Top 5 in News: New Series Launches Next Sunday

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Chicago chapter.

Living on a college campus can often feel like living in a bubble. The outside world sometimes takes the backseat to the more urgent needs of students, such as studying for that dreaded physics exam or keeping up with  duties at your on-campus job.

Reading the news sometimes doesn’t seem achievable in a jam-packed day. In lieu of  not reading the news at all, Her Campus UChicago hopes that you check back at the end of each week to read our Top 5 in News.

The new series will feature the Top 5 in College News, Top 5 in Nation News, and Top 5 in World News. The sections will feature easy-to-read news blurbs. Don’t expect to spend more than 1-2 minutes reading the sections!

 Rather than waiting for the next week for new content, you can check back each Sunday evening for your weekly dose of news. You’ll be able to feel less guilty of  not reading a single news article during midterms.
