Rumours of a miniature-sized Target have long permeated the Madison community, and now, you cannot miss the stark red doors while walking down State Street. At the heart of off-campus student housing and food favorites, the small, but mighty supply depot has quickly become a competitor with Walgreens and Fresh Market for everything from groceries to toiletries.

Americans have slowly been coming to terms with the abuses of the criminal justice system. The horrific circumstances of George Floyd’s death last May sparked national protest, shifting the push to end qualified immunity — a rule that protects police officers from civil suits — from libertarian circles into the popular press and the halls of congress. The abuses of power documented in the Making of a Murder Netflix series shocked millions, and the work of the Innocence Project is widely known.

Imagine this scenario: you’re a college student with two exams this week, an essay to write, a part-time job and a pile of laundry that’s been staring at you from across the room, begging to be cleaned. Your advisor keeps pressuring you to apply for a summer internship, you haven’t been to the gym in a while and your significant other has been nagging you to find enough time to take them on a date.

As college students, we don’t want to miss out on the irreplaceable experience of being on campus. We want to attend class, not only to hear them lecture but to form actual human interactions with them. We wish to communicate with our classmates and we most definitely want to party! However, with the rise of COVID-19, once ordinary realities transformed into wishful thinking — a distant memory.

All around the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the leaves are highlighting a change in the seasons as students bundle up for the dropping temperatures and gradually adapt to their fall schedules. Especially with the return of in-person classes, students flooding throughout campus during passing periods, and game days featuring droves of fans in the streets eager to get to Camp Randall by “Jump Around,” we, as students, are finally given the opportunity to settle into a routine. However, what do we do when the face of our university announces she is changing her colors?

Maybe I’m writing this article because I’ve hit the point in the semester where the honeymoon phase of romanticizing how great my classes are and how easy they will be is over. Maybe I’m writing this essay because I'm at the age where one begins to question if their education will ever pay off. But most likely I’m writing this essay as a lazy college student who doesn’t look forward to working five days a week in a structured setting to only have two days off to fit our “life” into.

Despite low COVID-19 rates amongst students and faculty, there are still considerable flaws in the manner in which safety measures are being presented, enforced and followed. But with such a high vaccination rate amongst students and faculty, does the lack of regulation ultimately matter?

On Aug. 17, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) tweeted that, “What's happened in Afghanistan over the last few days is tragic and was totally avoidable,” and one can hardly disagree with Cotton on this front.

The word feminism can elicit reactions ranging from unadulterated hatred to unyielding pride, depending on who you ask. It can conjure images of suffragettes with hands thrown in the air and brazen expressions plastered on their faces. It can be a source of power and a derivation of selfhood. Yet — at the other end of the spectrum — the word can invoke imagery of brash women who like to complain about unfounded injustices. It can be a reactionary discourse on how, “women have the same rights as men now.”

On October 14, 2021, Mackenzie Moore wrote an article entitled, "Bucky Catches Chancellor Becky Blank with Willie the Wildcat, asks for amicable separation."

With the onset of midterms upon the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus, stress levels are undeniably soaring. For those similar to myself, previous midterm weeks have consisted of excessive caffeine intake, countless office hours visits and many sleepless nights.

Out of the roughly three million Wisconsinites who cast ballots this past November, only four voters were charged with election fraud. However, we still seem to find the results to be highly contested amongst our peers and our elected officials. After a year of relentless disinformation surrounding the 2020 presidential election, we need to be done with this conversation.

The hospitals shut down within days. No one shows up to work anymore, and no one could blame them in light of the awful, unnamed virus spreading everywhere. The crucial supply chains – for protective gear, for food, for gas, for everything — were also crippled. Hardly anyone is leaving their house, and those that do encounter apocalyptic scenes.

As the University of Wisconsin-Madison nears a 93% rate of fully vaccinated students, there have yet to be substantial changes to its policies surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. On the contrary, many have even called for greater restrictions. Though, one must ask: why?

Upon returning to campus, the most common back-to-school question I was asked was: “What did you do over the summer?” In short, I would always respond: “I worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), without being a CNA.” While this description confused my peers, this was the best way to summarize my summer job.

Blaming Greek Life — the entitled party animals — was an easy avenue at the start of the pandemic. In “Greek life being Greek life,” relentless socializing spurred the foreseeable lockdown of 22 sorority and fraternity houses at the start of the 2020-2021 academic year. Presently, however, Greek life is not at fault — the blatant disregard for in-chapter sorority members is.

In recent weeks, our news feeds have been inundated with reports about the situation in Afghanistan. Thousands of Afghans, many of whom helped western forces during their offensive against the Taliban, fled the country they called home after the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. Military bases in the U.S. — such as Fort McCoy here in Wisconsin — have taken in thousands of refugees. In a heartwarming display of care, Wisconsinites have pitched in with fabric supplies for the refugees, to let them weave their clothes and feel comfortable adjusting to their new lives.

What would a silent world sound like? Perhaps a world void of any form of communication, shackled by empty words, numb from stillness, dismantled from literature. Or perchance a world whose ears are simply deaf to the voices of those in need.

Put simply, the COVID-19 vaccine is not everything we hoped it might be. Let me be clear: The COVID vaccine is safe and effective, and if you haven’t gotten it, you should. With that said, it is becoming glaringly apparent that the vaccinated can still contract COVID-19 and spread it to others. Vaccinated students may only become aware they have contracted COVID-19 after receiving a positive test, making it critically important that vaccinated students continue to test regularly this fall.

On Aug. 6, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved Nasdaq’s diversity proposal which intends to increase the number of women and minorities serving on corporate boards. Improving diversity on corporate boards is a laudable goal. But Nasdaq’s proposal will merely create a veneer of diversity without reducing discriminatory hiring practices.
