So, in the morning, when I’d wake up, I’d go in the bathroom and the bathtub in my mom’s bathroom was just black.” Waking up to smoke and ash was just another day for University of Findlay’s Athletic trainer, Fiona Hanks […]

Leah Alsept alseptl@findlay.edu Political bubbles will trap you, but unlike a soap bubble, which easily pops when touched, the material is made out of thick, suffocating plastic. Staying within the boundaries of one such political bubble will ultimately cause harm to an individual and the world they live in. It may not be harm […]
Dylan Frazier frazierd@findlay.edu @dylanfrazier44 In college, one of the hardest things for most students is finding a way to make money. With all the homework and extracurriculars students have to do, finding time to make money is oftentimes at the bottom of the list. One way to make some extra change that doesn’t require […]

Emma Smith Smithe11@findlay.edu @Emma2000Smith Since Dec. 18 of last year, Donald J. Trump has been in the biggest legal battle to date, the impeachment trial to determine if they will continue being the President of the United States. The impeachment process began after a whistleblower complaint was filed in August 2019 accusing Trump of […]
By: Collin Frazier frazierc@findlay.edu @Collin_53 It’s that time of the year; The Big Game. The game that your favorite team will most likely not be in but you will still tune in, eat delicious food, watch very hit-or-miss commercials, and watch Jennifer Lopez and Shakira perform during halftime. This year, the 14-4 Kansas City […]
By: Madi DeVries devriesm@findlay.edu It is now almost impossible to turn on the TV or go on social media without seeing the news that Kobe Bryant, 41, and his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, or Gigi as he called her, died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California on Sunday, Jan. 26. This news has shocked […]
Abigail Frye frya@findlay.edu @Abigail_EF It’s hard to imagine just how big the world is when living in Findlay, Ohio.

By:Collin Frazier frazierc@findlay.edu @Collin_53 We truly are in the golden era of video games. With better technology and more money invested in stories, artwork, voice acting, gameplay, and musical scores, video gaming is now receiving the recognition it deserves as art. However, even with so much invested, one dilemma with gaming is when to […]
Dylan Frazier frazierd@findlay.edu @dylanfrazier44 In the sequel that no one asked for, Bad Boys for Life, starring once again Will Smith and Martin Lawrence proves that over the top action and quick quips help save any flaws with the story. Even though I haven’t seen either of the first two, I still found myself enjoying […]
Dylan Frazier frazierd@findlay.edu @dylanfrazier44 In the first of what SGA hopes is two artist announcements, today SGA is proudly announcing that hip hop and R&B artist, T-Pain, will be coming to UF to co-headlining the Findlay Music Festival. Olunife Akinmolayan, the president of SGA, says that T-Pain was an easy choice for them since […]
Abigail Frye fryea@findlay.edu @Abigail_EF Students have taken notice of an unusual phenomenon at the University of Findlay this year, faculty and staff leaving in the middle of the school year.

Dylan Frazier frazierd@findlay.edu @dylanfrazier44 Awards season in film is well underway with this past Tuesday announcing all of the nominees for the 92nd edition of the Oscars.

Emma Smith smithe11@findlay.edu @Emma2000Smith It may only be the second week of the semester, but spring break is right around the corner.

Dylan Frazier frazierd@findlay.edu @dylanfrazier44 I am not one for war movies, especially recent ones. The most recent one I saw in the theaters was Midway, which was one of the worst movies I saw last year, so while I had high hopes for 1917, I was a little nervous about seeing this. I […]

By: Collin Frazier frazierc@findlay.edu @Collin_53 For some people going to college, it’s about going somewhere where you’ll be surrounded by thousands of people of different backgrounds in a place unknown. For me, that was last year. I was a first-year going to THE (Yes, I am doing it that way) Ohio State University hoping […]
Dylan Frazier frazierd@findlay.edu @dylanfrazier44 I’m usually not one for movies involving racecars unless we’re talking Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. But with awesome co-lead performances from Matt Damon and Christian Bale, James Mangold’s Ford v. Ferrari, albeit a tad long, is a fantastic movie. We follow Carroll Shelby (Damon), the owner of Shelby American, and Ken […]
