It was a sweltering night. My mom’s car’s AC was broken. The only thing that kept me from turning back was the hope and promise of orange chicken at T. Jins. Medium-sized chicken pieces with orange glaze perked up my taste buds. Not only was it fried goodness, the orange-flavored […]

Art or Math?
“We are going to Houston tonight! Pack your bags!” That is the first sentence my dad said when he came home from work. At first I thought he was joking because who would drive to Houston at 9 p.m. after a long day of work, regardless if it’s summer vacation […]
America’s Unity
“A house divided against itself cannot stand,” said Abraham Lincoln when he talked about the sectionalism that separated the North and South. But that quote still applies everywhere. There are so many different issues in our nation because we all are not on the same page. We are still arguing […]
5 Minutes Left
8:20. 5 minutes left. I step out into the warm sun. A barren parking lot greets me. When the sky was just a single degree darker, the lot was swarming with students. Not anymore. I pull the handle for a routine check. It’s locked. Good. Now no mysterious parking-lot burglars […]
Don’t Forget These Aggies
Do not forget the 2021-2022 Texas A&M Aggies men’s basketball team. Mere hours ago, the team was moments away from an NIT title. It was poetic justice for a group many thought got hosed, snubbed, screwed, and other words not fit for print by the NCAA Tournament selection committee. Even […]

Christmas in Fallujah: A Holiday Dose of Protest Music
Christmas music is arguably the most wonderful part of the most wonderful time of the year. The season is home to the classic tunes of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Bing Crosby, centuries-old hymns and carols, and never-ending and constantly overplayed sounds of Mariah Carey and Wham! But the holiday […]
A call for change, the Indian farmer protests
On February 1, 2021 the internet was, yet again, divided. This time it was over singer and businesswoman Rihanna’s tweet in support of the Indian farmer protests. Following the internet breaking tweet many more celebrities voiced their support. For many this was the first time these protests were mentioned but […]
A poision is spreading– and it’s going by the name “patriotism”
The year that will live in infamy. I don’t know about you, but I was hoping that after the craziness the world has endured, we could all agree to bring in the new year with peaceful resolutions and maybe some champagne-popping with close friends. I could not have been more […]
The Roar Reviews: A Face Mask
by Ian Curtis, staff reporter It’s no secret that Covid-19 has brought many changes to how we live, work, and survive. But one of the most visible is the widespread use of face masks to prevent the spread of the virus, especially from people who may not be aware that […]
