The Rising Problem of Peter Pan Syndrome
By Austin Price, Editor in Chief
Growing up is hard. There’s no other way to say it. Being an adult is hard. There’s no other way to say it. However, despite these hardships, growing up is an imperative part of life. Growing up does not have to mean having no fun or always working hard. But it does mean increased responsibility and both physical and mental maturity. As a young adult myself, I still love to have fun. I love to watch Disney movies and dance to Taylor Swift music. But I also make my car payments on time and have a credit card. Being an adult is a balancing act of meeting societal expectations and allowing yourself to enjoy life. While there’s nothing wrong with having a little fun, there is a rising number of young adults who choose to shirk their adult responsibilities entirely, labeling them as sufferers of Peter Pan Syndrome.
Abortion Pill Makes It to the Supreme Court
By Caleigh Montoya, Staff Writer
The battle over the abortion pill has finally reached the Supreme Court. The FDA made the abortion pill more accessible as medicated abortions were spiking and now the Supreme Court is investigating whether or not the FDA made the right decision.

The good thing is that most people across all political parties back the abortion pill.

The New Listener’s Guide to Taylor Swift’s Album Collection
By Austin Price, Editor in Chief
Taylor Swift is one of the most elite, successful, and well-known musical artists in our world today. Swift made history with her seamless transition between the genres of country music and pop music. In addition, Swift has also explored the indie and folk musical genres. She has received accolades for her songwriting, artistry, and entrepreneurship, all of which have majorly influenced the music industry and popular culture. Taylor Swift has released 10 original studio albums, 4 re-recorded studio albums, 5 extended plays, and 4 live albums. With such a massive amount of published material, I would argue that Taylor Swift is a genre all on her own. She certainly has enough music to support it.
Walk A Day in My Heels
By Austin Price, Editor in Chief
I am a woman. Simple statement I know but complicated undertones. I am a woman. I am smart, I am kind, and I am worthy. With every positive aspect from my womanhood comes negative aspects that men do not often face.
The Ethical Frontier of Gene Editing
By Ebenezer Appiah, Staff Writer
The modern classic Back to the Future, depicts a distant world much like something you’d see in a sci-fi fantasy. That world isn’t so distant now. In fact, the “future”, showcased in the popular movie franchise, was nearly 8 years ago in real-time. While we certainly haven’t reached the point of flying cars, society has progressed to developing mind-breaking innovations, and their applications can open doors for the potential to solve majorly pressing issues or welcome a new and terrifying reality.
