Here’s how we make sense of everything. From hot takes to heartbreak. These are the five corners of The Rival. Click around. Read something. Maybe it’ll make you write something too.

Not sure where your piece could fit? Don’t worry, send it anyway. If it matters to you, it belongs here.

Campus Culture

The weirdness, beauty, and buzz of AU life. Dining hall debates, campus drama, student movements, if it’s happening at school or just off campus, it probably lives here.

Opinion

From campus debates to national dilemmas, these are the thoughts we sit with the ones we can’t ignore until we write them down.

Our Stories

What we’ve lived, what we’ve felt, what we’re still figuring out. Love. Identity. Meltdowns. Growth. Bad dates. Weird roommates. Big thoughts. Small wins. It’s all fair game here.

Satire & Silliness

Where it all began. Jokes, bits, fake news, an emotional fanfic about the Metrobus… yea we did that. This is where our creative works live.

Reporting from The District

News, investigations, and interviews from AU, across D.C., and beyond. From elections to policy shifts, student voices to city politics. this is where our journalism lives. Unaffiliated. Uncensored. Unrestricted.
