Hello, I’m Rachel. Unless you read my one eclipse article or my unserious quips in the Spec Recs, you didn’t read what I had to say, but if you subscribed to the newsletter, you definitely saw it.
"President Tripathi has not seen fit even to mention this assault, much less apologize for it. The UB community needs to think hard about the precedent he has set."
With each instance that I went headphones-free, I grew fond of the observations and the details that I became perceptive to which enabled me to continue music-free walks.
The University at Buffalo failed its students last week. Instead of listening, instead of holding a dialogue, administrators chose force in a knee-jerk reaction. This runs counter to everything we believe in, and counter to what universities are supposed to stand for.
Every student needs snacks to fuel them through finals, but some snacks go above and beyond what the rest can achieve.
I encourage everyone who asks me about it to write for The Spectrum and to take the ENG 394 class with our faculty advisor, Matt Parrino. Through The Spectrum, I’ve met some of my closest friends here and improved drastically as a writer.
They talk too much. They sing too loud. They dance in the hallways. Theater kids have long been written off as a subculture for drama and inflated egos. But there's more to it.
"We strongly urge a public review of the policies and protocols of UB police, including the protocol for calling in outside law enforcement to campus, and to investigate the ad hoc changes to the campus picketing and assembly policy."

Of all student athletes, male Division I and Division II cross-country runners — my demographic — have the highest suicide rate. As a member of this most affected demographic, I’m here to offer some of my own insight.
With exams, projects, essays, part-time jobs, clubs, and classes, it’s safe to say that students have a lot on their plates. Sometimes it gets to be too much, and we find ourselves struggling. Most of the time, a simple solution is the answer.
Going to a gay bar shouldn’t be the only queer activity — what makes an activity queer at all is a bit of a nonsense classification anyways. But it’s hard to find anywhere else to go, especially in Buffalo. It’s not impossible, but there should be a wider variety of easily accessible queer spaces.
Sex is such a natural human experience, so why are we treating it like it’s something to be embarrassed by or something to be ashamed of? Why do we insist that the less teenagers know, the better off they’ll be?
When I listen to songs, I instantly have a flashback memory from when I first heard them and it makes me reflect on all the different periods of my life and how that music changed me. Here is a list of songs that I have grown up with that have impacted me forever:
If you didn’t watch Iowa vs LSU in the women’s Elite 8 on Monday night, you missed out on a piece of history.
It is our opinion that Dean Schulze is currently acting in a way intended to best counter these unprecedented challenges.
