Viharachard Dorval/Staff Writer The Graham Center: a place where most students on our campus congregate in search of food, social exchanges and apparently love — but without the commitment. For the past couple weeks, I’ve noticed a pattern forming: students approaching each other, having lunch, disappearing together and ignoring each other the following week. Unfortunately, […]
Damielys Duarte/Contributing Writer As Floridians, we grew up surrounded by the worried whispers of our parents during hurricane season, as well as stories surrounding Hurricane Andrew and its devastating effect on the state. But after thirty years of few hurricanes, it seems as though the younger generation in South Florida can’t wait for more storms […]
Viharachard Dorval/Contributing Writer When I first heard news coverage on the mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio, I immediately logged onto Twitter. After clicking hashtag after hashtag, soaking up as much information as I could, my blood began to boil as I read the gruesome details. I saw a 30-second clip of the shooter moments before […]
Viharachard Dorval/Contributing Writer Generation Z is Generation smart, or at least Generation well-informed. These students, born between 1995 and 2012, have never known a world without the internet, allowing them to connect globally and access information in droves. Now that these digital pioneers are ready for college, it will be fascinating to see how […]
Gabriella Pinos/ Staff Writer Millennials are delusional, selfish, lazy – and tired as hell. The term, which refers to those born in the 1980s and the 1990s, has become a buzz word generalizing the internet-savvy young adults populating the workforce. If your parents use it, it’s probably in a negative way, as millennials have been […]
Brea Jones/Staff Writer With the declining numbers in church attendance and religious affiliation, our current generation seems to be more separated from religion than ever before, especially when compared to previous generations. However, although many believe religion will quickly die out in the next few decades, that may not actually be the case. Many millennials […]
Brea Jones/Staff Writer Several months ago, I was asking my professor—a fellow journalist—for writing advice. This professor told me that I should switch from writing for the opinion section and start writing for the news section, following the statement with, “No offense, but you are not old enough to have an opinion.” I’m sure that […]
David Pradere/ Contributing Writer A concept that seems to have infiltrated the millennial mind is that with age comes an added responsibility and burden. This can be traced back to the generation prior teaching their children that adulthood is nothing but taxes, bills, and obligations that one really doesn’t want to be obligated to. If […]
Belen Sassone/ Contributing Writer Gender roles have always played a big part on how society operates. From the moment a baby is born, most parents choose how they’ll raise them solely based on their sex. Girls have always been taught to follow different rules than boys, and vice versa. As a kid, I refrained from […]
Bianca Antunez/Contributing Writer If you didn’t post it, it didn’t happen. That seems to be a modern-day adage of the millennial generation. The stress for individuals, especially college students, to be #instaworthy or #goals these days is something that has taken this generation by storm. In a life behind photo filters, more people are sharing their […]
Nelida Insua-Coelho/Contributing Writer If there’s one cause that has benefited from social media and the technological revolution, it’s veganism. Undercover videos, access to recipes and research is now accessible to anyone with Internet connection. It is no secret the environment is rapidly deteriorating. We are consuming the Earth’s resources at an accelerated rate, not letting […]
Milagros Viquez/Assistant Entertainment Director Isabela Vanga/Contributing Writer Although there are hundreds of restaurants located within a few square miles from any given residential area in Miami, millennials (those born between the early 1980s and 1996) are increasingly resorting to takeout via delivery apps, like UberEats and Postmates, among others. One out of five millennials orders […]
