No Way Out of the Snow

On Jan. 25, I watched from my window as mounds of snow began to accumulate all over campus and visibility lowered to a cloudy white haze. With classes canceled for the next day, this was a prime day to catch up with friends, binge watch the show you’ve been meaning to start, or grab whatever […]

There is a Debt Crisis, and it is Our Responsibility

Our current national debt is $38.6 trillion dollars. That number is enough to make the Elon Musks, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerbergs of the world wince. You still may be asking yourself, why does this matter to me? I am in college and I do not have any life plans figured out yet. You also […]

ChatGPT’s Birthday Celebration: Is it a Bad Look for the Business School? 

On Dec. 1, 2025, I woke up to see the flyer for a birthday celebration for the generative artificial intelligence platform ChatGPT hosted by the Ryan Business School.

As a senior finance major, I had to take an Assessment of Learning exam and the Senior Assessment Exam as a part of my Finance Capstone.

Inishkea

May the angels light our way tonighton such a desolate island. Where sealsswim up the harbor mouth, birds take flight,and sheep roam in octaves on green fields.Boats offshore watch not us, but wavesthat slap their sterns in a prolonged rock.We’re left to the hills and stones, and cavesthat fall darker and deeper than the loch.No […]

Leaving

“I’ll text you,” you say as you leave.But we both know you might not. The text thread is on borrowed time,And it may be a miracle that you showed upin the first place. The expiration date has passed,But then you show up again,And it’s like everything is new again. So, you may or may not […]

A Dark Lord

Immured in a darkling dungeon, you see the sun setting into night beyond the windowsill, which is sealed by a rusting gridiron. Clinging to the flaking bars, you bruise your knuckles as you strike the iron, desperate to capture a single ray, a single photon of light. A great hook of hot steel wraps around […]

Shoes of the NBA

At this point, professional basketball has become just as much about business as it is about athletic excellence. However, few ventures display that better than the empire of player-started basketball shoe lines. Among the most successful are Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry. While each line differently depicts each player’s […]
