Flickr From the Editors
In the last week, I have come to realize how important mental health is. I follow people recently who have been “canceled” on major platforms, and with the backlash that they have received for saying something when they were 12-13- years-old really made me realize how bad the internet used to be/still is. In the years 2012-2016, the internet was a free reign palace with little to no rules, and I am just now remembering how much of the internet was excusing racial slurs and LGBTQ+ slurs. I do wish that people would not send death threats to people who were freely speaking their minds as 12-15- year-olds, but I do understand repercussions for being actively harmful to others. - Gracyn Richardson
I’m starting to run out of things to do now. Most of my classes only have one or two things to complete a week and with most extracurricular activities cancelled for the foreseeable future there is not much to do. It is nice having a job that was deemed essential as I do not have to worry about being unemployed at this time. If I were to have absolutely nothing to do I would probably go crazy. With a little more than 3 weeks left it doesn’t really feel like I’m about to graduate with everything else that’s happening. And I’m pretty bummed that the online commencement isn’t happening in Roblox. - Trenton Bann
