Column: covering sports from the backburner in a pandemic

It was Nov. 29, 2020, and the Spartans were gearing up to play the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. I was on gamer duty, sick to my stomach as I tried my best to finish the article before the final buzzer sounded like my editor had wanted. Gamers always had to go up immediately, that was the No. 1 rule. However, in that same moment that I felt sick to my stomach, I felt most alive.

Column: My personal mental health journey during the pandemic

I recognize that I was extremely fortunate to have the friends and family that I have because I would not be writing this article without them. This has made me realize that the connections that we have on a personal level need to be prioritized, and that we need to be diligent in checking up with one another, especially now.

My predictions for the 63rd Grammy Awards

Anyone who is close to me knows that music is very important to me. There is seldom a moment where I exist in silence — I am always filling that void with music. I play music while I’m in class, while I’m transcribing audio for work and when I’m just sitting around, doing nothing.  So, the Grammy Awards are kind of a big deal to me.
