NBA faces backlash from the Chinese government

“Fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong,” is a seven-word tweet that has caused one of the biggest controversies in National Basketball Association history since the implementation of the three-point line. This short tweet by the Houston Rockets’ General Manager, Daryl Morey, has caused the NBA world to explode. Millions to billions of dollars could be lost, countless jobs could be lost and the history of the league and possibly America could be altered forever. This article is going to be challenging for me to write, as I lack a political background, but it has shocked the sports world, and I have the relevant sports background.

Backpacks play an important, yet controversial role

Backpacks are everywhere. Everywhere except on the actual back of the person carrying said backpack. On and off campus I see the latest trends of how not to wear a backpack. By now we all know that one-strapping (i.e. carrying the backpack using one strap on only one shoulder) the backpack is the wrong way to go, if you want to keep both your balance and your posture. But two-strapping the backpack and then wearing it low on the back is also the wrong way to go.

Loughlin admissions scandal reveals double standard

We’re living in a time when obtaining a college degree has never been more valuable, and has also never been more expensive. The act of being admitted to the nation’s top universities has turned into a bloodbath between high school students from all across the nation. Millions of students nationwide are asking themselves the same question, “How can I make myself standout from my peers?” Being a recent high school graduate myself, I am fully aware of the competitive nature of my generation. Just a few months ago I was one of those students vying for a spot at one of the many elite institutions. However, in light of recent news headlines, it seems that high school seniors are not the only individuals competing for a spot at accredited universities; parents have inserted themselves in the competition by attempting to maximize their children’s chances of getting accepted. Currently, the nation awaits to hear the fate of actress Lori Loughlin and husband Mossimo Giannulli as they face charges for falsifying records in order to get their daughters, Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose, into the University of Southern California. In a nation becoming increasingly competitive over many different things, can one understand Loughlin’s rationale behind her actions, despite them being deemed morally and legally unjustifiable?

Summer, stars, swordfights, Shakespeare

There are a lot of outdoor activities that get students excited about an upcoming summer break — swimming, going to the beach, hiking and summery sports like volleyball and tennis. I’m definitely an odd one out when it comes to my favorite summer activity: watching Shakespeare under the stars. It doesn’t feel like summer has arrived yet if I haven’t found a local theatre troupe putting on one of the Bard’s plays in a park, field or open-air theater. Since I was taking classes here at Brandeis during the summer, I knew I had to make a trip out to Boston to see the Commonwealth Shakespeare Company’s performance on the Boston Common.

With recent graduates such as  Emily Bryson ’19 —  a nine-time All-American and four-time national champion — as well as the rest of last year’s seniors moving on from Brandeis, this year’s team has big shoes to fill.

At their first meet of the season, the Brandeis Judges competed against schools such as Wentworth Institute of Technology, Regis College, Lasell College and Wellesley College.
