There’s a dirty rumor being spread by some sorry individuals that because of the current pandemic, Halloween has to be cancelled, or extremely scaled back. If we can’t throw massive ragers or shower the naked bodies’ of strangers in regurgitated fun size Milky Ways then what’s even the point?

We like to stay pretty competitive here at The Thrill, and a Blog Off is one way we can definitively prove that one of us is objectively a better blogger (dare we say, a better person). So we leave it to you, the reader, to decide in a blind taste test who is really better as we square off on various topics. This time around, we have sophomore Brooke Brown and first-year Isla Hamblett battling it out RE: Which virtual learning platform is superior? Zoom or Google Meet? Who will come out on top? Only you can decide.
