Mascot or Monster?

To give him some credit, just about all mascots give me the creeps, but there is something about Petey that goes the extra mile into terror town. Be it his emotionless doe-eyes, or his snarky smile, something about him just doesn’t seem right. We’ve all seen him enthusiastically motivating crowds at sporting events, meandering around campus giving high fives, and leaving a trail of

The Dreaded 8 A.M.

They have all gotten up for their registration times and stumbled to their computers or tablets and logged on to their accounts. However, they registered on different days depending on their amount of completed credits. With the different registration days comes different available classes.

Gabe Carrio’s Jam Sesh: “Flume”

“Flume” is the debut, self-titled studio album by Australian artist Flume, obviously, released in 2011.

“Spectre”: Craig’s Bond’s Swan Song

Let me preface this by saying I’ve never seen a Bond film. I paradoxically went into “Spectre” not knowing what to expect, and left with exactly what I expected. Looking at “Spectre” from a technical standpoint, I can confidently say that this film is incredible, with amazing cinematography, a beautiful score, and excellently casted characters.

The Peanuts: Twenty-First Century Reboot

Whenever something is “reimagined” or “rebooted”, fans of the original material usually cry out in agony. In this day and age, whenever something timeless is brought back into the limelight, it will more often than not be updated to be more marketable to the current youth demographic.
