Gone are the days of cinematic romance, where you’d watch Al Pacino woo Diane Keaton with a hesitant smile and careful words or where you’d find Casablanca-style kisses and that black-and-white poetic approach. Recently, I read an article in Dazed & Confused Magazine that said romance is dead— and dating apps are the main suspects in the killing. Dazed News Editor, Serena Smith wrote, “Dating apps have sapped much of the romance out of dating. Within such a ruthlessly eff

Launched as one of the fruits of American Conservatism in 1905, the National Audubon Society has since been pioneering the preservation of native bird species. Here on campus, the recently-integrated Audubon chapter at Stetson fosters a sense of exploration and discovery for its members. It is led by student President Katie Hill under the supervision of Megan Martin, President of West Volusia’s Chapter.

I sat down with Raey Block ’25, Stetson Outdoor Adventure Recreation (SOAR) council member, to learn about the adventure advocate and her passionate perspectives on exploration.

As we ring in the 2024-2025 academic year, Stetson’s campus is buzzing with new changes— a less obvious one being the new 3:2+1 curriculum. A few adjustments will be made to the way professors approach not only their class offerings but also their approach to experiential learning. So what exactly is this new 3:2+1 program?

I (virtually) sat down with Ricky Ray, the newly hired Director of Athletics to get to know him and his game plan for the Hatters to knock it out of the park this season.

On August 23, Sabrina Carpenter kept it Short n’ Sweet by delivering an album with just 12 cute and coquettish songs. This summer the world has been embracing her charmingly suggestive anthems with open arms, and with the release of this new album, she became the first female artist to simultaneously have their album chart #1 in the UK while holding the top 3 in the singles chart. With Short n’ Sweet reaching critical mass, it’s no wonder that Sabrina Carpenter is a worl

Tiny Desk Concerts, KEXP and BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge have proven with their high viewership that radio performances aren’t as shadowed as people might’ve initially thought. We are living at a time in the Digital Revolution where people have immediate access to immaculate studio mixes, yet melomaniacs are still captivated by radio performance. We’ve seen all our favorite artists do them, and truly nothing compares to stripped-down performances mixed with insight from brillia

Hey, Macklemore, can we go thrift shopping? In Macklemore and Robert Lewis’ 2012 hit Thrift Shop feat Wanz, the pair rap about their thrifting experience when they “Only got $20 in [their] pocket[s].” Though a humorous piece of music meant for entertainment, this line still holds truth. Eleven years later, this song reflects the ever-growing cultural movement to thrift. Throughout the fashion industry and social media, there is a growing movement against fast fashion. Compani

Question by Savannah Miranda ’27: How can I best survive exam season? Dear Reader, I’m not going to lie to you, exam season can be demanding both physically and emotionally.
