OPINION: Brat summer prompts voter dissonance

OPINION: Brat summer prompts voter dissonance By Ana VaraAssistant EditorPublished Thursday, Oct. 24, 2024 As the Troye Sivan- and Charlotte “Charli xcx” Aitchison-led Sweat Tour comes to an end and the brat remix album continues to top the charts, we have only just left the peak of brat summer—a phenomenon I can’t quite fathom to have grown quite as big as it has. I should understand this. My second-ever college class taught us that the last sequence of the existence of social movements in contemporary American society is integration, a folding into the mainstream culture. My mind won’t budge. Ana Varaassistant editor Though I can see it. There we are, the American populace, barrelling down from the brat green hill that we decided to stake our Jonathan “Lil Jon” Smith-endor...

FEATURE: Rivergull hosts Unsent Letters event

FEATURE: Rivergull hosts Unsent Letters event By Marissa ContrerasManaging EditorPublished Thursday, Oct. 10, 2024 There are times when people write letters but lack the courage to send them. The Rivergull Journal recently helped some attendees get those thoughts off their chest with its Unsent Letters event. On Sept. 27, The Rivergull held a public event to read anonymous Unsent Letters aloud to a crowd. Linda Flores | BridgeKaitlyn Lozano, left, with The Rivergull Journal, reads an Unsent Letter during the event of the same name on Sept. 27. Every letter had to be addressed and written without a name attached. This way, attendees could be comfortable as someone else read their letter.

OPINION: Artificial turf takes out student on campus

OPINION: Artificial turf takes out student on campus By Ana VaraAssistant EditorPublished Tuesday, Oct. 8, 2024 AstroTurf: 1. Me: 0. It was a relatively calm Tuesday morning when I fell, almost completely flat on my face, into and by consequence of the school’s new installation of green and shiny new AstroTurf. Now, turf enthusiasts would tell you this wasn’t the case, that it’s all my fault and that I must’ve done it to myself by having stepped on the grass and all but I’m here to tell you that they’re wrong. Ana VaraAssistant Editor They’re wrong because this isn’t even AstroTurf, it’s actually artificial turf. No name brand turf, no; Texas A&M International University does not invest their money in the real stuff—the stuff called AstroTurf because it was first install...

OPINION: MOVIE REVIEW: ‘The Whale’: A story grounded in truth

OPINION: MOVIE REVIEW: ‘The Whale’: A story grounded in truth By Andre SolisBridge Staff WriterPublished Tuesday, Oct. 8, 2024 The Whale follows the life of a college English teacher as he attempts to reconcile with his estranged daughter.

Andre SolisBridge Staff Writer This film comes from production company A24 and director Darren Aronofsky. Filmed in a clustered apartment, Aronofsky’s use of space is clever and intentful. The camera focuses on the couch where Charlie spends most of his time due to his atrophying physical state, mirroring his unwavering beliefs about the human condition and his struggl...
