Down comes the rain in City Vista

In 2017, Trinity purchased City Vista. Since then, students have found a number of issues with the apartment complex. Some students haven't had better luck.

As self-proclaimed connoisseurs of the uplifting beverage, Elyse Andrews and I have searched far and wide throughout San Antonio to find the perfect cup of joe. In...

The Witching Hour

It’s the witching hour, folks. With recent reboot of "Charmed," and a reimagination of "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," a president with scandals and a controversial new member of the Supreme Court, one could say that the 1990s are back.

It has been a year full of learning, growing and experiencing Catholicism in ways that I never expected.

Walking the line of being a fan and a journalist

My name is Elise Hester. I was a Trinitonian sport reporter for two years. Then, for a few months, I was not. Now I am again. I have written over 75 articles, some of which were even good.
