Roach: It’s cool to care
Roach: It’s cool to care
Fiona Roach, Senior Staffer • June 11, 2025

For most of my life, I was afraid to be caught caring. I tried too hard in school, obsessed over my favorite celebrities, and knew too much about current events. In high school, I was...

Kuznikov: It’s okay to take a break!
Selena Kuznikov, Senior Staffer • June 11, 2025

The Daily isn’t a place where you’re allowed to take a break. This was the general sentiment I heard from people coming into my freshman year: you’ll stay up until 6 a.m. to lay...

Li: The only way to find out… is to f*ck around
Anita Li, Senior Staffer • June 11, 2025

Markus: On the importance of third spaces and communities
Nicole, Markus • June 11, 2025

You may have heard the advice to have three spaces: one for work, one for home, and one for community. At the beginning of college, I felt like I only had one, really huge space: I...

Acharya: An ode to the fallen Dum-Dums™ lollipops
Pavan Acharya, Senior Staffer • June 11, 2025

I have a confession to make.  From late 2021 through the spring of 2023 (and including a brief stint in the spring of 2024), I consumed hundreds of Dum-Dums™ lollipops from The...

Kim: Piecing together my time at The Daily

Tyler: Vienna waits for you
Shannon Tyler, Senior Staffer • June 11, 2025

Slow down, you’re doing fine. It’s hard to believe those Billy Joel words to be true. I mean what would he know about being a college student trying to get a job in this economy?  Although...

Giangiulio: Celebrating Discomfort
Giangiulio: Celebrating Discomfort
Davis Giangiulio, Senior Staffer • June 11, 2025

Letter from the Editors: Being Told ‘No’
Avani Kalra and Jacob Wendler June 11, 2025

Peeler: The people make the paper
Kara Peeler, Senior Staffer • June 11, 2025

Lee: How can I do the same?
Ashley Lee, Senior Staffer • June 11, 2025

Why Northwestern? When people ask me this question, I think back to the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. My mom asked me if I wanted to watch “Spotlight,” a...

Bechky: Take the time to leave the newsroom
Aviva Bechky, Senior Staffer • June 11, 2025

I spent much of my first two years of college in a windowless room on the third floor of the Norris University Center, where The Daily’s newsroom meets. There, I interviewed sources...

Saul Pink, Senior Staffer • June 11, 2025

Hwang: Lessons from the most productive Daily staffer of all time
Scott Hwang, Senior Staffer • June 11, 2025

I didn’t plan it this way, but I’ve spent most of my time at The Daily writing about numbers. So, true to form, I’ll start there. I’ve been involved in the paper for nine...
