It cannot be denied that over the past few years, the presence of veganism and vegetarianism has increased in popular culture. The availability of products that allow people to follow other diet plans has greatly increased as well, which makes it easier and easier to buy plant-based products or other products that support different diets. Why is it that so many people are now following a plant-based or alternative dietary option?

The objective of wrestling seems simple: put the opponent on their back. In reality, wrestling is much more complicated and challenging than that. It’s a sport that requires agility, smarts, strength, and commitment.

In areas like Minnesota, winter means snow and bundling up in a heavy coat, and, of course, the winter holidays and the season of joy they bring throughout the cold months.

As the year comes to an end, Breezes has put together a list of some of the best albums of the year. While this list may miss some student favorites, it is a personal reflection in opposition to being a reflection of the student body’s opinion.
