Spring is here, Comets! That means it’s the perfect time to catch up on some spring cleaning, clear out some contacts on your phone, and do anything else that makes you feel renewed.

Happy Valentine’s Comets! And also, happy Black History Month! Even though Valentine’s Day is only celebrated one day out of the month, February will always be a season of love, the color pink, and cringy Hallmark movies. Hopefully, we won’t be seeing any Covid-19 themed Hallmark movies because most of the world still agrees that […]

Cool Cats Couch How would you describe your show to someone who has never listened? It’s a talk show where me and maybe someone else just hang out and talk about whatever, really. We just talk about life and what led us to where we are in life, and other random topics that pop up. […]

What’s the name of your show? “My show is Original Pop Rocks. It’s a play on words. There’s the show Pop Rocks, famous on Sirius XM that plays pop music. But I wanted to call my show original pop rocks because I play music from the late 70s to early 80s time period. Which also […]

Happy Halloween Comets! We here at AMP would like to discuss some of the scariest and spookiest things that happened last month. Starting off: the 2021 Met Gala; the horrors were truly endless. There was poor fashion choices and badly timed, poorly attempted political statements. The theme was American Fashion, and somehow the crowd of […]

Welcome back comets! We at AMP have dearly missed throwing out our unassailable opinions and hearing laughter all over campus from our witty satirical pieces.

AMP Watches: I’m In Love With a Church Girl

As if the deadly snowstorm that we faced in February wasn’t enough to prove the failure of our elected officials, in March, Governor Greg Abbott recalled the statewide mask mandate. Statewide, masks are no longer required in public places. Even though most businesses will still require masks in their stores, some will not. Other businesses […]
