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 […]

October 2023 Ed Desk: Spooky Scary Skeletons
Happy Halloween, Comets! Well, in our heads it’s been Halloween for months now, but once it hits October it becomes socially acceptable to say so. That’s especially true now that the scorching Texas weather is finally starting to reach “comfortable” temperatures, so let’s hope it’ll be a cool and refreshing night of trick-or-treating. But until […]

The Worst Therapy You’ve Never Heard Of

From Strike to Screen
The Synopsis Within the past year, the WGA and, later, SAG-AFTRA both went on strike — for anyone with their head under a rock, these strikes were the refusal to work until employers provide better working conditions — representing the screenwriters and actors of America.

It’s Okay to Let Things Flop

Ratford Rises From the Grave
Q: Is it okay to think the Grim Reaper is hot? A: Who wouldn’t? Sure, he’s the walking definition of a red flag. However, he does check all my boxes. Tall, pale, bony, and over thirty. My dream guy TBH. Q: Is it true there’s a secret witches’ coven in the sewers under UTD? A: […]
