Nexustentialism

Nexustentialism is the satirical/less newsy section of UCSB's school paper, the Daily Nexus. I've had the pleasure of writing for them since I was a freshman back in 2015. Because of the quantity of work I've done, I've divided my articles into three categories for the purpose of convenience. Please note that each category is then organized in chronological order from oldest to newest.
