    Will Sorg- It is Jan. 30th, 2024, as I am writing this. About 4 hours ago, I left the movie theater. I realized while I was sitting in my car, shaking, that I had to write a review on The Zone of Interest. I was not planning on writing something until school started up properly…

    Sophia White- By the time this article reaches the rest of campus, my 19th birthday will be in two days. The last year in my teens. Yet 19 just feels like a number that means nothing in terms of age. It feels awkward to be placed between 18 and 20. At 18 you become an…
