It’s been a long year, and a long semester. I’ve spent more time looking at a screen in the past couple months than I would care to admit, but what else am I supposed to do now that the majority of my academic and social life takes place entirely online? Our school work has never been more demanding and our motivation to actually do it has never been lower. Let’s just say that this isn’t exactly the freshman year of college that I was expecting. Despite all of that though, there is one thing that has made this year so much better for me than it would have been otherwise: the great outdoors.
Cooking dinner one night, you hear a quiet meowing at your front door. You open the door to find an adorable cat perched on your doorstep seeking food, a home, human affection, or maybe all three.

I will admit, when I bought my first plant it was strictly for aesthetic purposes, to add some life to my room. But quickly my windowsill with only one little Golden Pothos became packed with many others—and suddenly my room was overflowing with lush foliage.
Tina Fey’s impressions of Sarah Palin may have defined the 2008 presidential election, and Amy Pohler’s impression of Hiliary Clinton brought comedy to the 2016 election. This year’s election feels different, with a little less room to joke.
I have been teaching European history at the University of Portland Salzburg Austria Center for more than 15 years and I find this report that a class by one of my colleagues was given over to an Antisemitic rant by a guest lecturer both shocking and totally out of character for the University of Portland as I have known it.
It began with classes transitioning to online platforms and assignments piling up. It worsened with moving back home and saying goodbye to friends. Staying up until two in the morning on most school nights became a regular occurrence, which led to staying in bed until the early afternoon. For junior Aishani Saha, online classes hurt not only her grades, but also her mental health.
Being in the dorms freshman year is key to creating lifelong friendships. After graduating high school, it is all that freshmen think about besides the upcoming academic year. New students have waited for move-in day since graduating high school. Due to the pandemic, many schools across the nation have postponed the start of school or have canceled all in-person classes to try to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Unfortunately, the class of 2024 will never get to experience dorm life as freshmen.
