The stigma around mental health medication is something I wasn’t aware of until I started taking medication. For me, anxiety medication changed everything. But it took a long time to get there. After a therapy session one day, my therapist brought up medication. We didn’t really talk too much about......

As college students here at Fredonia, it is rare for us to see a dog, or any animal for that matter. I wanted to bring the passion of my photos to the passion of every campus student who misses their animals back home. Here is a small compilation of the......

A letter from Joseph Marciniak, Scallion Editor

The Scallion has been providing fine satiric news to the student body and general public for years. Our goal has always and will always be the same: to take a step back and laugh. We are not a real news section. Let me be clear on this: no matter how......
