Seven Reasons you Must Watch “The Office”

Written by Spencer Randolph on April 12, 2017. Posted in Arts & Entertainment

Nominated and winning multiple Emmy and Golden Globes awards, “The Office” is a documentary-style television show following a small paper company in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Under the direction of a clueless boss, the show makes fun of everyday life in an office setting. From office parties gone awry to plot and character development, the show has a sense of humor that’s offbeat and unique, which is why I loved it from the very start.

A Song About Torture? No Thanks

Written by Spencer Randolph on October 26, 2016. Posted in Arts & Entertainment

In the song, “Sucker for Pain,” there are five artists featured, rapping and singing. These artists are Ty Dolla Sign, Lil Wayne, Imagine Dragons, Wiz Khalifa and Logic. This song is a part of the album, “Suicide Squad,” which is also the title of a recent movie released in August. There is a strange and scary tune to this song that gave me an aversion to it from the moment I heard it. The idea that comes to mind when it comes on is, “Time to change the station.”

The foundation of Christianity is Jesus and his resurrection. With such a prominent moment in history documented through the holiday Easter, how did the bunny come about? The symbol behind this creature and its origin is linked back to a pre-Christian era and makes more sense than it appears.
