Give me (more of) a break!
As the Brandeis community returns from their week-long break, this editorial board can’t help but wonder, was it worth it? The Carrie Bradshaw tone aside, having a break in the middle of February can be a bit more trouble than it’s worth. Sure, we get another week off in April so there is something to […]
Striking a chord
Ok, it’s time for us to say it: We at the Hoot are glad that the Chiefs dynasty is over. For everyone that was hoping to see the dreaded “three-peat,” their hopes were dashed as the Eagles immediately seized a massive lead and never looked back. A 40-22 to win is not just defeating the […]

525,600 minutes
Well, it’s that time of year again, the end of the year. A few weeks from now, we will be saying goodbye to 2024 and hello to 2025. 2025 feels like a year from a futuristic science fiction movie, not a year that’s imminent. Nevertheless, here we are, almost a quarter of the way through […]
We’re all gonna die (unless we do something about it)
It’s no secret that climate change is a serious problem that is harming our society. As long as we have been alive, we have heard the horror stories of what could happen to Planet Earth if we don’t try to protect it.

Earnest election education for everyone
In less than two months, we will be deciding the next president of the United States. We’ll either be getting the first female president or we’ll get four more years of Trump (*cue the “Jaws” music). It shouldn’t be big news to all of you how big this election is. However, we at The Hoot […]
