Letter To the Editor: Why We Like SoundCloud Rap
By Griffin Forbes and Sascha Miller Music taste plays a big part in how students express themselves, and we believe melodic rap should be more popularized because it blends so many different genres instead of sticking to just one. Rock, hip hop, rap, punk rock, and other smaller subgenres were and still are some of the most inspirational influences on this style of music.

Letter To The Editor: Why AOTTTG2 Is My Favourite Attack on Titan Fan Game
By Gavinn Forsythe I’ve been playing Attack on Titan games since around 2020, and so far AOTTG2 has been my favourite. It has almost everything I’d want in an AOT game.

Letter to The Editor: The Rain is Back!
Over the past few days students may have noticed how rainy the outside world tends to be. We have reached a point in fall (seeing as we live in a temperate rainforest) where instead of crunchy leaves, we have wet boots. Some people would say that they hate living in a place that stays too wet and unseasonably muggy outside. As the first clouds peek through, everyone knows fall is near to set in.
