To be determined - by Amelia Roessler

Anxiety, relationships and adulting

Well, it’s been quite a week in Amelia’s world. Settle in, grab your cup of dark coffee (because that’s what you all drink in my mind), and let me tell you all about it. I write my columns on Tuesdays, since the newspaper gets sent in for publishing on Wednesday. So while you all read this on...

Chalkboards, mortgages and rising interest rates

Now is when the weeks start to fly by in a blur, day after day gone as students trudge to classes and back, doing homework, attending class, and working. My classes this year are interesting. My global communications professor is a 66-year-old gentleman who does not like to use electronic...

New year, new semester, fresh feelings

The semester has officially started, and I have a feeling it’s going to be an interesting one. I’m taking four classes this time: Multimedia Production and Storytelling, Intermediate News Reporting, Global Communications, and Intro to Social Psychology. They should be fun, considering they are...

Surviving a rollercoaster ride from Miami

I have successfully made it to Miami and back, all in one piece. Before I left, everyone I told about my trip gave me questioning looks, wondering why in the world I was going to Miami. I would just shrug and explain it was my friends’ choice. Besides, I’m a college student and I guess that’s...

What are your 2024 resolutions?

Happy New Year! It is now 2024, although the only genuine change I’ve encountered so far is remembering to use a “four” instead of a “three” when I write the date. My New Year's Eve was spent working at the bar, instead of celebrating and watching the countdown, and if I’m honest, it wasn’t that...

Our website was in shambles...until Amelia

Everything is starting to wind down and my brain is already on Christmas break mode. Which is fine, I just have one more final to get through, but I’ve had about a week to study. Which means I have read the entire textbook so that I don’t miss anything on this cumulative final. Also, why are...

What is there to do during winter in Miami?

Well, I have successfully made it through the thick of my finals and have come out on the other side still alive. I had my difficult media law final last Thursday and a midterm on Monday for my psych research methods class. A midterm! My final for the research class is bright and early on...

Gift giving - just tell me what to buy

We are in the throws of finals and if I am completely honest, it sucks. My roommate and I keep sending each other memes (an image, video, piece of text, etc., typically humorous in nature) of having mental breakdowns during finals and that’s helping. Her lab partner will send cat memes to her if...

The Gophers tried and succeeded at losing

Thanksgiving has come and gone in a flash and I find myself thrown full force back into the trials of the semester. But let me reminisce on the few blissful days I had without homework I was able to spend with my family. First was Thanksgiving day, obviously. My family decided we wanted to...

Finally made it to the first scheduled break

Well, it’s finally Thanksgiving break. Two days of bliss is all we get off from school. For the lucky among us, some teachers canceled classes on Wednesday, allowing students to travel home. What I think is interesting is that this is the first break the University scheduled since we started...
