Over spring break, I convinced a friend to tag along for a “Ready or Not 2” screening. I knew nothing about the movie — I still haven’t even seen the first one — but the trailers interested me, and I was due for a trip to the theater.The audience filled less than half of our showing, which I simultaneously questioned and celebrated.

This time last year, I sat down with Culture Editor Stella Powers and proclaimed that I wanted to rank my favorite redheads in the media, in honor of the beloved holiday that was quickly approaching: Green Beer Day.At the time, I only intended to write one. However, after not much convincing from the Culture section, I decided to open my laptop again and rank my least favorite redheads in media from least to most hated.
It’s the time of year again, when four-leaf clovers, leprechauns and green beverages fill the streets of Oxford.

While the main purpose of this trip was to learn more about running a newspaper and how we can improve, I would be lying if I said I hadn’t planned to spend most of my time exploring the city. One of the adventures we unanimously agreed on was to see a show, because how could you go to New York and not?

Where Jimmy John’s once stood now sits a Mediterranean and Greek-style restaurant: Tavo Mediterranean Grill. Inside, the interior remains the same; The floors are still checkered, the booths are still linear and the food-making assembly line is still present.
