A Night of Mystery

2022-2023

*Submitted to The Lions' Log anonymously* I’ll be the first to admit it, I'm not a party person. As much as I've tried to convince myself otherwise or as much as alcohol has made me do wild, wild things I have never been and will never be a “partier.” I mostly conform to the nerdy type of person who loves, and I mean loves, going to Staples and bookstores.

15 Songs to Lift Your Spirits During the Pandemic

Culture, Discoveries

By Pier-Antoine Girard My personal list of songs that are guaranteed to get you going while stuck at home. 15). Supertramp, “The Logical Song” Thank you, John Helliwell, for the saxophone solo! 14). The Police, “Don’t Stand So Close To Me” A great song with amazing vocals and a title that applies perfectly to the current context. 13). Alphaville, “Forever Young” A song about eternal youth that does not necessarily make one want to dance their shoes off, but this is for people who think they are wasting the best time of their lives due to the pandemic,…
