Could an online test understand me?
Jonas Doerr- I was discovering my number. Click. Click. Click. Truity.com was guiding me through it, asking personal question after personal question. This wasn’t a phone number, although one might still ask for this number at a bar. This was my Enneagram number; a personality archetype somewhere between one and nine that could reveal hidden […]
The reality of moms and social media
Raquel Vaughn- For a really long time, I was lucky enough to have a mother who didn’t know anything about social media. Terms and phrases such as “sliding into DMs,” “follow for follow,” “saved the chat,” and “for you page” might as well have been an alien language to my mom because the only social […]
Cultural differences among Midwesterners
Sophia White- I have been living in Minnesota for about 9 months now, and have noticed a few things in terms of personal preference and pronunciation from Minnesotans that differ from my experiences living in Nebraska for 18 years.

Men’s basketball on top!
Teddy Kaste- The Gus Young court erupted into pandemonium last Saturday when the Gustavus Men’s Basketball team defeated the Hamline Pipers 72-71 to win the MIAC championship. The Gusties beat the Pipers – despite the answer to the Wordle coincidentally being Piper the day of the game (spooky). This MIAC championship win marks the 10th […]
Overtime Thriller!
Parker Burman- This past weekend, the Gustavus Women’s Hockey team hosted rival Bethel in the MIAC Semifinals, with a trip to the MIAC Championship game on the line. Although playing well, Gustavus found themselves facing an early deficit, one which would last most of the game. However, late game Gustie heroics forced an overtime win […]
