While libraries still manage to fulfill readers’ needs, the rise in digital e-books has grown significantly within the last few years.

There is no doubt that all paper books will eventually go digital based on current technology. Most publishers have already made that transition within the last few years. The main benefit of an e-book is that they are available minutes after purchasing or downloading them while remaining portable at all times.

Beyoncé Is Not the supreme being published on November 18, 2020 by Xavia Williams

The hashtag has been shared by celebrities with no real proof of active support, but of course, when Beyoncé does not say something immediately, it becomes a problem.

Gen Z has made a point that if they’re going to support a celebrity in any role, they would have to make their positions on specific topics known. Very much like a politician

While I am a fan of making sure people we put in power use their platform for good, this is getting way out of hand. Celebrities are not politicians. So why treat them like they are?

Is Hustle Culture Harmful or Helpful?
Published on November 18, 2020 by Emily Christensen

Hustle culture is an influential part of American culture. Many people feel like they can never say no, putting their professional work above their mental health. “Hustle culture sets up unsustainable expectations,” said John Boitnott, a journalist at Entrepreneur

Focusing solely on work is stressed heavily in modern culture; between social media posts telling viewers to ‘hustle 24/7’. College students are always discussing their business ventures; people are challenged to put their professional lives above all else. This toxic culture harms the mental health of individuals, especially those in college.

Maybe Social Media Is not So Toxic After All?
Published on November 18, 2020 by Claire McCabe

It is said that social media is “toxic” and “negative.” People tend to paint their lives in a pretty picture or aim for perfection on social media pressuring users to put their best selves on social media platforms.

Nowadays, iPhone users can even receive a daily report on how much screen time one had for that day. Ninety percent of college students use social networks, according to a study conducted by Mats University.

Florida’s tourism is changing published on November 18, 2020 by Sophie Garza

Florida’s economy is based on tourism with its many beaches, theme parks, cruise ships, sports arenas and resort hotels; however, COVID-19 has caused many businesses to suffer or shut down.

Florida’s tourism is changing due to COVID-19. It is affecting the hotel and airline industry as well. COVID-19 is also affecting when and how people go to the beach.

Students share their concerns on swimming in the ocean after Mark Bowden from California was bitten in the leg by a shark during his recent vacation in South Beach.

Bowden was body surfing near 10th street when he was bitten in the leg by a shark. He did not know what happened at first, but he knew something was wrong and needed to make it to shore. Bowden said the bite felt like a punch in the leg.

Whenever a shark bite happens, the crowds on the beach lessen.

Social Media with no Pressure published on November 18, 2020 by Ana Caovilla ( )

Twelv, a new social media platform, was recently launched and introduced to the public, gaining popularity instantly among social media users around the world.

The platform allows the user only to post 12 pictures and connect with people close to them. The platform’s main idea is to get rid of “likes” and followers’ measurements, making the platform free of social pressure.

“Twelv is growing fast,” said David Sarkissov, co-founder of Twelv. “It was created out of an attempt to take the pressure off social media and create a community in which there is no judgment, ads or exploitation of the customers.”

Gaslighting At Its Finest published on November 11, 2020 by Gretchen Lembcke Pena ( )

Recently, Glee star Blake Jenner posted an “apology” on Instagram a year after ex- wife Melissa Benoist publicly spoke about her domestic violence experience.

Benoist posted a video on Instagram in November of last year, admitting to having experienced domestic violence first-hand from a former partner. Throughout the video, she kept their identity anonymous. Benoist went into as much detail as she could, considering her past trauma. She had to reject roles with male costars due to jealousy, terminated friendships with men and had a phone thrown at her face, which permanently damaged her eyesight.

Stranded At Home published on November 11, 2020 by Ana Caovilla ( )

As the pandemic started, government officials in the U.S had to take precautions to slow down the spread of the virus and protect their people by
establishing a travel ban on countries like Brazil. The ban is still in effect, and students are no exception, leaving them stranded and wondering when they will be able to go back to college.

When the pandemic broke out, multiple Brazilian students returned home to Brazil to be with their families, but little did they know, they would not be able to return to the U.S. so fast. This travel ban has been the cause of stress among those students, as there is still no preview of when the U.S. will open again to Brazilians.
