Dear Louisiana, This has got to stop. The back and forth and the two and fro... it was all cute for a while. Trying to guess what the day would bring might have been fun, but we have had enough. Speaking as someone who relentlessly leaves no time to properly think about wardrobe before leaving the house, I am no longer amused by your inconsistency.

The best picture nomination for Black Panther (2018) has left me in a very ambivalent spot. It is a film I feel both does and does not deserve the nomination.

Happy Death Day (2017) did not need a sequel, though, it seems that everything that is semi-profitable needs a sequel nowadays. Yet, how does one make a sequel to a film that does not lend itself to continuation? That is precisely what I was thinking before seeing Happy Death Day 2U (2019). Apparently, the answer is to entirely shift genres all while practically making the same film again. Since both are oddly similar at their cores, and yet, altogether...

As Nicholls baseball opens the season against Southern Illinois on Feb. 15, it will be the beginning of senior Ethan Valdez’s last season as a Colonel. Since Valdez’s freshman year, he has grown both on and off the field. This year, Valdez managed to receive an all-conference first team honor, and Head Coach Seth Thibodeaux said that it is no coincidence that Ethan is successful. “Ethan is unselfish, competitive and a leader.
