At Syracuse University, I write and edit for Jerk Magazine, a distinctive campus publication that aims to increase student knowledge and promote activism. The fresh and often humorous style of Jerk allows me to broaden my writing topics and share my opinions on various issues.

“Predator and Prey Relationship Claws Its Way Into College Life” (11/15/18)

College parties and the jungle, two environments you typically only hear associated with one another when a social chair is fresh out of mixer themes. However, what if we don’t need to don artificial leaves and tacky cheetah print to fully experience the wild and the danger that comes along with it?

“Beto’s Loss May Account for a Long-Term Win for Texas” (11/7/18)

Nothing, not even the results of the Senate election, can overshadow how much of an impact Beto O’Rourke had and will continue to have. Texans were much more engaged in this election, particularly young, newly-registered voters.

“How to Convince Your Parents You’re Not Failing Out of Life” (10/26/18)

It’s that time of year, everyone.

On Thursday, Post Malone and Swae Lee released their highly-anticipated collaboration, “Sunflower.” The song is set to appear on the soundtrack for the upcoming movie, Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse.

“Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande Call it Quits” (10/16/18)

Everyone’s favorite (or least favorite) power couple, Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande, has split up, and we’re just as shocked as you are.

“What Your Cliché Laptop Stickers Say About You” (10/7/18)

Oh, laptop stickers. The ultimate form of self-expression in college, because nothing says “I’m in a downward spiral” like a strategically placed sticker of a dog with sunglasses. Need help interpreting? Let us give you a hand…

“Facetuned Fetus Breaks Internet” (10/1/18)

Khloe, the youngest of the Kardashian sisters, decided to wild out last week and Facetuned her newborn baby, True. In other words, the simulation is glitching.

“DJ’s is Coming For Your Neck (and Your Wallet)” (9/21/18)
