Frighteningly Disappointing: The 13th Floor Haunted House Review
According to USA Today, the 13th Floor Haunted House in Denver is one of the 5 best haunted houses in the country. However, nowadays, the 13th Floor seems to be blown out of proportion by its reputation and hampered by it. Even on a Monday night, groups spend only a fifth of the time inside the attraction as they do waiting in line, and parking costs just as much as an extra ticket as the streets were lined with parked cars for three blocks in every direction. That being said, should you go to this event, be sure to arrive on time or even early to your scheduled ticket time to save yourself the one to two hours spent in line. Also, be sure to have $20 cash for parking and a good deal of patience to work through the crowds, traffic, and remarkably condescending and aggressive lot attendants.
Dancing with the Stars’ Tango with Irrelevancy
Once revered as one of the greatest reality television shows of all time, Dancing with the Stars now faces a tall order to stay relevant in the age of streaming and decline of cable TV. Though it’s earned its place in the hearts of middle-aged people and the older generation, Dancing with the Stars has failed to capture a spot on the watchlist with a younger audience (many of whom may not even know what the acronym “DWTS” refers to).
Being Intentional: Simple Sources of Happiness
By: Morgan Jacobus, Editor in Chief
Take a moment and think to yourself, ‘What makes me happy?’ Don’t overthink it, it can be as simple as mac and cheese (yes, that is on my list).
Now I want you to think of how you can bring more of what makes you happy into your life. The important thing here is just being intentional with how you bring happiness into your life. Something that has taken me a while to accept is that you make time for what is important to you. If it is important, make time. Maybe watch one less episode of Netflix or spend 30 minutes less on your phone. There is time, you just have to find it, and put it toward what is important to you.

By Alaina Valdespino, Staff Writer and Photographer
“After everything we as individuals... and as a collective have experienced this past year and a half, the least we can do is Treat People with Kindness.” -Harry Styles Love on Tour SA 2021
Harry Styles took the stage at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, TX on the eve of September 9, 2021, marking his third performance on his highly anticipated Love on Tour. For a vast majority of concert goers, me included, this tour was the first live and in-person musical experience in nearly 2 years, making it a highly anticipated event and performance. The eagerness to see an in-person concert added to the existing hype surrounding Harry Styles’ tour contributed to make this performance a night to remember.
Start Strong in Class: A Guide to Professors
By: Kira Oviedo, Staff Writer
One of the most common misconceptions spread by high school educators is that college professors are more or less hard-headed. As a first-year student, it is reasonable to prepare for this type of environment, but is that the reality? Fortunately enough, I believe this to be a myth. On the contrary, I have found that professors encourage inclusivity and understanding. Despite this comforting fact, there is still action that can be taken to form a good relationship with your professor.
