The Yap with Emily Veasey

     Hello readers! I’m so excited to start an ongoing column where we can talk all things fashion, love, and sex–and overall have a good place to yap. For my first article, and in the spirit of the season, I want to talk about Halloween, but more importantly, the...

Ursinus First Impressions

     Another fall semester at Ursinus means another batch of new first-year students getting to know the college. Students’ first impressions vary, but those whom I interviewed have mainly positive opinions about the college so far. Two first-years I interviewed had lower expectations of what their experience at Ursinus...

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Clamer Hall

     I am going to say it: Clamer Hall is not that bad.      If I heard myself say this at the start of the semester, I would’ve thought the new Wismer food was so bad it started messing with my head. Thankfully, this isn’t so. I genuinely...

Give Me My Money!

     Student workers are everywhere on campus: at the library’s learning curve, at Cafe 2020, in your classes as TAs, and at the gym’s front desk. They are integral to our school community and deserve to be compensated in a timely manner.      In an email sent by...

PSA: Flush the Toilet!

     Flush the toilet. As college freshmen, I thought we would all know how to act in the restroom. To my shock and horror, I have discovered people still can’t flush their pee. This is ironic, given the many restrictions on what we can and can’t flush. We all...

Ritter Hall Needs Work

Picture this: It’s 11:51 a.m., and you’re walking from the FLB to Ritter Hall, eager to earn that core art credit lingering over your head. You’re still pumped from the team workout you just completed and are replenishing your energy with a smoothie from the new robot. As you walk...

 First Year Review on First Year Housing

Spring is well and truly underway. The flowers are blooming, the rain is pouring, and Ursinus’ Residence Life has sent many emails reminding everyone that the oft-stressful housing selection process is here again. As a freshman here at Ursinus, I did not have to worry about housing before coming here...

Where’s The Party At?

Is the party scene here at Ursinus on the decline? As compared to previous years, I would say that things have definitely changed regarding the school’s weekend social scene. In my opinion, the biggest contributing factor to this is the almost two years of Covid protocols that completely altered the...

Taco Tuesday Tastiness

Ever hear of an authentic Mexican joint located inside of a Quick-Stop? I hadn’t until I took a tour down Collegeville’s Main Street to discover it for myself. Sharing its space with Quick-Stop lies El Gordo Bros, welcoming a little piece of Mexico with their amazing authentic food. They have...
