Senior Class Legacy wraps up
Since 1910, Gustavus seniors have given their alma mater some sort of gift, and in recent years this has meant some sort of financial donation. The Senior Class Legacy is based around the idea that graduating seniors should give back to Gustavus so that students can continue to have great experiences. “It gives seniors the chance to join a long lineage of Gusties that recognize … Continue reading Senior Class Legacy wraps up
Dropping the other f-bomb
Last Saturday night, I left Patrick’s to join the throng in the bank parking lot and wait for the GusBus to arrive. I met up with my boyfriend, who was standing in line at the open door of the bus.

When I first started at The Weekly as a bored sophomore, I had just … Continue reading Goodbye Gustavus

Mindless moments
Have you ever had fun doing something that you may publicly ridicule? Perhaps in high school you surreptitiously liked math or doing Sudoku. I have in the past and presently find myself in such a position. Although I have gotten over many of my insecurities of yore, some part of me is still shocked when I find myself enjoying doing mathematical logic or something similar. … Continue reading Mindless moments
Boo to bootstraps
As often as sexism racism sexual oppression and gender oppression are rightfully decried in the pages of the commentary section, I feel as if a certain kind of oppression and consciousness is ignored fairly often. Often enough to warrant an inclusion that is particularly relevant as this crop of seniors prepares to graduate. This omission is class oppression and class consciousness. Like it or not, … Continue reading Boo to bootstraps
