The end of the school year means saying goodbye. Goodbye to the posters hung on the walls of our dorms, to the sun shining down on Sunken Garden, to the friends who are headed back home for the summer, to the quiet late night walks on The Bluff, to LMU. These film photos invite you to reminisce on how far you may have come this year, and to give you something to look at when you miss The Bluff this summer.

With graduation right around the corner, my friends are moving across the state and across the country, having either received exciting opportunities or setting out to chase them. I’m reminded of departing from friends during my childhood — I remember my uncertainty at the beginning of my college experience — and it’s the same sensation of the future being open and unknown.

I learned a lot from experiencing change — but in the last four years, I have learned how much you can gain from staying in one place, too.

Food is one of the most dynamic representations of one’s environment and the culinary scene surrounding LMU is no exception. There are so many different dishes and spots that have become student favorites and ones that are worth coming back to — even after graduating from LMU.

BLUFF: On April 25, 2026, the White House correspondents' dinner was shut down due to an armed shooter running in with the intent to assassinate the entire executive branch. With almost the entire Cabinet present, anyone could have been a target. Well, anyone except for a certain FBI director. “Administration officials (not including Mr. Patel): they are targets,” as detailed in the shooter’s manifesto. And, boy, Kash Patel is PI**ED.

Everything seems to be falling apart for little ol’ Kash. With substantial reports that he’s been drinking on the job, rumors swirling of his girlfriend holding hands with another man and now not even considered as a big enough threat to be the target of an assassination? The director of the FBI? He’s trying his worst!

How does the director of the FBI react to finding out he wasn’t seen as dangerous enough to be the target of an assassination attempt?
