Just this past weekend, the marching band and the psychology department hosted an Out of Darkness Walk. The walk was put together through the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) to encourage the discussion of how to prevent suicide and to raise funds to get more resources on Olivet colleges campus to keep suicide from happening. Due to the skies opening up, most of the festivities were moved inside of Upton gym. The morning started off with a bunch of booths

Bandcamp heavy weight Will Toledo AKA Car Seat Headrest is back following up 2016’s acclaimed Teens of Denial, not with a brand new collection of songs but instead with a rerecording of his cult followed lo fi classic Twin Fantasy seven years after its initial release.

Hey OC! If you didn’t know, I have been getting a lot of projects for school. A week or so ago, I made a post on group projects offering some tips to help make them more enjoyable for everyone, but I want to expand on a topic that I think is an important. Time management is something that is needed in day to day life. For example, before going to class, there is a lot that needs to happen beforehand. One needs to get up to their alarm, get ready for the day, grab somethin

With the school year coming to an end, we college students tend to have a lot that piles up on our plate. Whether it is a bunch of group assignments, test, or projects, they start flowing in pretty fast. So, I thought this would be a good opportunity to put out a few suggestions to just keep in mind. 1.

When the first single for this album dropped I remember sitting on my couch laying around from a hospital visit thinking how tired I was from dealing with doctors and health procedures and damn dirty needles, so my first thought of seeing a new Jack White album was more along the terms of “oh neat” rather than the overly inflated “EVERYBODY SHUT UP, OUR LORD AND SAVOIR OF MODERN MUSIC HAS SOMETHING TO SAY!” that I typically give to artist I just so happen to enjoy.

How’s it hanging Olivet?! Last year when I was a freshman, I gave out some freshman tips, so I thought it would be cool to do a sophomore tips post, because I have learned more over the course of being here at Olivet!

There’s a lot of controversial albums in the world; Death Magnetic by Metallica, Straight Outta Compton by N.W.A., Nevermind the Bollocks by The Sex Pistols. But they all pale in comparison to Chinese Democracy. An album of Dr. Pepper promotions, crazy chicken men, and Martin Luther King Jr. recordings. Beginning in 1997 but not being released until 2008, Chinese Democracy features Axl Rose as the sole founding member to return from their previous release The Spaghetti Incide
