The recent Louvre heist was astonishingly simple; it was completed with an extendable ladder, some traffic cones, an angle grinder and eight minutes. It is astonishing how simple it was for a few unknown perpetrators to infiltrate one of the world's most renowned museums.
In November of 2024, I spent a weekend in Ireland to visit my older brother who was in graduate school at Trinity College.
On Sept. 29 of this year, Starbucks announced its new protein lattes and cold foam that ranges anywhere from 12 to even 36 grams of protein for a single drink. Auburn’s on-campus Starbucks had these available immediately, and for research purposes I just had to try one.
A single ChatGPT question uses ten times as much electricity as a regular Google search. Fun fact: The use of ChatGPT is entirely voluntary. There are zero legitimate reasons to be using it. We are doing this to ourselves.
I don’t love economics. In fact, even as a massive advocate for liberal arts education, last year I would have told you I hated it. After AP Econ in high school left my intellectual pride severely wounded, I determined economic theory was redundant and impractical, a paradoxical business study that doesn’t lead to any substantial income. Despite continuing my education in the liberal arts, I vowed that economics would remain far from my field. So the reader can imagine how starting Econ 4300 this semester originally filled me with an overwhelming sense of dread and disgust.
Having grown up in a small town in Alabama, I am incredibly familiar with Confederate imagery. Most prominent among these images was the Confederate flag. I've seen entire stores dedicated to this flag. I’ve seen it flapping on the back of lifted trucks and hung in the rooms of friends. I’ve seen it on front license plates and on hats, jackets, boots and so on.
Auburn University is at the forefront of engineering education. It is ranked 33rd in the country for public institution undergraduate engineering programs, per the U.S. News and World Report, with over 22,000 research publications and more than 200 active researchers.
For over a century, Vogue has dominated the fashion industry, predominantly through its influential print magazines that have survived even in the drastic transition into a digital world. Vogue has molded itself to be the epitome of success in the fashion industry and the countless dreams of many to model and be featured in any of their monthly editions.
After three hours of headache-inducing car sickness caused by miles of dirt road leading deep into the jungle mountains, we arrived at Kopi Punik Sumbawa, an award-winning coffee shop deep in the rural landscape of southern Indonesia.
To the Auburn STEM students, 8,132 of which make up the undergraduate Colleges of Engineering and Science and Mathematics alone, artificial intelligence is a terrifying prospect.
During a period of political unrest and nationwide violence that's unprecedented in recent times, the state of Florida has decided its most pressing issue is its rainbow-painted crosswalks.
As a preface to the article, I would like to mention that I wrote and edited this article prior to the two on-campus shootings earlier this month in Utah and Colorado. I could write for hours about the media instilling division through these events or the overshadowing of the school shooting in Colorado by the Charlie Kirk assassination, but in the end, I believe the largest message comes from how outdated this article immediately felt after only one week. We’re in a time when shootings that happened only three weeks ago are forgotten about because of our culture's need for constant relevancy and stimulation. I just hope we don’t move on from the current problems at our hands and address our problems head on.
In a STEM major's mind, it may seem unnoticeable that you aren’t well versed in the arts. By the arts, I mean writing well, speaking well and having knowledge of relevant literature and visual arts. But to an outside observer taught in the classical style of education – grammar, logic, rhetoric – it feels necessary to speak on the gaping hole of intellect and respect that STEM students have for the arts. Not only do I argue that it is noticeable, but it is extremely problematic.
For most Americans, the natural assumption is that when they flush their toilet, the waste disappears into a tightly managed and regulated system. Beneath our cities, vast pipes snake out and flow into wastewater treatment plants, keeping our environment safe from the toxic waste that vanishes into the underground network. This assumption hides one of the greatest environmental scandals in American history.
In this country, law and order has been an increasing talking point. No, I am not referring to the series cooked up by Dick Wolf. Issues of crime, homelessness and immigration have been a focal point in politics for the last decade. All the way back in his 2016 run, Donald Trump took to calling himself the candidate of law and order. In general, we believe that those who do wrong against society should be punished.
College life puts pressure on health in a million different ways. For many students, the warning of the freshman fifteen seems like the only health advice that matters, because it’s all anyone talks about. Even before we step on campus, the rumors and expectations of the freshman fifteen chase us around ad nauseam. When I started college last fall, the freshman fifteen felt like the only thing to be anticipated in the sea of change that college brings.
From Toomer’s Corner to eagle flights to game day chants, Auburn adores its traditions, and as August grows near, the campus waits in anticipation for one of its most beloved: Panhellenic recruitment. In only two short weeks, over 2,000 girls will step onto campus to weather long walks in Auburn heat, loud parties and polished conversations all for the promise of sisterhood and lifelong community. Recruitment can be wonderful, but beyond all the fanfare and perfectly coordinated outfits, this process can be equally stressful.
A handwritten letter is something your loved ones can hold, reread and tuck away for safekeeping. It carries the imprint of your handwriting, your choice of paper and sometimes even your scent, each detail adding a layer of emotional meaning. There’s something incredibly personal about ink meeting page, something raw and unfiltered.
I have found that college brings a frequent experience of being in a class you don’t really understand but have to take. The professors, or at least the good ones, will normally say something along these lines at the beginning of the year: "To memorize is not enough to do well on the test. You will have to understand it enough to apply it.”
Many of you, readers, are about to enter into the next four years of your university life. Some of you, perhaps, are long past then and have rich and full stories. And others, like me, are preparing to leave these four years behind.
