Opinion: The little things count the most

By Claire Tully | Campus Writer | November 9

For many of us, nearly every important memory in our lives has had something to do with our parents. However, it’s important to note the roles they played in the moments of our life that seem so insignificant in the grand scheme of things. We forget about the little things they did for us like take us to the pumpkin patch each autumn, going to all of our little league games, making brownies for the bake sale at school we forgot to mention and just generally being our number one cheerleaders.

OPINION: Bama boys are not that bad

By Anne Dawson | Community Reporter | November 2

Ever since I can remember, the Auburn/Alabama rivalry has been a big deal. When I was as young as five, my school would have team dress up days where each kid showed off their spirit for the team they cheered for- most every kid wore the orange and blue or crimson and white combos.

EDITORIAL: Victim blaming is not okay

By Editorial Staff | Fall 2015 | October 30

Females are constantly advised not to drink too much or to go places alone, particularly after dark, because “someone might take advantage of you.” If a girl wears what could be considered revealing clothing, then automatically, “she was asking for it.” Even if a woman is wearing revealing clothing or walking alone at night, it is disturbing that in today’s times, women are often advised to take precautions that males aren’t, because if they don’t then some people believe it’s partially their fault if they become a victim of sexual assault.

OPINION: Class registration's unpredictability is not fair

By Claire Tully | Campus Writer | October 28

Some of us are on multiple wait lists, while some of us are forced to take electives or classes we aren’t interested in. The question that constantly runs through my mind regarding this process, is why is there so much uncertainty with our schedules and with our graduation dates? More importantly, why is this the case when so many of us work hard and pay thousands of dollars a year to earn a degree within a certain timeframe?

OPINION: Gender stereotypes are only harming ourselves

By Ellen Jackson | Photographer | October 27

For as long as I can remember there have been unwritten rules we must follow in order to not appear different. In America, any differences from the norm are seen as weakness, not strength. And unfortunately, the ultimate judgment people get for being unique actually comes from our peers.

EDITORIAL: Better ways to balance the budget

By Editorial Staff | Fall 2015 | October 23

We understand the necessity of balancing the state budget and realize that it is not easy to make cuts. However, closing DMV offices, regardless of which county they were located in, should have never been an option. There are too many other areas in which budget cuts could’ve been made that would’ve produced a better result financially.

OPINION: The importance of waiting until you're willing

By Allison Phillips | Opinion Editor | October 21

When you get a pet, you are taking responsibility for another living being. You need to be in a place where you can, and want to make the pet a top priority.

OPINION: Support all members of the Auburn Family

By Emily Enfinger | Photo Editor | October 21

Although we are a student media group that is supported by the University, we are not here to act as it's PR. We are here to learn and become credible journalists who do their job and tell the truth. We are not here to entertain you. We are here to inform you of the news. Auburn fans should take pride in the fact that there are many groups and organizations on campus that help students reach their fullest potential in their study of interest by providing opportunities to practice and learn. They should support those students, because they are just as much of a representation of the University as any athlete.

Choose what you love, but choose wisely

Juggling school with extracurriculars, a social life, sleep and always-necessary relaxation time is hard, everybody knows that. Unfortunately, people tend to stretch themselves too far, forsaking something they need or want to do so they can cram as many clubs, opportunities and resume builders into their day as possible.
