Katelyn Benschoter- If you are anything like me, an aspect of your ideal life is to have all the time in the world to sit and read all of the books on your TBR (to be read) list. Unfortunately, life gets pretty busy. Especially during this time of the school year when classes are ramping up. This is when I always lose my motivation to … Continue reading Books to Get Out of a Reading Slump

Sophia White and Grace LaTourelle- There is a need for students on the Gustavus campus to have better accessibility to food and cleaning/toiletry supplies. The cost of living for college students can quickly stack up, especially if students aren’t supported financially by another party. Many students work two to three jobs, both on-campus and off-campus. So, the Chaplain’s Office paired up with United Christian Ministries … Continue reading The Gustie Pantry: Letter to the Editor
Katelyn Benschoter- It’s official: going to the movies is back. And speaking from personal experience, it feels good to be back. Ever since the summer of “Barbenheimer”, the act of going out to the theaters and watching movies in the theater has made a triumphant return. With blockbuster after blockbuster, there is once again a draw to get off the couch and see a movie … Continue reading Blink Twice: Film Review
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.

A room with a sink and more floor space. … Continue reading A Love Letter to Plex

Colleen Coleman- Something is refreshing about my Sophomore year so far. I was walking to the Campus Center with classmates I had just met while leaving our Interpersonal Communications class, which had a large number of First-year students, trying to help some find their classes in Old Main and Olin. I mentioned that there was something exhilarating about the second day of classes; when you … Continue reading Perspective from Day Two of Year Two
