College dorms are the pinnacle of what represents the college experience.But for me, this dream to dorm in college has become a grim reality—it’s too expensive and the price tag is only getting bigger each year. NSU may have great housing options for students to choose from to fit their needs, but these housing options […]

Water your thoughts: How Special Are You?
Summer of my high school senior year, I wanted to chop half of my hair off. All of a sudden in the midst of all changes happening in my life, friends moving away, knowing that my daily high school routine would be forever disrupted made me want to change my hair to reflect on the […]
“Emotional support animals” — quotations necessary
I love dogs. I mean, who doesn’t? I love cats, and bunnies and hedgehogs. I just love animals. I miss having my own dog sleep with me every night or having an animal to support me when times are rough. So, when I heard about being able to qualify your animals as “emotional support animals” […]
Please stop releasing your pets
Pets are great and I love animals as much as the next person, but exotic pets can be difficult to raise and many people would rather just release them instead of caring for them. Releasing exotic pets into the wild is dangerous for the native ecosystem. Take Florida’s wild monkeys, for instance. Rhesus macaques, native […]
Shark Speak: As a college student, how do you feel about privileged parents buying their child’s way into school?
“It’s a little disappointing honestly, to see how celebrities and people with the money and the influence can still do it—it’s kind of sad.” Nathan Lapaix, freshman neuroscience major “I think that it’s unfair. For us normal people, we actually work hard to get into school and […]
We need to actually talk about mental health

We host Suicide Awareness Walks and when exams are around the corner we hold events to “destress” from all of our exams. Yet, we still have […]
So, how about this year’s best picture winner?
I love watching The Oscars. Every year I always make awards predictions, tune in on that Sunday to watch the show and complain with my friends online about the winners. Going into Oscar night this year, the telecast of the Academy Awards had everything against it. With Kevin Hart stepping down as host, the Academy […]

The outbreak started in Dec. 2014, with the first documented case being found in a village in Guinea. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention believed that the virus was contracted from bats. The first fatalities were […]
Get your life in alphabetical order
We’ve all heard of the ever-procrastinating student, the last-minute maven. Their tales of submitted a term paper at 11:59:59 ring through our ears as we put off our reading for just one more day. Then, low and behold, it’s a Sunday night and a week’s worth of work falls into our laps, begging like a […]
Just fix it.
Picture it, you’re on your way to class after just finishing a tutoring session on the second floor of the Student Affairs Building. You have ten minutes to spare—just enough time to get downstairs and walk to your next destination. You press the “down” button for the elevator. Nothing happens, so you absentmindedly press it […]
