A Deep Dive into Rey Skywalker's Character Arc

By Anthony Herring / April 21, 2022

The Star Wars sequel trilogy is a major point of contention for many people myself included. I can go on and on about the many problems littered throughout: abysmal world building, clumsy storylines, the imaginary tug-of-war between J.J. Abrams and Rian Johnson, etc. Thankfully, this article will not dwell on those things. Instead I am going to center my attention on the focal point of this trilogy—Rey Skywalker. While I have great issues with how Rey’s family was handled, I find her overall arc to be fascinating, especially when I consider the elements of it that actually work.

GRUBB: What team can you be a fan of?

By Nate Grubb / April 21, 2022

I don’t think that your location should dictate the team you root for. Just because you were born in, let’s say, Georgia, doesn’t mean you should be forced to root for the Braves, Hawks and Falcons. I think if you develop an emotional connection with a team and decide to stay loyal to that team, then it should be fine to root for them.

Symphony of Sustainability: Cope Environmental Center recognized as Indiana’s only certified Living Building

By Sarah Olsen / April 20, 2022

With the impact of climate change growing, some companies see it imperative to change the design and construction of buildings, with the goal of giving back to the environment as much as they take. However, this does not come without challenges, as every office, home and store would have to maintain net-zero energy and water levels. The materials used to make these structures would have to be ecologically friendly and properly disposed of. Then, they must perform consistently. 

Show Off your Love for Dogs With the Dog Mom Sweatshirt

April 20, 2022

Sometimes the weather gets cold but the dogs still need to go outside for walks, bathroom breaks, or just to socialize with other dogs. You might not have a thick coat of fur to keep you warm, but you should be able to grab a sweatshirt and head out into the cold. But what if your sweatshirt could do more than just keep you warm?
