When I first read Fifty Shades of Grey, I was not really into it, but I wanted to see what the hype was and sadly, I was not happy. I mean, you take a plain-looking girl and a rich guy and put them together, that sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Throughout the book, […]

2016: Take Two
Ten years ago, we had facetune and the Snapchat dog filter flooding our Instagram feeds. Tumblr gave us our fashion inspiration, and our chokers were so tight our airways were probably compromised. Our skinny jeans were ripped to shreds, and our shirts promoted bands we most likely have only heard of once (when we bought […]
Will A Coaching Change Create New Results?
It seemed like, at one point in time, Iga Swiatek was untouchable as she led the WTA by a huge margin. She won four grand slam titles between the years 2022-2024 with three of those titles being won at Roland Garros. The highest-ranked Pole reached unbelievable heights during her years at the top of the […]
Why RPGs are the Best Gaming Genre
One of the things that makes video games so special to many is their ability to serve as an escape from the stresses of daily life. The immersive experience that many games offer allow players to feel like they’re present in a new world, and it gives them the opportunity to participate in advanced interactive […]
Could We Be One Step Closer to Peace?
I think I speak for most, if not all, Americans when I say that the war with Iran needs to end. The destruction of Iranian soil and the deaths of many individuals have created an apprehension regarding the welfare of the world—and Trump’s stubbornness has led several American cries for peace to go unheard.

Pilates is the New Nightlife
I’m sorry, I can’t go out tonight, I booked myself a 6 A.M. pilates class tomorrow. The girls, and the guys too, have found the new, hottest club in town–and you won’t feel terrible the next morning! Rather than late nights of downing shots and making memories that won’t be remembered, a shift is occurring […]
It’s All in the Scent
A warm summer day, ocean breeze and coconut floating in the air. A fresh flower garden with roses and jasmine filling the wind. Vanilla ice cream with a caramel swirl dazzles our noses. Perfume allows us to be sent into a different place, a different time, all with the correct notes and pairings. When we […]
The Eviction of House Music
A red sign has been placed on a genre that should have remained untouched–and not a giant neon one to keep us dancing all night long, an eviction notice instead. Years ago, we could walk into any house party and expect only the top, classic playlist of our dreams. No matter the people around us, […]
King James” Showcases Friendship Formed Through Basketball
Who knew that an entire theater show could center around Lebron James of all people? It’s not that I hate Lebron James or anything, it’s just not super common to watch musicals that feature a plot centering around sports, but it looks like sports will be crossing over into the industry as King James looks […]
Feeling Euphoric Again
Ashtray killed, Fezco shot. Rue (hopefully) sober, ended relationship with Jules. Cassie’s memorable outburst and Maddy chasing her, a silent moment in the bathroom. Nate gives his father to the police, still with Cassie. Four years ago, in winter of 2022, we saw all of these moments from HBO’s Euphoria. Now, in just a few […]

America’s Airport Chaos
At any point, air travel and the airport can be a stressful scene. Finding a place to park, ensuring we get to the airport two hours before our flight takes off, making sure we pick the perfect coffee and snack to keep us company on a long flight, and ICE agents? And a shortage of […]
