Good morning, afternoon or whenever you’re reading this,
I don’t know about you, but that was one of the most character building finals weeks of my life. But we made it (apart from the unlucky few who have tests on the absolute last day, my deepest sympathies)! Luckily, it’s been an eventful semester over on the A&E desk and here are some of our top stories to read instead of studying or prepping for the holiday!
Best wishes and try not to miss us too much,

Hauling buns and spreading joy: Oscar Mayer Wienermobile visits Minnesota
by Emma Vasa | A&E Reporter | Published Sept. 28, 2025
If you are lucky, you may have the chance to spot a 27-foot hot dog rolling into your nearest city.
For 89 years, the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile has hauled buns across America with one mission: spreading joy.
Hotdoggers Camila Fowler and Hunter Gonzales are two of 12 active Wienermobile pilots on a yearlong “weenie roast” from coast to coast. The duo has visited more than a dozen cities over the past four months, stopping at summer camps, rodeos and even crashing a wedding.
