Katelyn Benschoter- With summer coming to a close, it is time to reflect and reminisce. How will this summer be remembered? When looking back on summers of the past, a tool that is excellent at taking us back is the music of previous summers. For example, when we hear songs like “Blinding Lights” by The Weekend and “Running Up That Hill” by Kate Bush, we … Continue reading What was the Song of the Summer?
Raquel Vaughn- Dear Complex, It’s not me, it’s you. These past couple of years have been great, but I just outgrew you. You’re a dorm with mostly Sophomore and Junior residents, and I’m a Senior. This relationship couldn’t go further. I needed something more at my pace. A place with air conditioning and a non-communal bathroom.

Whether you are a new Gustie on campus or an eager student returning to school, there still remains one common goal: enjoying quality time with friends on campus.
