I love early university mornings.
By coincidence, every time I sit down to write a post- article, I happen to be next to my seventh-grade best friend who is the only one from home who went as far from home as me—selfishly, I dragged him to NYU when I knew I wanted to go to Brown—and we always happen to be in a coffee shop, him studying ...
By this point in the school year, you have certainly figured out your favorite dining halls and go-to meals…But have you ever stopped to consider which dining hall matches your personality—not just your dietary preferences?
What is there to say about Paris that hasn’t been said already? The rumors are true: Parisians strut around with baguettes peeking out of brown paper bags, breathe more cigarette smoke than air, and take politeness very seriously. The city pigeons coo and peck at croissant flakes underneath café ...

It was Toni Morrison who said, “Don’t write about what you know, because you don’t know anything. I don’t want to hear about your boyfriend or your grandma…I’m getting a little tired of ‘my life story as fiction.’ Please don’t tell me about your little life—is there nothing larger? ...
Nostalgia is a peculiar experience. It evokes a swath of emotions, usually positive. From walking down the street to passing by a food truck whose aroma encompasses scents of sweet, of salty, of something in between, it is commendable how quickly we are able to connect that something, even if just a ...

When it’s spring, we stake flimsy blue plastic funnels into soft mud. The rain gauge—otherwise known as the udometer, ombrometer, pluviometer, or hyetometer—measures the amount of liquid precipitation in a predefined area over a set period of time. I got mine for free at the public library. It ...
Many stumble upon their words when trying to decipher the origin of our beloved April Fools’ Day. Was it the saints in their splendor? Or God Himself, who blessed us with the most splendid day of the year? Who can I thank for this radical and majestic holiday? One so rooted in selfish satisfaction ...
For years, Martin Scorsese has argued that Marvel movies are not “cinema.” Marvel fans, meanwhile, have steadfastly defended their position that they are movies “you can certainly watch, if you want.” In the spirit of peace, love, and opening up channels for good-faith discourse, here are some ...
Aries - Hector Berlioz. Like Hector, you’re a little (a lot) impulsive. If he invited you to participate in his plan to dress up in a maid outfit and murder his ex-fiancée as revenge for cheating on him, you’d probably go along with it. You’re probably the only one who can match his intense, ...
