The Adversary Rochester, The Adversary UR or simply just “The Adversary” (I have no idea—someone please help me out here) launched online in October 2015 with the mission of making all self-described “edgy” UR Students’ voices heard. Here at Campus Times, we are losing our damn minds.

The Adversary debuted with a 66-second YouTube video, which voiced the true opinions of the students. It’s not absolutely clear what new and true opinions The Adversary intends to bring to the table; but, if you’re interested in hearing students yell profanities about Safe Ride, this video is for you. I mean, nothing says unfair like a free service to drive you home when you’re drunk. Right?

This new student-run online newspaper brings to the table everything the Campus Times could not, including but not limited to: articles with color, mentions of bars, sex, sports,  grammatical mistakes, already-established opinions about student life, click-bait, fun and relatable cussing, hopefully political opinions (please, pretty please) and a beautiful “trending” bar (students really eat that up.) Oh, and ideas the Campus Times has already covered—almost forgot about that one. It’s a good thing they’re doing that because we’re not allowed to rewrite articles, and readers need the same content. They need it.

Knowing that our days are numbered here at Campus Times, we’ve frantically sent letters to our exactly 11 consistent readers detailing The Adversary’s fun and exciting platform and providing warning of our imminent demise. It’s time for you to start reading The Adversary—we’re washed up. Hopefully, it can touch your heart, like it has all of ours at the Campus Times. From the Campus Times to you, whoever it is that actually reads these articles, thanks for the journey. “UR Heard.”

Oh, and read The Buzz, too.

For graduated senior Helen Jackson, who hadn’t been able to go home for breaks for the past two years, these last few months have been a much-needed break. “I’m moving halfway across the country in July for my PhD program, so I probably won’t be able to come home very often after this,” she said.

The first realization of my own age hit me in the months before I started college. I was helping my dad clean the small office he’d occupied in Rush Rhees longer than I’d been alive. The walls of which boasted childhood drawings that my sister and I had crayoned. Even though I was looking at my distant past, I realized I would soon be starting a new page of my future. Read More
