“The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” review

The Angler

I recently watched “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie,” and although I had heard some negative things going in, I was optimistic as I entered the theatre.

The Angler

We often see and hear people complaining about their jobs, and that’s not without reason. Work culture has become a pretty prominent staple in recent years, and working multiple jobs has become the norm for many. People who work one or more jobs often complain about them, although I can’t act like I am not...

It’s “Beyond My Wildest Dreams” to invite you to “Be Our Guest” in the musical filled weekend before we hunker down for finals. Lake Sumter State College and South Lake High School want you to be “part of that world” and to “chill like a villain” at their musicals.

World peace: Why it still matters (and why it starts with us)

The Angler

Let’s be honest, when most college students hear “world peace,” it can sound like one of those big, unrealistic ideas people talk about in speeches, but never actually see.

Crickets can bark

The Angler

It’s usually quiet right before you give up. Not dramatic. Not loud. Just quiet. The kind of quiet where you’re sitting alone after class, staring at an assignment you don’t fully understand, or lying awake at night thinking about everything you still have to figure out.
