When my parents attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the early 2000s, it was a golden age for Badgers. Back-to-back Rose Bowl wins, a Final Four run and a housing market that hadn’t yet declared war on students.
At the beginning of every semester, an email from the University of Wisconsin-Madison arrives in students’ inboxes reminding them that tuition payments are due. For many students, it is simply another administrative notice buried among Canvas announcements and club newsletters. For others, it marks the beginning of careful calculations of rent, textbooks, groceries and financial aid.
College can be, without a doubt, the most vibrant, exciting time of one's life. But it can also be an experience often overshadowed by stress and anxiety. For many students, college is their first experience living somewhere away from home, surrounded by new people in a completely unique dynamic. To make sure that potential stress doesn’t wash away the fun of college life, it’s key for students to prioritize their own mental and physical health.
Passivity is America’s deadliest weapon.
Do you ever notice how different your mood feels when you spend the day in sweatpants compared to when you take the time to dress up? Think about the last time you had an important presentation, interview or event. Did you reach for sweatpants, or did you choose something that made you feel confident and prepared? The way we dress may seem like a small decision, but it can significantly influence how we think, feel and perform throughout the day.
If you listen closely to members of the University of Wisconsin-Madison student body on a Monday morning as they wake up to their alarms, you will hear a collective groan. Another early start to a long week ahead. With an even closer look, you can catch a glimpse of some of the usual suspects:
The Islamic Republic of Iran was created shortly after the revolution in 1979 overthrew the country’s monarchy. Not only did this cause a seismic political shift, but it led to the creation of a theocracy. The fusion of religion with government reshaped every aspect of Iranian life. Under Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, women’s rights were stripped and protests were met with force. The regime entrenched what many have called gender apartheid into law by classifying women as second-hand citizens and limiting their rights in divorce, inheritance, child custody and education.
Since kindergarten I have been asked one question every year: “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Over the years my responses have changed from mermaid, architect, astronaut and now, genetic counselor (even that might change).
If you walk into almost any conversation on campus, it won’t take long before you overhear talks about people’s schedules.
After Team USA women’s hockey captured gold at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics, what should have been a moment of celebration was quickly overshadowed by a viral phone call from President Donald Trump to the men’s team.
A trend of people claiming to be “in a very Chinese time of my life” broke out across social media toward the end of 2025, highlighting significant characteristics of Chinese culture, like wearing Chinese inspired clothes, cooking Chinese food and noting the Year of the Horse for new beginnings on Jan. 1 far before the actual celebration of the Lunar New Year on Feb. 17.
The Super Bowl has always been an explosion of branding, celebrity and patriotism compressed into a single night of unity and celebration. What unfolded around this year’s halftime show, however, revealed something less polished: a divided country arguing about political undertones.
On any given day, on any given road, on any given Madison city bus, headphones cover the ears of nearly every public-transit patron. Walking down the street, the picture doesn’t change much — heads-down, thumbs up, poking and prodding an LED-screen to select the new song of the moment while walking down East Johnson Street.
Last week, University Health Services sent an email notifying University of Wisconsin-Madison students about a confirmed case of measles on campus, with 4,000 individuals directly notified of their exposure.

The phrase “forgive but never forget” is often framed as wisdom — a way to appear healed while staying vigilant. But when you look closer, the phrase carries a contradiction. Holding on to hurt is not forgiveness. It is resentment with better branding.
The United States has always had a strong response to periods of economic fluctuation: the call for increased deportations. This is political theater and the government’s way of redirecting public anxiety and putting the strain on vulnerable communities, minorities and marginalized people. During economic downturns, labor instability and financial stress lead to heightened immigration enforcement.
