Location: 100s Wing Gym Rank: #1 This bathroom has gone through a character arc. I still remember using it in my freshman year wondering as if I had just stumbled into the Ward 8 of high school restrooms. The lighting was off, the sinks were not working properly, and the soap dispensers were empty and far past their prime. However when I came back two years later I was astounded by the development that this bathroom had. It had been reformed into a respectable and usable bathroom, surpassing many of its peers. I truly believed that this bathroom was never going to amount to anything but here I was, in awe of its transformation.

Alternate language music gets more American ears on it everyday, especially in younger generations. To new listeners, I would say keep an open mind. I didn’t like either genre when I first started listening to them, it took me like a full year to really get into them. Now I’m near fluent in Spanish, and you don’t even have to learn the language, you can just look up a lyric video and use to romanization. Just make sure you’re saying the lyrics right, like for any other artist, junior Devin Bittencourt said.

Movies and biopics have always been sources for the public to learn about important issues or people. “Watchmen”, for example, brought the horrific Tulsa Race Massace into the public consciousness for the first time since the 1920’s.

Are movies and shows reliable sources for historical accuracy?
