Houston McLaury- Welcome back Gusties from your respective breaks! I hope that no matter where you traveled to, no matter the distance and who you had to spend time with, you had a fantastic time nonetheless. As we come back to our dorms, we inch closer and closer to the end of the fall semester…

Raquel Vaughn- There’s a list unlike any other. A list of things that are just for the girls. Any girl knows of a thing or two that, in the grand scheme of things, only girls are allowed to say, do, and have. Of course, this is completely satirical…or is it? Instead of leaving this list…

Houston McLaury- Well Gusties, Thanksgiving break is right around the corner. In about a week’s time, many of us will either be driving back home or flying to different states to be with our family for the holiday.

Flipline Studios released their first game called “Papa’s Pizzeria” in 2007 and from there they released game after game. After “Papa’s Pizzeria”, we have classics like “Papa’s Freezeria”,…

Houston McLaury- It’s that time of the year again, Gusties! MyGustavus is open on most computers, and descriptions of various classes are up for spring semester. And, while it’s important to take classes that will meet your major requirements as well as general education requirements, I always found it useful to have one class a…

Raquel Vaughn- Dystopian is making a comeback! With the new Hunger Games movie, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, hitting theaters on Nov. 17th, the dystopian genre is resurging. We’re taking it back to middle school where we spent a religious amount of time defining our personalities based on which district we were from, what…

Sophia White- Never let go of your ability to imagine and create worlds. That is something I was told by many adults as a child. But, I don’t think I ever took that advice seriously. I remember being able to daydream up worlds and writing new stories every day in a little mustache journal. I…
