By Paul Harrington Staff Writer During my time at Framingham State, I would always walk past Larned Hall and notice a mysterious room - a room with “E-Sports Lounge” on the window with a dozen gaming PCs that I assumed were for student use. Every time I passed by this mysterious room, my curiosity to explore rapidly grew. Now jump to Spring 2026. I recruited my buddy Dylan Santos to explore this space with me. I’m glad that we went because I can confidently say it was t

By Antonio Machado Multimedia Editor During the majority of the school year, the Mazmamanian gallery is home to local artists, visionaries and creators, but during these past few weeks, it was proudly home to artwork by FSU’s own. The Mazmaninan Gallery hosted three receptions for its senior capstone art exhibitions to celebrate graduating art students. The first senior capstone exhibition featured art from illustration students Charlotte Jupiter, Autumn Ray, and Ziyuan Zh

By Cole Johnson Copy Editor This past March, my friend and coworker Aidan invited me to a concert for 50 Cent, which he planned to attend with several of his friends from Philadelphia. I didn’t consider myself a fan, but I wasn’t going to turn down a free ticket. The event’s location at Encore Boston Harbor was an immediate red flag. The hordes of middle-age addicts pouring their savings into slot machines didn’t exactly get me in a partying mood. On our way into the Mémoi

By Izayah Morgan Editorial Staff Mouse P.I for Hire was my most anticipated game of the year - yes, that’s with the presumption that GTA VI comes out this year. To me, I missed that old rubberhouse animation and was itching for a Doom-like shooter to fill my time. To me it could not launch at a better time as nothing else came out around its April 16 release. It being developed by a small indie studio made me even more excited. Mouse P.I sees you take on the role of a mous

By Antonio Machado Multimedia Editor On the first Monday of every May, the biggest fashion brands in the world gather together to host a fundraising gala held for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's [MET] Costume Institute in New York City. Each year has a specific dress code tied to the museum's spring exhibition. Designers spend millions of dollars in labor, fabric, and time to design garments that align with the vision for the year. This year’s theme, “Fashion Is Art,” rem

Wishbone was originally released on August 15, with songs like “Caramel”, “This Song”, and fan-favorite hit “Vodka Cranberry.” At the opening show of the Wishbone World Tour on Feb. 19, fans crowding the stands of the Target Center in Minneapolis were ecstatic to be the first listener

By Sophia Oppedisano Editor-in-Chief The first time I heard Noah Kahan’s single, “The Great Divide,” I was packed into Fenway Park for his first career show at his hometown ballpark with 30,000 other screaming New Englanders. Halfway through the show, Kahan stepped up to the mic and played the unreleased track. He warbled on about a long-gone boyhood friendship, assuring him, “You know I think about you all the time and my deep misunderstanding of your life.” As a 20-somet

By Antonio Machado Multimedia Editor [ Editor’s Note: This is a first-person account of participating in the Framingham State Fashion Show. ] Dreams change, trends come and go, but friendships never go out of style. So, when one of your best friends asks you to fulfill a life-long dream of yours by modeling her collection, you refuse to “squabble” the opportunity. You do, however, begin to freak out, because this is more than a “kiki” with a close friend - this is the Fram

By Jesse Burchill Staff Writer Released on May 1, “Hokum” is a supernatural horror film written and directed by Damian McCarthy and starring Adam Scott, Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, Florence Ordesh, Michael Patric, and Will O’Connell. The film focuses on author Ohm Bauman (Scott) as he checks into a remote hotel in rural Ireland where his deceased parents had honeymooned, and which is rumored to have a witch imprisoned inside. Bauman’s planning to spread his parents’ ashes

By Anita Loughlin Staff Writer Being a broke college student has never been more difficult to manage with the current economic climate. Many students face difficulty juggling a tight schedule filled with classes, part-time jobs, and maintaining relationships, while also wanting to look their best. Students of Framingham State University are finding new ways to build a wardrobe that expresses their identity while also prioritizing a strong emotional value in the clothing th

It is a reimagining of the Universal Studios franchise of the same name, which includes the original 1932 horror film, the 1990s/2000s action films starring Brendan Frasier and Rachel Weisz, and the 2017 flop starrin

By Izayah Morgan Editorial Staff Wrestlemania always hits a soft spot for me every time it comes up, and this year was no different. Even though it is in Vegas for the second year in a row, the show this year was largely positive in my opinion. Though the crowd didn't seem all that excited. We opened night one with a shocking opening with the USOS and LA Knight picking up the win vs IShowSpeed (yes, the streamer) and The Vision. The match was all right with some banger spo

By Kate Norrish Staff Writer If the first thing you thought of when you saw this title is the Disney movie, do me a huge favor for this article - forget everything you know about Claude Frollo. I say this because the book, published in 1831, is arguably more about him than it is about the title character Quasimodo, and while I don’t like how the Disney film portrays Frollo, I understand why they chose to make him a standard villain. This is because I have no idea how anyone

By Sarah Daponde Arts & Features Editor College students run on caffeine. At $4.25 for a 12-ounce can of Celsius from the Framingham State Snack Bar, there is only one plausible option after a late-night study session - coffee. FSU has its very own Dunkin - as any university in Massachusetts should - and another coffee place, the Red Barn Café, tucked obscurely away in the library. But the city of Framingham has dozens of options, and FSU students are not missing out on a

Tobias Cotton-Selman / THE GATEPOST By Izabela Gage Editorial Staff If you’re anything like me, you’ve been waiting patiently for almost four years for a new Harry Styles album. It’s evident Styles took his time exploring different genres. “Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally” is more electric and experimental, following the emotional third album, “Harry’s House.” While the music is synth-heavy - don’t expect disco. Instead, he blends whimsical energy with introspective

Tobias Cotton-Selman / THE GATEPOST By Antonio Machado Multimedia Editor Marriage is an interesting concept. To devote oneself entirely to another person in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, and for better or for worse is a difficult thing to wrap your head around when you never truly know the depths of the person with whom you’re willing to dive into the disparities of life with. Kristoffer Borgli’s “The Drama” navigates that difficulty masterfully. The fa
