The Florida Southern College Department of Safety has been implementing a variety of changes internally and externally throughout this past summer including new infrastructures and personal training for the staff. 

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of traveling up to Gainesville to visit a close friend of mine and past Editor-in-Chief, Emma Poole. We went on a pretty ambitious five mile expedition in search of the illustrious wild bison that live in the Paynes Prairie State Park, the last wild herd in the state of Florida. We were observed by a deer hiding in the shade under some wild oak trees, and were constantly bombarded by swarms of flies, grasshoppers and mysterious buzzing sounds. Our shoes got soaked in mud, and sweat glistened on our faces. Although we did not get the opportunity to see any wild bison or horses, I am still so thankful for being able to explore a Florida State Park. 

The genre of pop music can be defined in various ways, depending on individual perspectives. While some define it simply as popular music, others associate it with a certain sound or style. However, with the emergence of artists such as Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter in the current music scene, the conventional definition of pop music may be transforming.
