From the late 1970s through the 1980s, the horror movie industry produced arguably the most impactful and memorable titles in the genre. From “Halloween” to “Friday the 13th,” these slasher films defined the horror genre and changed the movie industry forever. A large majority of these acclaimed films follow the well-used final girl trope. This reoccurring theme follows the main character, usually a young adult or teen woman, surviving and escaping whatever threat the […]

Water your thoughts: Watermelon sour patch kids are superior
This is something that has divided my friend group. Whenever we go see a movie, buy snacks at the grocery store or are looking for a sweet but sour treat, we argue. Sour Patch Kids are a unanimous favorite among us, but we argue endlessly over which type to choose. Like many other candy brands, […]
Shark speak: How do you feel about the updated mask policy at NSU?
How do you feel about the updated mask policy at NSU? “I feel that it should not have been updated. I see it as they’re using it as percentage-wise to try to enforce and support their ideas for changing it, but if there’s still like two thousand to three thousand cases a day in Florida, then […]

New Halloween traditions to add to your festivities
Traditions can be observed throughout all parts of our lives. Whether it’s a morning routine, a religious or even a political tradition such as having a presidential election every four years. Although they might vary in terms of importance, they still give us something to look forward to. The same can be said for Halloween and other holidays. […]
Gen. Milly made the right call
Gen. Milly was called into congress to testify on the Biden administration’s handling of the Afghanistan conflict. There was, however, a second reason for the testimony–reports that Milly had undermined Trump by calling China’s generals without advising him. Generals from other countries routinely communicate with each other, especially countries that are not at war nor have any militaristic conflicts such as the U.S. […]
NSU’s Instagram does not represent a COVID-19 friendly campus
After promoting NSU’s efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19 on campus and requiring masks in classrooms and at all events on campus, you would think that NSU would coordinate with their social media accounts to at least make it seem like they are enforcing their own rules. Whenever I log into Instagram, I’m disappointed but ultimately not […]
South Floridan fall
Falling leaves and colder weather, sadly, do not occur in our beloved state. Therefore, when autumn rolls around Floridians try their best to pretend that the weather seems colder and the leaves on trees are changing color. One thing many Floridians have the privilege of taking part in is trying anything and everything that has to do with pumpkins. Whether it be at Starbucks or Dunkin, pumpkin food items and drink options have become a staple to Floridian’s list of activities to try during […]
Shark speak: At what age do you think it’s weird (or not weird) to dress up for Halloween?
“I feel like there isn’t an age where it would be weird, but just more what your costume is. So, let’s say if a sixty-five-year-old woman dressed as a provocative nurse then that would be a little weird, but I feel like everybody is entitled to dress up as they want,” said Mia Alvarado, freshman undeclared major. “I don’t know, it depends. I’ve gone trick or […]
Water your thoughts: Why are inappropriate relationships in teen dramas normal?
We all have heard or watched shows such as Riverdale, Gossip girl and Pretty Little Liars. These shows do not tend to show the best depiction of teens and their struggle through high school. Now many will think this is TV. It is meant to be fiction, and it is only for entertainment. The problem rises when TV shows display an underage student and a teacher have an open relationship or presenting an abusive relationship to be romantic. While this can happen in real life it […]
