By: Olivia Wile Twitter: o_wile Email: wileo@findlay.edu Despite the conclusion of another fall semester at the University of Findlay, winter break is really no time to take a vacation from competitive swimming.

By: Olivia Wile Twitter: o_wile Email: wileo@findlay.edu College is arguably the best time to meet new people. During freshman year and beyond, students step into a whole new world surrounded by individuals with different backgrounds, morals, and thought processes.

By: Juliyana Straley Twitter: @jstraley7 Email: straleyj@findlay.edu The past few months, social media has been littered with Feminist movements and protests.

By: Olivia Wile Twitter: o_wile Email: wileo@findlay.edu As I have been competitively swimming for the last nine years, it is without surprise that I have experienced a lot of pain; both good and bad.

By: Alexis Mitchell Email – mitchella2@findlay.edu Twitter – @alexismitch14 I don’t think when Tarana Burke started the “#MeToo” trend that she realized just how far it would spread. “Me Too” was intended to help women who have been sexually assaulted not feel alone, but feel more empowered by coming together on social media. Although many […]
