Jack Davis: I don’t think spring break always needs to be some extravagant trip. Sure, you should enjoy yourself, but sometimes it’s nice to take a break. It’s okay to go home for spring break, sleep in and see old friends.

Jack Davis: People packing up 10-15 minutes before class ends is silly. The professor gives us hours of their time each week, so the least we can do is sit through the final 15 minutes of class, humoring them without all the rustling of our backpacks.

Erin Stafford: While it’s true that we should celebrate our loved ones all the time, Valentine’s Day is also the perfect opportunity to make some grand gesture or plan an incredibly romantic date for your significant other. I’m talking champagne, rose petals on the bed and a candlelit dinner for two. It feels good to be spoiled! And what better time than the day of love and romance?

Maria Amanda Irias: Why is it socially acceptable to grunt at the gym? Some people — mostly men — think it’s ok to grunt while they lift weights, but it's not. It's so unnecessary to make noises while you exercise. I don’t care how much of a “gym bro” you think you are, grunting should be unacceptable. Plus, if you have the need to grunt because the weights you’re lifting are that heavy, then maybe you should do a couple pounds less. You’re just straining your muscles. The need to grunt is a sign you’re lifting too much, so fix it and don’t make us listen to your struggles.

Leila Faraday: I find no electronics policies in lectures to be extremely frustrating. Everyone has their own system of taking and organizing notes, and we, as adults and paying students, should be able to exercise personal discretion when it comes to these systems. If a student wants to scroll through Instagram throughout lecture, that is their free will, and they are the ones who will deal with the natural consequences.

Salomé Cloteaux, editor-in-chief: Every time I complain about IU parking, I am met with the same responses: “There isn’t enough space to have parking for everyone on campus. Why don’t you just walk or bike or take the bus or ride a scooter? Don’t you want Bloomington to become more walkable and less reliant on cars?” But when it’s 11 p.m., I’m finally leaving work, the buses aren’t running, my bike got stolen twice in one month, there has been another e-scooter accident, I don’t make enough money to get an Uber every day, my car got towed because although I paid almost $200 for an ST parking pass, I was late to move my car from the stadium the night before the third basketball home game this week, and I have to pray my roommate is still awake to pick me up so I have a safe way home, I think I have a right to complain about IU parking.

Jack Davis: I don’t want to see everyone’s Spotify Wrapped. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not anti-Spotify Wrapped; I think it is a neat idea, and I personally enjoy seeing mine. But if I want to see yours, I’ll ask you to show me. When it comes out, it feels like every single story on Instagram is people's Spotify Wrapped.

Jack Davis: The best traditional Thanksgiving food is the dinner roll. There is nothing better than warm and fluffy bread coming out of the oven on Thanksgiving Day. I also like dipping it in the mashed potatoes.

Isabella Vesperini: It is completely acceptable to listen to Christmas music in November. The holiday season isn’t nearly long enough. Halloween hits, and then November and December FLY BY. And with how busy I am with school, the fact that it’s the holiday season never settles in. I feel like I can’t fully enjoy it because I’m packed with so many other things. Listening to Christmas music in November gives the holiday season more justice and helps me enjoy the time of year more.

Danny William: The eternal war between “Halloween” and “Friday the 13th" should be over. “Halloween” wins forever and ever. “Halloween” is a creatively made, beautifully shot film with one of the creepiest villains ever. “Friday the 13th" is lame and repetitive. Jason Vorhees should go drown in Crystal Lake again.

Special Guest Star, Visuals Editor Mira Athmarao: People who use the term “Reputation” era unironically are wrong. “Reputation” is a love album that is often misinterpreted as a revenge album. There are three songs that are specifically about revenge, but “I Did Something Bad”, “Look What You Made Me Do” and “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things” are 1/5 of an album and calling it a revenge era album disgraces the true meaning of “Reputation”. “Delicate” was also a single that debuted alongside “Look What You Made Me Do”, and it is the true point of Reputation. Her reputation had never been worse, and the fans stuck with her and Joe (at the time) stuck with her. So, by calling it a Reputation era, you blatantly mislabel what is probably her second most romantic album.

Natalie Fitzgibbons: Fall festivities like pumpkin patches and apple orchards can be better than summer activities of going to the beach or water park. There’s something more peaceful and nostalgic about it. I think it’s because you can always go to a warmer climate for beach and water parks, but it has to be fall for pumpkin patches and apple orchards.

Isabella Vesperini: We should invest more in fun socks. Wearing socks with cool designs is cool and trendy. I have a whole collection of socks: one pair has penguins fishing, another pair has pastel-colored dinosaurs. I recently got a pair for Halloween with skeleton dinosaurs trick-or-treating. Wearing socks with creative designs makes me happy and feel better overall. I also just love looking at all the socks and planning when I'll wear each pair.

Jack Davis: Going to the movie theater is so much better than watching a movie on a streaming service. There is something about the environment of watching a movie with people that cannot be replicated while streaming it. For example, when you watch a horror movie, you get scared together or when you watch a Marvel movie, you get excited together. It is just a fun experience. If given the chance to watch at home or in a theater, I will choose theater every time.

Isabella Vesperini: Football infuriates me. I really don’t get the point of the sport; it’s essentially a bunch of men who attack each other and get a break every five seconds doing so. It's boring, hard to follow and inconsistent. I just don’t understand why the sport exists. There is no need for all the pomp and circumstance.
