We need bees. How else would the Bee Movie make sense? How else would we have honey? How would we have flowers? The truth is bees are super cool, and we should all feel ashamed that our habits are ruining their environment. We will find you if you dare use this newspaper to kill a bumblebee.

The Chicago Cubs stand a real chance to win the World Series this year. Regardless of your favorite baseball team, we can all agree that if any team deserves it, the Cubs do.

Temporary tats are the best, most economically feasible way to see if a permanent commitment would suit you. Metallic gold and silver designs have recently become super popular, a la Beyoncé.

Are we the only people who feel bad about using the online book request feature from the library? Like, we do pay for it with our hefty tuition bills, but we feel bad sending someone to find a book for us just because we don’t understand the Library of Congress classification system. Sorry, kind Davis people. We love you.
