Recently I was going through my to-do list, and there were so many competing priorities that I started to feel anxious about how to get it all done, and in the throes of anxiety, I gave up. I succumbed to the stress and became a permanent attachment to the couch. With a blanket wrapped over my head, I stuffed my face with Cheetos and binge-watched Netflix. Netflix asked, are you still watching? Yes, Netflix, let’s not kid ourselves; I’m in it for the long haul. My phone rang,

The most graphic PSA (public service announcement) video I’ve seen in a long time is the recent ‘back to school’ ad from the Sandy Hook Promise organization. The ad plays like your typical retail back-to-school promotion, with young students showing off their new school supplies, but then turns into a realistic school shooting situation. It contrasts the lighthearted tone of a TV commercial with the reality of gun violence in schools, and it’s really scary how it’s portrayed.

It’s October, and it might feel like this year’s Academy Awards are still a world away, but in reality, this tedious yearly ceremony is only a little over four months from now. To the average person, the Academy Awards are of little interest, aside from providing an opportunity to gloat when your favorite movie wins. Nonetheless, the Oscars are a big deal for the industry as a whole, and so it’s worth speculating who the 2020 nominees might be. The nomination process for Best

In this day and age, politics has become a complex and, in some cases, corrupt system. Parties are more divided, various topics of debate more intense. Gun control is one of these intense topics and, quite frankly, in the media it has become a complicated war between those who support the Second Amendment and those who would rather ban guns all together. The Second Amendment was put in place to protect citizens from an over-reaching government. If we as citizens have no way

The new look for MHCC’s Student Services HUB | Maysee Thao, The Advocate Months ago, one college’s construction team set forth on a mission that would forever change the student experience… Returning MHCC students may recall the dark ages of trotting up and down stairs between offices, more than a few times. But trot no longer: The Student Hub is complete and you can now find most vital student services in one convenient location. In Room 2253 – marked by the large Student Se

Enrolling in college can be a tumultuous task. Between taking the college placement test, securing financial aid, and choosing classes, it’s easy to get lost in the vortex of registration. Beyond this, there remains the monumental goal of completing your education. In light of this, there are programs on the Mt. Hood campus dedicated to guiding students through the quest called higher education. One such program is TRIO SSS (Student Support Services). TRIO endeavors to aid s

Zarah Escutia the advocate As a college student, it can be difficult to find the time to eat a real meal. Trying to manage a busy schedule, the cost of housing, transportation, and tuition can take a toll on our eating habits. Aside from finding the time to eat, many college students also face food insecurity due to their poor financial state. According to Hunger on Campus (a report by studentsagainsthunger.org) 50 percent of community college students and 47 percent of four-

Earlier this month, MHCC’s student government team attended the Oregon Community College Student Leadership and Activities Fall Conference, and they brought home a trophy. Hosted by the Oregon Student Leaders and Activities Professionals each September, the “Battle of the Campuses” challenges student leadership from different schools to think of ways to connect and engage with students on campus.

Everyone’s favorite clown is back in action this September, eating children and terrorizing the quaint little town of Derry, Maine. Web Graphic Directed by Andrés Muschietti, “IT Chapter Two” takes place 27 years after the infamous Loser’s Club banished Pennywise to back from whence he came, sparing the town of his murderous predilections for that cycle. But now that cycle is over, and IT is once again on the prowl, looking for delicious, fear-ridden children to satisfy hi

Anna Riggs (Photo by Fletcher Wold / the Advocate) Many of us have been thinking about the 2020 presidential election since Inauguration Day in January 2017. Democratic Party politicians have been eager, too – there are over 20 candidates in the race, including both political front-runners and underdogs. While it’s clearly too early to tell who will ultimately win, it seems as though history is being repeated, given the demographics of our current Democratic front-runners. Jo
