To be determined - by Amelia Roessler

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...

A return to family connections

Well, it’s been an eventful weekend for sure. I was fortunate enough that my family wanted to come to the Cities and stay the weekend at the hotel directly across the street from my apartment. My sister, mom, grandma, and godmother showed up Friday afternoon to start the “girls’ weekend.” Only...

Finding ways to use my skills to help others

This past week, I have been learning a lot, and I’m not talking about my classes. What I have found is really nice about working as a reporter for the Minnesota Daily is that I get to meet, talk to, and learn a lot about a variety of different people on campus. For example, I have recently...

Can ChatGPT be held legally responsible?

As school drags on, so do the lectures. This week was special, though, because I had another speaker outside all the usual ones. My media law professor required our class to go to a guest lecture by a Cornell professor who teaches law and has a degree in computer science. His talk was titled “The...
