It's FINALLY Basketball Season

You know that feeling you get when you see a puppy? Or when you see a cute little kid? Or how about the feeling you get when you get really good news? Well…I have NEWS FOR YOU! It is FINALLY basketball season!

I feel like most people do not understand the struggle of going to a school without a football team. At Marquette, we only have one major sport. It is basketball. So when basketball season rolls around I, like many of you, feel like a kid in the candy store!

I mean who doesn't love food, friends, a winning team and MARQUETTE BASKETBALL?!

With the exhibition game on Monday, November 9, and the first game on Friday, November 13, I am confident in saying I will not be too focused on school this week… Why? BECAUSE IT IS BASKETBALL SEASON!

So let’s think about the upcoming season. We have six returning players, and a roster of 14 guys. This season we have one of the Big-East's best recruiting classes. The new kids on the block: Henry Ellenson, Sacar Anim, Traci Carter, Hannif Cheatham, Christian Haffner, Matt Held, Cam Marotta, and Andrew Rowsey. The old guys: Sandy Cohen, Wally Ellenson, Luke Fischer, Jajuan Johnson, Michael Mache, and Duane Wilson. Of these 14 guys, we have a very young team with nine underclassmen. With a very young team, there is room to be nervous. However, because of our new recruits and our returning players, I think we are going to have a FANTASTIC year!

Along with having a very optimistic outlook on this upcoming season, there are many other reasons to be excited about Monday!

First and foremost, being at the Bradley center…watching the pre-game video, and chanting “We are Marquette” for the first time this season, is single-handedly going to be one of the best feelings ever. Maybe even better than seeing those cute little puppy videos.

Also, you get to watch sports, hang out with friends, and cough, cough, watch the dance team. Not biased at all. But the point is: BASKETBALL SEASON IS HERE!

I have never been in the student section because I am out on the court, but the student section pumps me up! Watching the student section after a winning game is crazy. I'm sure most of you know the feeling I am talking about. It is an awesome feeling being about the Marquette community, seeing confetti flying and people cheering during Marquette basketball games.

WE ARE MARQUETTE! Get ready... Let's have a great upcoming season!

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
