Wake Up Americans, Donald Trump Serving A Second Term Isn’t Far fetched After All

March 27, 2020 By Cierra Franklin Leave a Comment

With‌ ‌election‌ ‌season‌ ‌kicking‌ ‌into‌ ‌overdrive,‌ ‌the‌ ‌American‌ ‌public‌ ‌can’t‌ ‌help‌ ‌but‌ ‌to‌ ‌cringe‌ ‌thinking‌ ‌about‌ ‌the‌ ‌outcome‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌2020‌ ‌Presidential‌ ‌Election.‌ Although‌ ‌President‌ ‌Trump‌ ‌seems‌ ‌like‌ ‌a‌ ‌villain‌ ‌that‌ ‌everyone‌ ‌loves‌ ‌to‌ ‌hate,‌ ‌Trump’s‌ ‌job‌ ‌approval‌ ‌remains‌ ‌elevated‌ ‌at‌ ‌a‌ ‌steady‌ ‌‌49‌ ‌percent.‌ ‌‌More‌ ‌importantly,‌ ‌it‌ ‌must‌ ‌be‌ ‌noted‌ ‌that‌ ‌according‌ ‌to‌ ‌a‌ ‌CBS‌ ‌Poll,‌ ‌“65%‌ ‌of‌ ‌Americans‌ ‌feel‌ ‌that‌ ‌Trump‌ ‌will‌ ‌definitely‌ ‌or‌ ‌more‌ ‌than‌ ‌likely‌ ‌be‌ ‌elected.‌ ‌As‌ ‌much‌ ‌I‌ ‌would‌ ‌like‌ ‌to‌ ‌think‌ ‌otherwise,‌ ‌I‌ ‌too‌ ‌believe‌ ‌that it is very plausible that Trump could pull off serving a second term.‌ ‌ ‌

Student Profile: Yanne Toussaint

February 8, 2020 By Haley Bartoletta Leave a Comment

In less than a month, Yanne Toussaint will end her collegiate athletic career forever. She will no longer dread setting her alarm for 6:00 a.m. every morning. She will no longer have to sit through hours upon hours of bus rides. She will no longer spend long nights finishing that one assignment she didn’t have time to do between practices. When she graduates in May, Yanne Toussaint will board a plane back to her hometown in the Netherlands, and at first she may not look back.

‘No’ Turns Into ‘Maybe’ And ‘Maybe’ Turns Into ‘Yes’ Thanks To Peer Pressure

January 23, 2020 By Haley Bartoletta Leave a Comment

We’ve all played the ‘how far can my eyes roll back into my head game’ as our parents lectured us about making our own choices and remembering that “just because our friends jump off a bridge doesn’t mean we have too”. Naturally, we let their warnings roll off our shoulders and into our dress that’s a little too short and our shoes that are a little too high.

You Can’t Speak Another Language?

January 21, 2020 By Marissa Brown Leave a Comment

In America, learning a foreign language is not compulsory until high school. Upon entering college, schools only require that you take the minimum one year of any foreign language course. While the requirements for taking a foreign language course are minimal in the United States, I have learned that most colleges provide students with the option to become proficient in another language by offering rigorous courses; except Brenau University.
