.
I will be voting “mandatory” in Wednesday’s referendum. Not because SA told me to, but for the future Bulls who will find their friends at trips to NorthTown with the Ice Skating Club or go apple picking with the UB Advocates for Girl’s Education.
Raising a kitten is definitely not as easy as it seems — not even close.
