The first six weeks of the school year are called the “Red Zone,” a period of time where an unsettling number of campus sexual assaults take place.

Post Malone finally dropped his latest album “Hollywood’s Bleeding” on Sept. 6 and I am ALL for it. It’s been an excruciatingly long year since his last album “Beerbongs & Bentleys” dropped in April of 2018, and just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, Posty did it again with full...
