Last Monday, people across a thin line of North America witnessed a spectacular event: a total solar eclipse. The last total eclipse in the U.S. was in 2017. The eclipse on Monday was slated to be much more of a spectacle than the prior, and rightfully so; the moon was almost 8,000 miles closer to Earth than the 2017 event, and the path of totality was much wider. Cities like Bloomington saw tens of thousands of viewers, and although we didn’t see as many tourists as expected, Monroe County was still a hotspot for the eclipse due to its geolocation; smack-dab in the middle of the path of totality.

Art is the greatest form of human expression. This form of expression has been essential in vocalizing pain as a common human experience. Confessional poetry perfectly embodies this. It focuses on individual experience generally dealing with extremely personal topics like mental illness and sexuality. It highlights the rawness of pain.

For the past few weeks, I’ve started to feel burned out. It’s the time of year when I know I’ve almost reached the end of the academic year, but it still feels so far away. It’s harder than ever to find the motivation to keep up with schoolwork and other obligations, especially following spring break and with better weather on the horizon. I’d rather be hanging out outside with friends without a care in the world. But that’s not always possible, so to help with my lack of motivation, I started using some tricks to push through these last weeks of the semester and keep my energy up.

Jack Davis: Not only do I dislike Pepsi, but restaurants should not be allowed to sell Pepsi products. In my opinion, it’s by far the inferior soda option, and the only Pepsi product that should be sold is Starry — because who doesn’t love lemon-lime soda? However, they got the other sodas all wrong.

Education has always had an organizational structure stringent enough to never substantially be changed by the students it was subjected to. Schools are not just a hub for education but also a place for young citizens to learn societal order. Here I identify two main aspects of schooling: learning represented by an individual receiving an education and evaluation which systematically discourages students instead of its intended incentive structure.

Silence is a scary thing to sit with. It makes many of us so uncomfortable, we feel the need to fill it up — sometimes with a joke or a “how’s your day been?” Although those are harmless ways to quiet silence, there are more dangerous ways.

So often, we’re told to have patience and that everything will work itself out in due time. Though we’re constantly reminded to be patient, it doesn’t always come easily. We’re often in a hurry or ready to move on to the next thing before we’ve even finished the first. It’s time to practice the patience that is preached. The truth is patience is a skill, and like all skills, it needs to be practiced repeatedly in order to become a master at it.
