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.

Welcome back, Comets! Since we last saw you, AMP is excited to announce we attended the College Media Awards convention in Atlanta.

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. That’s right, we’re officially more than halfway through the semester, as unreal as that sounds. This is where exams and major assignments really start to pile up, but it’s really not […]

December 2022 Ed Desk: Privileged billionaire is not actually smart *gasp*
Happy Holidays, Comets! We’re coming to the best time of year, where students must simultaneously prepare for finals, finish projects, and have conversations with the least likable members of their families. For those struggling with (forced) family time, it helps to smile and nod to prevent prolonged interactions. Smiling and nodding is also a tactic […]

Firstly, the British monarchy had a huge change in leadership with Queen Elizabeth dying and her son King Charles III taking her place. Many have taken this time to express their thoughts on the unsavory history of Britain’s royal […]
