I hate movie theaters. I genuinely avoid them and will do ANYTHING to dodge going to the movies. But, somehow, thanks to the TikTok hype around “Regretting You,” I ended up in a movie theatre on a random Tuesday. I really wasn't expecting much… mostly because whenever TikTok grows obsessed with a movie, it becomes one of those unescapable ads that stalk you across every platform. Usually, I boycott those movies out of pure self-preservation. But, this trend was different. It

Photo via NCFCU I love holidays and celebrations. However, if I am at the cusp of burning out in school, a point on which I am usually bordering, my social battery is exceptionally low. This makes it extremely difficult to be positive during family gatherings. It’s a bit fascinating, really – I feel exhausted before I even step into the room! If you are someone who barely survives big family dinner parties and has to partake in calming breathing exercises before entering the

What better way to get in the mood for the holidays than decorating? I have always loved to decorate my room according to the seasons – orange blankets in the fall and fairy lights for winter. While scrolling on TikTok, as one does, I came across a video of old-fashioned Christmas decor, and it has taken over my FYP. So, to get in the Holiday spirit, I thought I’d share some of my favorite crafts I found to have your house looking like a cozy cottage from Little Women. Cardbo

The leaves of those gentle, swaying forests which fill the rugged wounds of the earth with their soothing salve have long shed their former verdancy, filling the air with their life-giving fire: a well-paced dance of scarlet and gold. Whispers and excitement electrify the air: “All Hallow’s Eve is nigh!” And, oh, a movie comes ou

Photo via Hadestown What’s the difference between a good storyteller and a great one? Where does the line blur from average to incredible, a legend born that cements itself in our very souls and tears down the walls we build. Walls, so strong that they separate ourselves from stories of love and hope and kindness – of humanity. We build so many walls. But “why do we build the walls?” Why do we “keep our heads low?” It's almost as if “we’ve been alone so long, we didn’t even

As October comes around, the big question never changes. It's always “What are you going to be this year?,” and we always wonder, “How many people will wear the same thing?” This year’s lineup of costumes feels like a mix of throwbacks, trends, and a few wildcards that will either be amazing or dubious. I’m predicting a creative range: insects like ladybugs and bumblebees might buzz their way back, and I’m not sure if the 2000s “animal” costumes with the fur hats and boots wi

This is a thought imperative to the life of a mouse, though we may not regularly concern ourselves with the nuances of rodential emotions. In fact, we treat them as pests, regardless of their complex nature. To explore the thought process of a mouse is rare, and to devote an entire album to it is even rarer. Yet, singer-songwriter Will Wood, known for his emotional, zany, alternative, and folksy m
