Patriots bounce back with win in week 2 over Steelers

Aidan Thompson Asst. Sports Editor The New England Patriots looked to improve to 1-1 in the hopes of not starting 0-2. This would be the first season in 20 years that they would have started 0-2. That wasn’t the case this week as the Patriots were able to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 17-14. They were able to attack the Steelers defense, as the Steelers were without their star edge rusher T.J. Watt. The offense, led by second year quarterback Mac Jones, looked noticeably diffe

Trouble in TD Garden

Nick Silveira Anchor Staff Writer The Boston Celtics, on Thursday, announced Head Coach Ime Udoka is suspended for the entire upcoming 2022-23 season. This suspension may come as a surprise for many fans initially, especially after Udoka led the team to an NBA Finals appearance in only his first season at the helm. However, the details of the case, what little we have at this point, unveil a possibly sinister story behind this suspension – one that goes far deeper than origin

Kelly Graziano talks women’s soccer

Jamila Coleman Anchor Staff Writer Through five games, the Rhode Island College women’s soccer team has scored a total of three goals, held an opponent at bay and have made some beautifully orchestrated defensive plays.

Why financial literacy is important

Isabella Santoro Photography Editor Many students these days don’t understand what financial literacy is. Financial literature pertains to the idea that a student should understand how to manage and control their finances. This is an important concept for college students, especially during the current recession. Most high schools don’t teach financial literacy courses. Mine did, and I was able to take it in my last year. In it, I learned how to write a check, stay on budget,

Quietly quitting: a mental health story

Mel Rising Dawn Cordeiro Managing Editor Over a third of U.S. college students are reportedly “quiet quitting” college in order to prioritize their mental health and are preferring a work-life balance over school. This is based on a survey of 1,000 college students aged 18 to 24. “Quiet quitting” usually refers to employees not going above and beyond in the workplace. In a school setting, it refers to students only doing the bare minimum to get by in their classes. 1 in 5 stu

These five things

Samantha Gervais Anchor Staff Writer If you’re anything like most college students around the world you’re probably trying to crunch everything into one schedule. This can include, but isn’t limited to making sure assignments are turned in on time and fitting all aspects of life into one convenient time frame, which is a recipe for anxiety attacks and health problems. Having health problems on top of this is going to make all the normal responsibilities so much more wearing a

Can you hear that?

Emily Gervais Anchor Contributor I always saw the world as an amazing place: I had friends, I would play outside, I would do my school work and I would do what any happy, healthy kid would do at 10 years old. I thought my life would always be as easy as it was before I turned 11, when suddenly I couldn't hear my mom call me to come for dinner. She didn't believe me at first, which is understandable. She thought I was just being a kid, but it didn't stop. I continued not being

Netflix’s “Do Revenge” is shaking things up

Olivia Barone Anchor Staff Writer We are no strangers to dark, high school dramas. Admittedly terrifying, this genre of film takes the already scary high school environment and magnifies the nightmares of classrooms and social cliques. Netflix’s new, “Do Revenge” has entered the scene as the newest challenger to the genre, joining “Mean Girls” and “Heathers” as another high school gone-wrong movie.

The problem with a promise is trust Considering I could promise you something, but for what? Because I could never give you my dedication but you believe me to be h

Why handwriting is still important

Isabella Santoro Photography Editor Cursive writing isn’t taught as frequently anymore in schools around the United States, and even printing is becoming obsolete. I still remember when I was in the second and third grade, we were taught how to write cursive. And to this day, I can’t say I use it often. But I do switch to cursive when printing becomes too tedious. I’ve noticed, as have my peers, that kids these days are no longer being taught how to write in cursive. As well,
