Recently, I had the privilege of attending the Fall National College Media Convention in Atlanta. Throughout different workshops and speeches, there was one moment that sadly stood out to me. A journalist from...

“We usually cook at my grandma’s house – turkey, mash potatoes, green beans, dinner rolls, just lost of stereotypical Thanksgiving food.” Jasmine Gambia:
“For Thanksgiving, I’m going back home to my parents’ main house. We’re going to hangout. It’s nothing formal, it’s just Filipino food, it’s traditional stuff like grilled pork, exotic stuff.”
Aster Pearson:
“Thanksgiving I’d usually go to on my father’s side. We’d usually go to my grandmother’s, but then with my mother it’s an entirely different deal.” Lan Vu:
“I’ve been here for two semesters. I don’t know maybe going around the city. I haven’t really planned out for Thanksgiving.”
Dystopian fiction is a genre of literature in which everything is, simply put, bad. There are different classifications of dystopian worlds. The goal and messages of these worlds remain the same; Do not become us.

“I really like the DART. It’s like a 7 out of 10 because growing up I used to ride it all the time. It’s so dirty and it’s so unmaintained. Like, there’s this underground station in Dallas that smell like straight feces.” Steven Saban:
“It’s pretty good, I’d probably say a 8 over-all. Sometimes there’s some disruptive people on the bus.”
If you grew up in Dallas, you have definitely seen the yellow arrow of DART. Dallas Area Rapid Transit has been an important part of my life providing me transportation since I was 4.
Over time you pick up more knowledge and unspoken rules of the transit and ways to make sure you’re safe. To not sugar coat, it DART isn’t always the safest and/or cleanest; these stories about DART will provide infor- mation on things to avoid and what to look out for when it comes to taking the public transport around Dallas...

Ethan Penny: 7/10 "The food was good, but the light show was amazing. I do wish it had more variety on the rides there were available, though." Jude Elsadi: 8/10 "It's always a fun time to go to the fair, you can have fun with your family and the rides are enjoyable. I'd give it a 10/10 if the food was cheaper."...
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has successfully navigated a recent impeachment vote in the State Senate. Nevertheless, the specter of an ongoing investigation by the U.S. Justice Department looms large over his political future. In October, Paxton’s legal team will join state prosecutors in court to establish a trial date for his indictment on two counts of securities fraud, a matter that was not directly addressed during the Senate’s acquittal vote.
