Hey, remember in 8th grade when you thought a “straight play” just meant it wasn’t gay? Remember when you told your friend’s dad that?

They will be subject to society's beauty standards soon enoughby Kelly Tyra Co-Editor-in-Chief This summer, I bought a couple of cacti. I felt the need to nurture something but preferred an organism that could thrive on neglect just like its momma. As I happily forgot to water my prickly pals, some of my peers signed up for the big leagues and decided to have real human babies. Cool.
Fordham housing is only comparatively better as a Juniorby John Looby News Co-editor I have lived in pretty shit circumstances since I got to Fordham. We’ve got a beautiful campus here; the dormitories on the other hand leave much to be desired. My first year here I lived in the anti-luxury that is the basement of Jogues; two years later that hell hole still leaves scars on my very soul. My second year I took one rung upward the ladder of Fordham squalor into the basement of Finlay. While there may not have been cockroaches I did have the pleasure of being downwind from several literal piles of trash, which meant that trying to air the room out was basically an exercise in futility. Now a junior I’ve finally moved onward and upward into Walsh. I mean upward only in the most literal fashion I’m on the tenth floor, living here is still pretty fucking shitty.
Maybe see the film instead of reading the review?by Briana Scalia Staff Moviegoer Critics cannot always be right; just because their career involves reviewing movies does not validate their opinions. However, the casual moviegoer usually bears a critic’s thoughts in mind, and a film buff might enjoy discussing said thoughts with their friends. More often than not, the opinion of the critics does not differ too drastically from those of the fans, with a few expected exceptions. While reviews are not always the recipe for a film’s success, it bears enough weight on the average moviegoer that films boast about positive critic scores, going so far as to display Rotten Tomatoes’ “fresh” rating on their blu ray covers. However, this past summer movie season strayed far from the norm. While many critics would agree that this past season was not an achievement for film, box office numbers, and therefore fans, would highly disagree. Therein lies the question of what fans value in a movie versus what critics deem more important.
Two staff members take a stand/seatWe've invited two of our staff writers to discuss what they think of Colin Kaepernick's decision to sit during the national anthem at recent 49ers games, and the impact it's had on football and the media at large.
Wrestling is cool and I don't care what you thinkby Scott Saffran Staff John Cena Around a better part of a month ago, John Cena, the face of the WWE and wrestling in the United States, told a very compelling anecdote in the ring, as part of a “promo” segment. Cena spoke of his mass-appeal success and crossover breakthrough in the past several years as part of movies Trainwreck and Sisters and hosting the Espys and the Teen Choice Awards. Too often, Cena remarked, has he been asked by reporters and talk show hosts when he will leave the wacky world of wrestling now that he’s mainstream. Though used as part of a storyline to hype a feud prior to an important pay-per-view event, the notion of wrestling apart from mainstream culture is a reality many pro wrestling supporters have come to accept over the past few decades.

And I'm just gonna watch for seven seasons don't mind meby Kyle Zarif Staff Baking Connoisseur OK so for reasons that may soon become apparent, I feel the need to preface this article with two statements. 1. If you are looking for an objective take on the merits of the GBBO, then you can fuck right off because I cackle in the face of objectivity. My opinion on this show is rooted in a very specific experience of it. 2. I would normally consider myself a fairly rational person. I can usually balance my priorities and like to think I have a fair idea of what’s important in my life. This is how I would describe myself under normal circumstances...but this week presented me with one of the largest challenges to my sanity and sense of self that I have thus far encountered. This week, my frenemy informed me, in her greatest act of sabotage yet, that the Great British Bake Off had returned for a 7th season.
