OP/ED: The Concealed Fear of Riding in Cabs as a Woman
Nicole Acosta, Managing Editor
April 26, 2019
New York, the city that should also be known as the one with unreliable public transportation. This leads me, and many other city-goers without a driver's license, to spend mass amounts of money on cabs to get to our destinations safely and on time. Digital ride-sharing corporations like Uber and Lyf...
OP/ED: The Dreadful Disease Of Narcissistic Men
Valerie Lopez, Associate Editor
April 25, 2019
We've all may have experience or encountered men that think they are a reincarnation of Jesus Christ himself. Or Don Juan. Maybe Fabio. Perhaps they are impersonating their President.

Steven Keehner, Associate Editor
April 4, 2019
From #MeToo to a slur in a song, American culture is seeing the results of an effort to change the way we view and speak about various groups throughout our country.

OP/ED: The Latina Wage Gap is Redundant
Nicole Acosta, Managing Editor
November 15, 2018
Latina. One of the common words I use to describe my entire being. But, it also isn’t just a word. It’s a sense of recognition for my culture, and how I present myself as a woman in society. That word shouldn’t be a way to define how valid we are as people, much less how much we get paid i...
