Dear Editor:

When “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” arrived on Netflix in 2018 (the first in the series), it was deemed a teenage rom-com hit by critics and audiences alike, both for its ingenious hook of a premise involving true love found within a fake relationship, and for a powerhouse performance f…

Since the legislative session began on Feb. 10, more than 700 bills have been introduced over the two chambers of the legislature. They range on a variety of topics, such as selling alcohol earlier on Sundays to eliminating the requirement that schools be closed on election days, as well as …

February is National Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month. We all know those first loves can feel amazing, but for many college students — statistically one in three — those first encounters turn into abusive and often violent relationships. 

As we arrive into a new year still burdened by the ongoing pandemic, it seems a miracle that the annual Park City film festival managed to have such a successful transition to a virtual experience. Under its new director, Tabitha Jackson, the program was packed with hidden gems that should b…

This year’s Big 12/SEC Challenge game included a pair of four-loss teams facing off in the WVU Coliseum, which for the first time this season allowed a limited number of fans in the stands.

Let’s face it, not all of us are going to be the “main character,” and that’s okay. Main character culture has ruined many of our perspectives on things, especially on what our college experience should look like.

When it was announced midway through March 2020 that the highly anticipated hit show “Euphoria” had paused production due to the coronavirus and wasn't expected to return until 2021, fans were admittedly crushed. The itch for new episodes grew even stronger when Zendaya took home the Emmy th…

It’s a risky move from director Doug Liman and writer Steven Knight to release a film so heavily involved with the current pandemic to start 2021. Not just because it offers the very opposite of escapism, but for fear that it has anything truly valuable to say given our position still tight …

This may only be my second semester on campus, but I can tell when the University makes new rules or fails to change policies that don't sit well with students, especially for those either living on campus or in the Morgantown area.

In an unprecedented year of constant anxiety and new challenges, many of us searched for normalcy in any place we could find it, and for film lovers, we were blessed with an impressive amount of great cinema to escape with. The resilience of the human spirit to make art was not lost in the m…

With a semester of online classes, many of us have lost the simple joy of strolling through campus with earbuds blaring, and full-blown concerts still feel like an unrealistic daydream. However, that didn’t stop many of our bedrooms from becoming personal dance floors, and music revealed thi…

Megan Thee Stallion always had to fight to prove herself, whether that be in the male-dominated XXL 2019 Freshman Class, the court case against her former record label 1501 Certified Entertainment who she claimed tried to stop the release of her EP “Suga” or the recent Tory Lanez incident wh…

Writer and director Chirstopher Landon has been entwined with the horror genre ever since the late 2000s with “Disturbia,” his tween thriller take on Hitchock’s “Rear Window,” but it wasn’t until breakout hit “Happy Death Day” that his distinctive comedic edge and knack for making horror inf…

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, lead star of Netflix’s “The Queen’s Gambit,” Anya Taylor-Joy, said her initial reaction when writer and director Scott Frank mentioned the part and she read Walter Tevis’ novel of the same name: “I’m not a runner, but I ran to that meeting.”

Ariana Grande is certainly no stranger to the spotlight as her last two albums shattered record after record as she navigated her way through personal trauma in master strokes.

With classes primarily held online and many students required to share their screen, there are some things that you wouldn’t think needed to be reminded to college students. But here we are, almost at the end of the semester, and it seems like students are forgetting basic manners.

What makes a great anthology isn’t just the consistency of each individual tale, but the way in which each segment works as a whole, and few anthologies find that synergy.

A lawsuit filed earlier this week alleges questionable actions conducted by the WVU Board of Governors, and the fact that this is even happening is beyond tone-deaf.

I am ashamed.

Instead of emails, there were telegrams. Instead of phone calls, there were written proofs of support. Instead of lobbying efforts, there were “living petitions.”

People all around the world are being affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. While staying inside seems like a dream to some, others are negatively affected with the increase in job loss and financial insecurity. Many large corporations are helping in any way that seems to fit their business, bu…

Dear West Virginia University family,

Hey, thanks for reading!

Over the last few years I’ve watched as multiple people walking or biking have been mamed or killed by people driving motor vehicles. Our dear friends Charlie Shaffer, Divanté Coles, and Robin Ames have been hit while riding; WVU students Leah Berhanu and Sara Queen have been hit walking to …

It’s 2020, and the census is upon us. This is a time where we get to look at the results and see what has happened in the last decade with regard to population. While the country as a whole is certain to see a population increase, I am more concerned as to what is going on within the borders…

In a unanimous vote last Tuesday, Morgantown City Council became the first municipality in West Virginia to effectively decriminalize possession.
