Boba Stores with Parking Lots
By Sandra Vo, Staff Writer
Let’s picture this. The car windows are down and the speakers are turned up as you drive into downtown Denver. You’re elated because you found a five dollar bill in your desk after cleaning up earlier and, combined with the pile of change that’s been piling up in your car’s cup holder, you have seven dollars to spend on a cup of boba. Your friend told you about the cutest new boba place that just opened up, and you’ve decided that you absolutely must go.
But there’s no parking lot.
You circle around the block, eyes peeled for any open spot next to the curb, trying not to think about the impending humiliation of attempting to parallel park. You could try heading into a parking garage, but with only seven dollars in your pocket, you wouldn’t even be able to afford being in there for an hour, much less buy boba on top of that.
To remedy that, here’s a list of the top places around Denver that spare you from that parking pain.

Absent Parents
By Adriana Gonzalez-Ibarra, Staff Writer
I remember when I was 9
Asking my mom, "is dad coming to pick us up today" with a hopeful smile on my tiny face
"I don't know mija he hasn't called me" causing that smile to fade within a second
I was 9
It was a no call no show once again
This is the third time this month
"Why don't you want to see me, dad", is what I thought thinking he didn't love us anymore
I was 9 when you left me
Perspectives of Black Students at Regis University
By Paige Robinson, Staff Photographer
During Black History Month 2023, I was curious to hear different perspectives from other Black students than myself to engage in their different stories, experiences, advice, and more. Along with me wanting to hear from my peers, I also wanted others to listen and understand what life might be like for a Black student, especially attending a PWI (predominantly white institution). Some responses may be what some expect, while other responses may come as a shock. Many times, Black voices are silenced so people can avoid hearing the hard truth about our lives and our history. I want to put an end to that, and I really hope people can truly feel for the Black students. The responses to the questions below will reflect how each student differs, but also connect. Other fellow Black students can also read this and know they are not alone. This is for those to understand the realities of the minority community, the good and bad.
