OPINION: International mission on display with Holi event

OPINION: International mission on display with Holi event By Juan Antonio Molina Jr.Bridge Staff WriterPublished Tuesday, March 31, 2026 As a campus freshman, I’m constantly looking for fun events to attend. From the Spring 2026 cultural events like Lunar New Year to the Fall 2025 school-spirit events like Maroon Madness, there are several notables. Being involved in the community, alongside my fellow students, is important to me. This is why when I heard of the Holi event on campus, I made sure to check my schedule and invited friends to attend.

Opinion: Raving can serve as self-care 

Opinion: Raving can serve as self-care  By Sean JimenezAssociate EditorPublished Tuesday, March 31, 2026 When asked about my weekend plans, my usual response is, “I’m going to a rave.”  Some people look down on this as me being irresponsible and partying often, but I view raving as an underappreciated form of self-care. Raves offer a unique experience unlike any other. Electronic music genres range from French tech, hardstyle, hardcore and much more, but the unifying theme is fast-paced heavy beats that encourage ravers to dance. Sean Jimenez If you’re not moving, you’re not raving; this constant movement works as great exercise, a dopamine boost and a stress reliever.
