March 2024 Ed Desk: Weebs Good, Capitalism Bad
Hello, Comets! The Spring semester is well underway now — midterms sure creeped up fast — and so is the construction around the Student Union. Ahh, the sounds of heavy machinery in the morning. We heard the superb… owl? or something? happened last month. We all know UTD students don’t care about sports, so we […]

December 2023 Ed Desk: Season Greason’s
Welcome back, Comets! Since we last saw you, AMP is excited to announce we attended the College Media Awards convention in Atlanta. We got to meet other college media editors, heard from hugely influential journalists, and learned about many aspects of magazine production. While there, we were given an Honorable Mention in layout design! In […]

November 2023 Ed Desk: Changing Seasons
Hello again, Comets! We hope you had a Happy Halloween — and that you left enough time between costume parties to study for midterms.

But until […]

Food For Thought
As much as I love the idea of winter — wearing cute fluffy clothes, drinking hot chocolate, and making pitiful snowmen with the half inch of snow we get in Texas — I unfortunately cannot stand the cold. Since we’ve been getting below freezing temperatures lately, I wanted to find some hot Venezuelan food to […]

DJ Showcase: Noah Rayburn
As you might guess from a title like “Audio Transmission Sending Waves,” the host of this RadioUTD show, Noah Rayburn, can be a bit eccentric. In the short time I chatted with him he told me stories of fish men from Atlantis, hinted at a dark past with the sky people, and shifted his accent […]

Descent Into Madness: A Beginner’s Guide to FNAF

This is a momentous occasion for fans of the franchise who have been watching […]
