The Romance of Terror

April 5, 2018April 19, 2018 Mike Banarhall0

Horror in films can be traced back to the mid 1890s by George Mellies who made the first horror film in 1898. This film consisted of cauldrons, animated skeletons, ghosts, transforming bats and even an incarnation of the Devil. The genre of Horror as we know it today had its start in the 1930s in such monster films such as Frankenstein, The Mummy and

APRIL FOOL’S: The Haunting of Lady Madam Buttered Croissant

March 31, 2018April 1, 2018 Josh Warshauer0

While we are all told when we are young that ghosts and the supernatural do not exist, there have always been skeptics that have been believers in ghosts and the supernatural. Most people often believe that the haunted buildings on campus would be the older buildings such as the lower suites due to age and their more decrepit state. However, there are reports of

Revenge of the Automatic Lights: Monadnock Edition

March 20, 2018March 19, 2018 Megan Palmer0

The building of Monadnock upped the style and quality of living at SNHU in many ways. The bathrooms have two sinks, the toilet and shower are in two different rooms and the windows let in sunlight that would brighten anyone’s day. Now, I will be clear and be quite upfront: I don’t actually live in Monadnock. I have never lived in a building on

Celebrate Ethnicity, Not “Whiteness”

March 13, 2018March 13, 2018 Ruth Way0

Knowledge of my own ethnicity is based off my parent’s “I think” statements. It was never a raging topic as I grew up, even having been part of a mixed family. I grew up with a blank slate toward my heretical geography, and it was never something that bothered me until recently. I acknowledge my lack of ethnic knowledge and I move forward in

Staplers On Campus

March 8, 2018March 8, 2018 Laana DePina0

There is a real problem on SNHU's campus: a staple problem. It has come to my attention that there is a startling lack of staples in printing labs across campus, and it is causing strife within the paper-writing community. We are now entering midterm season, and with it, students are required to write papers for the majority of their classes. The places to print

Life is SNHUtiful

February 23, 2018February 22, 2018 Travis Burke0

It’s getting to be that time of year when the lulls of winter and the burdens of endless class work depress much of the student body. Sometimes, all a stressed student feels like doing is crawling back into bed and shutting the blinds. Sometimes, it’s hard to see the beauty around. At times like this, people should look to nature to aid them with

Cut the Bootcut, Out of Style

February 21, 2018February 21, 2018 Josh Warshauer0

Bootcut jeans have been the bane of every fashionista’s existence for many years due to their unattractiveness and limited wearing options. Their original purpose, however, was to be worn over cowboy boots, so a cowboy could comfortably fit their pants over their boots. Later, in the 1960’s and 70’s the bootcut jean had transformed into Bell Bottoms in order to fit more cohesively with

Why I Hate Valentine’s Day

February 14, 2018February 18, 2018 Catherine Lachance0

Although a day of mouth-watering chocolates, romance, and giant teddy bears may be great for those who are in relationships, Valentine’s Day is a cut through the throat for us single people. Being single on February 14 is a disappointing reminder that we do not have a “special someone” in our lives. For 19 years, I have been watching friends and family gush over

PALentine’s Day (Cause We’re Friends)

February 14, 2018February 18, 2018 Laana DePina0

I don’t get why people hate Valentine’s Day. There is something to be said about people giving each other cheesy cards and showing their love in the most public way possible. I love it. The pink and red color palette brings me joy, especially when it’s directed at me. For years, even when I was single, I celebrated Valentine’s Day. My friends and I

A(uto)pocalypse: Hating Automation

February 9, 2018February 8, 2018 Ginny Fagan0

Automation has made many aspects of my life much easier. Automatic doors are wonderful, automatic water bottle stations are convenient and automatic transmissions are also high up on my list of the good automatic technologies in life. But one place automation does not make my life easier? Bathrooms. Automatic flushing toilets are great when they work. The problem, however, is that they hardly ever
