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 […]

Nov 2022 Ed Desk: Close to the Finish Line
Hey Comets! We hope the semester has been going well for y’all, and we appreciate all the support we’ve been receiving here at AMP. In August of this year, President Joe Biden announced that student loan debt relief was finally going to be implemented. College students and alumni collectively rejoiced, with many expressing hesitation because […]

Ed Desk: October 2022
Happy Halloween, Comets! We’re almost halfway through the semester and some spooky things have been happening. 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 […]

May 2022 Ed Desk: Save the Planet (pt. 346)
Spring has sprung, Comets! We hope y’all are enjoying the warm weather while simultaneously avoiding the mental breakdown that final exams might bring on. Outside is nice and beautiful right now, especially when basking in the sun at the Plinth. However, we can not ignore the recent news on the climate activism movement. Scientists all […]

March 2022 Ed Desk
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. Now might also be the perfect time to start a new show, particularly one of the most talked-about shows on Twitter right […]

February Ed Desk
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 […]

October Ed Desk
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 […]

September Ed Desk
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. Quick update on some of the absolute most important news: Rihanna is a billionaire, Jeff Bezos went to space for like 10 seconds, and the Olympics happened. The Olympics have […]

So Long, and Thanks for All the Nips
As we inch closer and closer to the end of another school year, we thought it best to reflect on what may well have been the worst year (and a half) of our lives. As such, we dedicated the majority of this issue to remembering some of our favorite articles from this past school year. […]

April Ed Desk
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 […]
