Throughout his presidency, former President Donald Trump created stark division, ultimately causing corruption to ripple throughout the American government.

Recently, I began watching the Netflix show “Narcos,” which follows the criminal exploits of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar. It is based on true events and so far, I have been surprised at how much turmoil one person could seemingly cause within a country. Nowadays, the drug lord narrative is used heavily and is oftentimes successful in gaining attention, mainly because producers will overdramatize the historical event in order to make it more entertaining.

To feed or not to feed? That is the question many Hoosiers may find themselves debating while encountering the friendly furballs around campus.

If you’ve seen “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” you know that the little, black bunny titled the “killer bunny” is all bite, with little bark as a warning. Its death count may be the same as historical action movie figure James Bond. This is a fictional danger, but to people like one of my best friends, it could highlight truths. One of her biggest fears is that squirrels will jump down from trees attacking humans at the jugular. It hasn’t happened yet, but how dangerous could these little critters be?

In January, journalist A.J. Jacobs attempted to go a day without using plastic and found that within the first few seconds of waking up, he failed. His feet had landed on a carpet made of plastic nylon fibers as he got out of bed. His journey reflected that Americans rely on plastic like it's an addiction – we can’t even go a day without it, let alone a couple minutes.

Yes, we are back to school, and students — including myself — can no longer sleep in until noon and scroll through TikTok for hours on end throughout the day. Personally, it feels good to be put back on a schedule. However, I know that it will take effort to stay caught up with classes, work and other things without experiencing end-of-year burnout.

I was working on my homework at the library and noticed that the person next to me seemed stressed. I didn’t think much of it mainly because that’s a usual occurrence for a college student. However, after a quick glance at their screen, I saw there was an ad playing. Then another played – like on a YouTube video when they shove two ads before the video begins for 20 seconds without letting you skip. Eventually, the student passed the ads and could watch the main video – possibly for an assignment – and then the student seemed calmer once the video began to play.
