all me pretentious, but I have
no issue with spending more money than is necessary for good coffee. I’m not a fan of black coffee. It’s too bitter. Sometimes, I don’t just want unflavored coffee with just cream and sugar. I drink coffee iced more often than I don’t. On top of all that, I’m lazy, and never have time in the mornings to actually make my own coffee. For all of these reasons, I don’t mind spending anywhere from $3$5 for a cup of coffee. I’m still just a teenager with a less-than-sophisticated palette, and I really don’t know the difference between good coffee and everything else, but when I like something, I like it. I’m willing to pay for it over and over again. Brewing at home would put the fancy, expensive coffee debate to rest, but for people who are on the go, that may not be an option. These people clearly don’t have a problem spending significant amounts of money on coffee that adds up through the weeks, months and years. In an April 12 article in the New York Times, Oliver Strand, who is currently finishing a book about
Tony Konecny, the head of coffee operations at Locol, prides himself on the $1 coffee they’ve been able to perfect and sell, but still recognizes that you couldn’t run a coffee shop selling coffee for that price.

went to McDonalds instead of Starbucks. There are a lot of people who enjoy the experience of getting coffee. They enjoy the dim lighting of a local shop, with people around tapping on laptops, sitting in outlandish chairs and sofas, and the high-pitched squeaking of the espresso machine. These aren’t the type of shops that are usually the go-to in the early morning of the daily commuter (unless you live in Beverly Hills, or something). These shops are important and have their place. They’re meant for people to come in, sit down, and recharge. They’re a destination for friendly meet-ups or interviews, reunions with old friends, and refuge from a cold winter day. In this case, I could understand getting the $4 coffee and watching it be made in front of your eyes to be put in a giant mug that you can shuffle to your seat in the café. But at Starbucks? When you’re running in to grab energy and leave needing to think about a second job? There’s no value in that. Starbucks serves strong coffee, and maybe that’s why it costs so much. But if I’m going to invest in this drug every day, it needs to be affordable.

13 Reasons Why Walks the Line Antifa Attack Free of a Dangerous Message Speech Rally at BY ALESSIA BICKNESE OPNION EDITOR
A
s of recently, Netf-
lix’s 13 Reasons Why has consumed the lives of millions. If you aren’t familiar, the show consists of 13 episodes, each entailing an hour of heartwrenching content. The short series has a clear objective (to most people): to raise awareness around suicide. However, it’s not a tranquil show that portrays hope. It doesn’t focus on the light in a person’s life, especially that of someone who struggles with depression. In this case, Hannah Baker, the high-school student the show revolves around, doesn’t seem to find her light. The content is incredibly heavy and cryptic due to the awfully realistic material. It seems as though whenever something abysmal happens, something even worse tops it. While the series is based on a novel by Jay Asher, individuals battling depression found it way too in-depth to watch. To viewers who fully analyze the show like myself, there is

There were celebrations afterwards, such as the one pictured in this article’s photo, where two attendees stood atop the aforementioned dumpster holding a Pepsi can (in reference to Pepsi’s controversial advertisement). The Berkeley Police Department mostly stood back during the event while the violence was happening, only making about 20 arrests. Although this has not been confirmed, it may be because the mayor of Berkeley or-

Similar to the February 1 riots, I recommend watching raw footage of the event in order to understand what happened. Tim Pool uploaded a 2-hour livestream on YouTube, but other channels show highlights. This is important because many outlets have tried to downplay Antifa’s violence or pin the blame on the Free Speech Rally.

hosted their annual Arson Awareness Fair on Wednesday (April 19) to bring awareness to the danger of fires and assure students know how to handle them. Fires have been a major cause of serious accidents and causalities in the last several years, yet very few know people know how to handle them when they happen. Safety is major priority, but sometimes a simple lecture or an instructional manual doesn’t cut it. The University of New Haven’s Fire Science Club challenged that with the Arson Awareness Fair to teach students how to keep themselves safe in the event of a Fire. The gray and windy day could not mask the warmth and liveliness of the fair in the Celentano Quad.

The play, directed by Theater Coordinator Dr. Steve Luber is a satire centered around J. Pierpont Finch (portrayed by University student Michael Kennedy), an eager and witty young man who reads a book written in detailed steps explaining how to work your way to the top in big business. With the help of the book and a few friends along the way, including an equally witty Rosemary Pilkington (portrayed by Kiera Terrell), Finch’s charm, luck and ambition lead him to success.
