Opinion | You can’t claim voter fraud just because you’re losing
Trump’s allegations are a last-ditch attempt to undermine democracy. I can’t imagine taking anyone less seriously.
Opinion | Politicians are simply opportunists
We cannot allow politicians to exploit circumstances. The possibility for radical change begins in January 2021.
Opinion | Kamala Harris’ election restores some faith
Vice President-elect Kamala Harris embodies many firsts for America: first female, Black and South Asian vice president.
Opinion | Can you be friends with a Trump supporter?
In short, probably. But I just can’t do it.
Opinion | Tech giants have their work cut out for them
Constantly staring at our screens, social media contradicts itself in that we feel more alone and isolated the longer we use it.
Opinion | America has always been burning
America is burning. It has been for a while, long before the pandemic granted us time and isolated space to reflect on the severity of it.
Opinion | ‘Indian Matchmaking’ exposes realities of arranged marriage
I can’t say if you should try matchmaking. What I can say, however, is that matchmaking is an option.
Opinion | Chapman is too crowded and we’re not prepared for it

Opinion | I’m tired of reading the news
Politics truly exhaust me. So much so that I actively avoid the news. But I also feel a lot of guilt when I don’t know what’s going on in the world.
Opinion | Chapman doesn’t care about people of color
Kanye West once said, “George Bush doesn’t care about black people.” I can’t help but think this is similar to the relationship between Chapman and its students of color.
