When visiting the Rhody Cigar website, I clicked on my name, which was attached to many articles at this point. After clicking on the fourth page, I was met with an article I had completely forgotten about, which I wrote three years ago. To say I wrote it is a stretch. I had no knowledge…
One of the most common questions asked of graduating seniors, retiring workers or generally people that their peers deem as old is always, “What advice do you have for those younger than you?” The best advice I can give to any nervous freshman looking to get involved in that club or team is to wait…
If you had told me I’d be the arts & culture editor of The Good Five Cent Cigar two years ago, I’d be very confused. And no, not just because at that point, the section was titled “entertainment” – because as a sports media student, I never thought I’d consider working outside of that field….

World Wrestling Entertainment’s “WrestleMania 41,” the company’s annual two-night extravaganza, concluded this weekend, falling short of its anticipated hype. The event struggled to recapture the magic of its predecessor, “WrestleMania 40,” which I consider to be one of the best in history, highlighted by Cody Rhodes’ emotional WWE Championship victory honoring his father, Dusty Rhodes….

These resourceful omnivores can be seen prancing around campus and jumping tree to tree. Unlike some other woodland creatures, squirrels can thrive in suburbia. If you ask one, I’m sure…
