10 Halloween Movies to Watch This Season
One of my favorite things to do around Halloween is watch a bunch of creepy movies. Depending on my mood, I will either go for a lighthearted kid-friendly movie or an all-out terrifying horror movie. Whichever mood you are feeling, you can’t go wrong with these movies.
Celebrities: The Key to Selling Luxury Fashion
When I was younger, I loved staring at images of beautiful celebrities in glamorous outfits on red carpets. Although I never deeply contemplated who owned the clothing they wore, I always assumed it was the celebrities themselves. Confessions of a Shopaholic was a movie I would watch religiously. It was probably the inspiration for my dream of a color-coordinated walk-in closet, complete with an entire wall just for my shoes. In my mind, wealth and its power resided in the clothes it could buy me and nothing more.
Dance: Is it an Art or a Sport?
Oftentimes we are taught to think of things in terms of their opposites: good versus bad, hot versus cold, dark versus light. It’s this mode of thinking that has led to many harmful stereotypes and disagreements. It is a limited way of thinking, and we should thus seek to move beyond its constraints. That is why when the matter of deciding whether dance is an art or a sport, my answer is less restricted. I think it is both.
Columbia University always loves Yankees and Gehrig
When I was a little boy I saw a movie called the Pride of the Yankees. It was the story of the great Yankee Lou Gehrig. The second scene in the film was about the fact that Gehrig went to Columbia University. It showed that he had a great college life just like any normal […]
Hurricane Ian: The Aftermath in Florida
This week Hurricane Ian set course towards Florida, impacting the state in a major way. The hurricane unleashed major winds on the state leaving behind historic levels of damage, flooding, and loss. The storm struck the West coast at a category 4 (nearing a category 5) , reaping serious damage on coastal cities. The hurricane began to lose momentum as it neared further inland, being downgraded to a tropical storm by the time it reached Central Florida. Once the storm made its way to Central Florida however, it lingered, resulting in floods in certain parts of the region. Urban areas were particularly prone to flooding, with cities like Orlando and Kissimmee experiencing historic levels of flooding. The storm finally left the state via the East coast after rampaging across the state similarly to Hurricane Charley, which struck the state in 2004.
Cruel & Unusual Punishment: The Forgotten Prisoners Left in Hurricane Ian’s Path
As Floridians evacuated their homes in preparation for category 5 Hurricane Ian to hit their state, officials left one group of people locked away to fend for themselves: inmates. In a statement by the Florida Department of Corrections yesterday, they announced that out of the state’s 176,000 inmates (the number of people collectively held in prisons, jails and detention centers), approximately 2,500 of them had been evacuated.

Biden Praises FEMA’s Response to Hurricane Ian
On Thursday, President Joe Biden praised the Federal Emergency Management Agency for its response to Hurricane Ian, telling the room full of FEMA workers that they are helping to restore America’s faith in their government. After attending a FEMA briefing on the hurricane’s devastation in Florida, Biden stopped to speak to the workers. According to Biden, faith in government institutions has been eroding over the past six to 10 years.

This boxer is no doubt a beast in the ring, making a name for himself with hard work, passion, and determination.
TV Review: Why I Love The Vampire Diaries
This show (including the people that were a part of it!) has been my favorite show ever since I randomly saw it on TV in 2009. I was 9 years old, which is way too young to have watched it, but I couldn’t help myself when I realized how wonderfully put-together the plot was and how dazzling the characters were. As I got deeper and deeper into my love for this show, I realized that I also loved all of the actors and producers that were a part of it, and I developed a huge crush on Ian Somerhalder that I still carry with me to this day. Sadly, this show has already ended, but you can stream all of its seasons on HBO Max or Peacock. You can also find its two spin-off shows, the Originals and Legacies, on Netflix.
Hundreds of migrants fleeing Lebanon die after boat sinks off Syrian coast
Ibrahim Mansour, one of 20 survivors of one of the deadliest boat accidents in the Eastern Mediterranean, says he can’t forgive himself for failing to save others while speaking from a hospital bed while still in shock.
The small boat carrying more than 150 people set sail from crisis-torn Lebanon early last week in the hopes of finding a better life in Italy. According to the United Nations, those on board included both children and elderly people and were primarily Lebanese, Syrians, and Palestinians.
