The WIllamette River is arguably as big a part of UP’s identity as the bluff itself — it’s part of UP’s logo. But for nearly all of UP’s 121 year existence, there has been a disconnect between the two.

It seems that everybody is focused on what green outfits to wear every St. Patrick’s Day (whether this is out of excitement or fear of being pinched is unclear), but what we tend to neglect is St. Patrick’s day food. Sure, there’s corned beef and cabbage – which is still delicious – but it doesn’t hold the same charm as Valentine's Day heart-shaped cookies or candy apples on Halloween.

The sun is shining, birds are chirping and campus is bustling with life. It’s a sunny day in Portland. But amongst all of the commotion, you hear a faint whirring in the distance.
The news I received in 2010 was heartbreaking to 10-year-old me.
Freshman Citlalli Badillo, a seventh floor resident of Mehling Hall, does her laundry every Sunday night to optimize her time throughout the week.
I remember the day so vividly. It was one late night in July — I had my headphones in and wanted nothing more than to escape into a different world that had nothing to do with a global pandemic. While on the verge of a mental breakdown, I opened Spotify, intending to play my “sleep sad” playlist. Except this time I played something different that had appeared on my Spotify homepage: Folklore by Taylor Swift.
I want to open this piece by being very clear about my stance regarding the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It is despicable, alarming, deeply saddening, and entirely immoral in every sense of the term. To invade a country of innocent people for entirely personal reasons (while donned in the cheap and tawdry garb of international interests) is disgusting regardless of the context. I despise what is happening and am incredibly heartbroken.
Trigger warning: talk of mental illness, drug abuse, suicide
For almost five years, I have served in the role of Diversity and Inclusion Program (DIP) Coordinator at the University of Portland. My name is Yuri Hernández Osorio (she/ella) and I have the luxury of working in a field that brings me a lot of fulfillment from knowing that I get to impact the lives of minoritized students. I have been serving the UP Community, working alongside and for QTBIPOC (Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, People of Color)/historically excluded communities to make UP a inclusive and more equitable place.
I spent a lot of time thinking about whether or not I wanted to put the money into buying a pair of my own roller skates. I had never roller skated before, but it was 2020 and I was bored out of my mind during the pandemic, just itching for anything to do. I spent way too much time on Tik Tok during the summer of 2020 while everyone was still quarantining. One day, a video posted by Ana Octo showed up on my page. In the video, she’s roller skating down a sunny street to the song “Jenny from the block” by Jennifer Lopez. She looked like she was having the most fun in the world and I was hooked. I spent so much time looking through her entire page, but roller skates were so expensive and I didn’t want to spend the money on my own pair.
The art of drag is an integral element of queer culture, and it’s something the Gender and Sexuality Partnership (GSP) club has been wanting to bring to UP for some time now.
