Write-Off: Aliens – truth or real? or The Highlander Files – the truth is out there
Kyle Omori -
Sci-fi writer Arthur Clarke once said, “Two possibilities exist: Either we are alone in the Universe or we are not.”
We are not. There’s so much evidence out there pointing to the fact that we are not the only sentient life forms that to think otherwise is ridiculous.
First off, let’s look at architecture. Stonehenge, the Great Wall and the pyramids...
Do aliens exist? Quite the philosophical question. Such a question merits deep reflection and contemplation and …
No. The answer is no. Aliens do not exist. That’s it. No more explanation. If you want more, too bad for you. I’m done. End of article.
OK, I guess I can’t be done that soon. Then allow me to explain.
Aliens, or the sensations...
Donald Trump is a garbage person.
I don’t mean he is one of the hardworking Americans that collect refuse from various households; I mean that he is a person, only made of garbage. He mocks the disabled, accepts endorsements from members of the Ku Klux Klan and should have been launched into the sun long ago.
And you should totally...
The fact that Donald Trump has managed to survive this long in the presidential campaign simply bewilders me. A man who makes enemies of every last group in America (except the subsection of the white population that supports him) should not have made it out the gate, much less outlast some of the vastly better choices for president. But,...
I have loved and supported Hillary Clinton since 2008. I rallied behind her because she was my first role model: a strong, intelligent, capable woman breaking the glass ceiling in a world dominated by men. I needed that. I needed to see someone like her leading in a predominately male field.
But now I’m sick and tired — tired of...

Writeoff: Why, as a female Democrat, Hillary Clinton does not have my vote
Julia Schemmer -
The 2016 election season is in full swing, bringing together all types of political contenders in hopes of gaining the most coveted position in the world: the president. One of the people running for the position is former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, with endorsements from the New York Times, Planned Parenthood and The Boston Globe padding her already-overwhelming...
Schadenfreude — noun: a feeling of enjoyment that comes from seeing or hearing about the troubles of other people.
While not exactly the kindest of character traits, this is the basis for the humor of Bad Luck Brian (BLB). Ranging from social faux pas to ridiculous levels of tragedy, there is a certain kind of perverse joy we all feel...
For years, memes have been swarming all over social media either to make people laugh, to make a smart remark or just as a reaction to a post online. A meme I’ve come across plenty of times is an image of Los Angeles Lakers basketball player Nick Young in which he wears a confused expression and has question marks...
With the amount of supplementary materials professors release online as well as the textbook, self-teaching may seem like a better option than showing up to an early 8 a.m. class. The information introduced in the lecture hall is often consolidated during discussion sections and many students feel they can reap the same benefits without being present during each lecture....
The unengaged student comes in many varieties: napping in the back of the lecture hall, watching “Breaking Bad” under the guise of taking notes on their laptop, searching for tattoo design inspiration on Pinterest or playing “Candy Crush” on their phone.
Unfortunately, we’ve all had someone like this as a classmate and I’ve been guilty of being unengaged and...
