Underrated Resources for Centre Freshmen

Estimated Read Time: 4 minutes

by Olivia Barker When you first toured Centre, your tour guide probably rambled off a million different great resources Centre could offer you. If you’re anything like me, you probably forgot every last one the second you moved in. When you’re still adjusting to the academic rigor during your first year at Centre, it can […]

What’s the Best Bathroom on Campus?

Estimated Read Time: 3 minutes

by Adam West When you have to go, you have to go. It sucks when you have to go during class, but when you do you rush out of class and hope you don’t miss the important stuff. Whether it be number one, number two, nosebleeds, or anything else you need to get out or […]

Silence is a Choice and Our College Keeps Choosing it

Estimated Read Time: 7 minutes

by Angelli Perez In the past week, a video has been circulating around campus of a white female student using the N-word and shouting “get [them] out of my country,” “f*** black power,” and “we’re the supreme” in a shocking display of racism and white supremacy. However, for many students of color, myself included, it […]

Are There Too Many Clubs?

Estimated Read Time: 5 minutes

by Hadley O’Bryan I am a current senior. I was born in the summer of 2004, three years after 9/11 and three years before the release of the first iPhone. I was eight when the Sandy Hook shooting happened, and I hadn’t yet turned nine by the time I was watching the live manhunt for […]

Freshman’s First Frat: 2025

Estimated Read Time: 2 minutes

by Anonymous I decided I wanted to try something new and went out one weekend. I enjoy partying, but I’m of the opinion if you can’t enjoy something sober, you aren’t enjoying it at all. I’m a petite woman, so moving around in crowds can be daunting sometimes. When I showed up, the party was […]

Paywalling The Mini: A Crossword Conundrum

Estimated Read Time: 5 minutes

by Connor Parks I guess you could say I’m sort of a fanatic for the New York Times crossword. By the time you read this, my daily streak will have reached over 825 days, and I have no plans of stopping anytime soon. And what can I say? It’s a great way to entertain yourself […]

Mental Health Tips at Centre College

Estimated Read Time: 5 minutes

by Anonymous My first two years at Centre were hard, especially as someone struggling with my mental health. I was lonely, depressed, and it really affected me in my classes. I would skip class, not do my homework, and spend most of my time curled up in my bed thinking about how embarrassed I was […]

Estimated Read Time: 4 minutes

By Hallie Gleeson and Aelwen Iredale If a tour group passes by you, you might catch the guide mentioning Centre’s convocation policy.

Cowan Review: A Different Perspective

Estimated Read Time: 1 minute

by Leigh Wingfeld A lot of people are very critical of the Cowan dining hall. As an individual with food sensitivities, Cowan is the best dining hall I have experienced.
