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.

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.
