A note from the associate editor

From the Editor's Desk: Enjoy your first days on campus, and always know 'The Post' is here for you
June 1, 2014Greetings, fellow Bobcats, and welcome to campus! I’m glad you’re here, and I’m sure it won’t be long until Athens feels like a second home.
From The Culture Desk: Festival showcases outstanding student work
Apr. 23, 2014I absolutely adore going to see the mainstage productions the Division of Theater produces each year. The actors, though still students, perform at a professional level, the sets are mind-blowingly beautiful and it’s all for free! What’s not to like? But it’s one thing to see a revered play be put on by a renowned theater school, and it’s another to see the same group produce an entirely new play that was written by one of its own.
Transparency trouble might mar Obama's presidential legacy
Apr. 23, 2014From “it’s an ongoing investigation” to “that’s classified” to “it would be a threat to national security to tell you that” to citing “executive privilege,” government bodies — from the White House to the Athens Police Department — often don’t want information to be public. And typically there’s a good reason (for example, the Athens City School District this week did not want The Post to publish the location students are escorted to when there’s a bomb threat because officials worried it could compromise student safety).
Beyond The Books: Flexibility will be key post-college survival skill
Apr. 21, 2014I think I’ve finally learned that there isn’t a manual for how to live this life, and I’m so glad.
Everyday Wellness: Avoiding junk-food habits is deceptively simple
Apr. 21, 2014Do you raid the refrigerator or pantry for sustenance and end up consuming junk food? I get it — you’re tired, definitely not in the mood to cook and just want something quick that will satisfy your hunger cravings. What’s the big deal? Well, if the snack is primarily empty calories (processed foods or high-fat, high-sugar items), such routine behavior can be a main reason you haven’t yet achieved that coveted summer physique.
Gamer Girl: Games abound in newfound downtime
Apr. 20, 2014Who else is excited for summer? Lately, all I can think about is all the free time I’ll have in about two weeks to devote to, you guessed it, video games.
Lights, Camera, Ashton: Summer cinema lineup devoid of originality
Apr. 20, 2014The older I get, the more I find that my excitement for the upcoming summer season is dying down.
College Matt-ers: Involved students can make a difference
Apr. 19, 2014This is the last edition of College Matt-ers. Here we go.
From the Sports Desk: Clowney doesn't deserve to be No. 1 draft pick
Apr. 19, 2014Jadeveon Clowney has become a household name in the football world.
Between the lines: Feminism comes in many forms, and that's OK
Apr. 16, 2014The value of an opinion is the entitlement to it, and yet, that value has gone down in flames.
Between the Lines: 'Post' sports writer says goodbye to his beats
Apr. 16, 2014When you are about to enter a new phase in your life, it’s funny how past moments and memories come flooding back as if they had happened yesterday.
Everyday Wellness: Mindfulness meditation may help relieve stress
Apr. 15, 2014Stress is common in college and beyond. Thinking about obligations associated with school, work and home is in theory a good thing — after all, not meeting deadlines does in fact negatively affect one’s grades, job status, etc. But the omnipresence of goals, tasks and accountabilities can be unsettling, often snowballing into unnecessary and unwanted anxiety.
