Here at Ursuline, we are fortunate to host talented speakers and guests. I still remember some speakers from my freshman year, and I will remember them long after I have left the Academy. Following their presentations, speakers are usually kind enough to ask us if we have any questions. But in this... Read more »

Penelope is an anonymous satirical reflection loosely based on thoughts and opinions of the typical UA girl and has been a Bear Facts tradition for over 10 years. I walk into Ursuline thinking today will be an ordinary day. Nothing too special. Just the usual chatter, massive food consumption, and... Read more »

A superlative that nobody can pinpoint but everyone can recognize—once the winner is chosen, she always seems an obvious choice. The dictionary definition of ‘typical’ is “exhibiting the qualities, traits, or characteristics that identify a kind, class, group, or category.” ... Read more »

Within the past few decades, the environmental movement has made a great deal of headway in America: the word ‘green’ can now be applied to so much more than the color of grass.

A 2008 study by the new McCormick Tribune Freedom Museum found that 22 percent of Americans could name all five Simpson family members. In contrast, just 1 in 1,000 people could name all five First Amendment freedoms. Closer to home, only seniors taking government can tell you the names... Read more »

During the Black Plague, no one knew what personal hygiene was. The odor in London could be smelled in Paris, and rats crawled over people in their sleep. It was a prime example of what human hygiene should not be. And while the conditions at Ursuline have not come to that point (yet), there certainly... Read more »
