I love bugs. I find them so cool and interesting, and they serve a lot of great purposes not only for their ecosystems, but for our lives as well.
There’s nothing like sitting in your 8 a.m. class, trying to focus on the lecture, taking notes or completing an assignment while being surrounded by the beautiful chorus of wet coughs, sniffles and sneezes. ‘Tis the season!
Feminism isn’t just a hashtag or slogan — it’s about taking real action to make meaningful change. As a society, we talk about equal opportunity, but reality often falls short. As long as gender disparities persist, we must bridge the gap between empowerment and empty words by focusing on the tangible impacts of feminism that can transform lives.
As Bloomington heads into peak season for respiratory viruses, first year students at IU are facing the perennial threat of catching the “freshman flu.”
Trohn Enright-Randolph and much of his surveyor’s office staff feel their job can turn them into therapists at times. They won’t always be able to help people with their needs, but they can give them recommendations and at the very least, a handshake.
This summer, I dragged my mom to The Clairidge—a single screen movie theater in Montclair, New Jersey—for a matinee of Alexander Payne’s “Election.” The theater was featuring a series, titled “Clash of the Claridge Classics: 1939 vs 1999,” in which the audience could watch two films from the respective years and vote for their favorite.

I remember the first time I listened to “Les Misérables.” I was in fifth grade and had been given the sheet music to “Castle on a Cloud” by my vocal coach. The song is sweet and one of great yearning, as it details a young Cosette’s longing to escape her servant-esque life. When I started singing, it was clear I truly had no idea how to act out the song. My vocal coach gave me the assignment to watch the musical’s 25th Anniversary Concert and thus my obsession began.
Every morning, I wake up an hour earlier than anyone else in my house, not for the sake of preparation, but to take my medication for Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. The ritual is meticulous: I swallow the pill on an empty stomach and wait patiently for an hour before consuming anything. This daily routine is a small, yet constant reminder of the invisible struggle that comes with Hashimoto’s condition.
The Monroe County Council voted in August to advertise a new local income tax (LIT) rate increase to fund the construction of a new jail.
Many women might not realize that their mental health is impacting their menstrual well-being, and vice versa, until it starts affecting them personally. For years, I struggled to understand why my emotions were a roller coaster each month. It wasn't until I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome at 18 years old that I learned how deeply intertwined my mental health was with my menstrual health. PCOS is a common condition that affects hormones. It causes irregular menstrual periods, excess hair growth, acne and infertility.
When I moved back into my house in Bloomington this August, I took note of the new neighbors joining my block as they funneled into their new houses with cars packed to the brim and concerned parents in tow. Moving into a new place almost inevitably generates plenty of trash, including furniture, appliances and all the other pieces of plastic we need to buy to live comfortably.

BREAKING NEWS! TAMPONS CONTAIN LEAD!
At 6:10 p.m. July 13, former President Donald Trump was shot at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and that is a particular series of words I never thought I’d type and publish. The assassination attempt was unsuccessful, yes — the candidate made it out with only a minor wound on his right ear, a fate not shared with attendee Corey Comperatore, who died — but it’s impossible to overstate exactly how close we came to watching Trump drop dead. The video says it all: had Trump not moved his head slightly to the right only a second before the first POP, he almost certainly would not have lived.
Growing up, there’s a stereotypical scene that I’ve come across in multiple television shows and books: A grandmother sitting on a rocking chair, whiling away her time knitting yet another sweater for her grandchildren to give this Christmas. Naturally, following media culture and stereotypes, it didn’t take me too long to link needlework activities like knitting, crocheting and stitching with the elderly.
Joe Biden is the oldest president in U.S. history. He is 81 years old and disturbingly exceeds the median age for global leaders, most of whom are in their 50s and 60s.
