Got feelings for someone, but you don't have the right words to say? Send them a playlist of your favorite love songs and let the lyrics do the talking. As someone who creates playlists frequently, I thought I would give my tips for creating the perfect playlist for any occasion!

The leak is a defining event in American politics. Never before has the Supreme Court been undermined by a leak. The very word reminds the young American of Snapchat’s Dailymail. A cheap scheme used by tabloids to sway public opinion. The Supreme Court is supposed to be an impartial, legal institution. It is unaffected by political opinion. Such a political scandal threatens the authority of the court.

The most trustworthy is the gov.uk website which will quickly become your best friend. It will have all the information you need for your Tier Four visa and beyond. Sometimes, this website can seem a bit cryptic and in this case, reach out to the international team at your uni if they have one. They are a dedicated group that should be able to answer any further questions. 

In 2019, I was a senior in high school and, as such, I was incredibly stressed for college decisions to come out. Truth be told, I applied to only a handful of schools and got into less than half of them. One of the schools was the University of Chicago, where I go now. But as someone who has thought of transferring more than once since being here, I can say with confidence that where you go to college matters… just probably not in the way you think. Here are ten things I wish I knew before choosing my college, and before starting college at all.

Having played guitar for the past twelve years of my life--literally more than half my life--I’ve had to do my fair share of navigating the world of musical equipment, what’s worth it and what’s not, red flags, and more. Here are some things I’ve learned along the way that you might want to keep in mind when buying your first guitar.

There is a reason groupthink is often labeled as a consequence of combined ignorance rather than a benefit of shared thoughts. With over one billion active users in over 150 countries worldwide, we are all very familiar with the kind of videos posted on the social media platform TikTok. From cooking instruction videos to 'get ready with me' videos, founder Zhang Yiming nearly doubled his billion-dollar fortune due to home-struck users and a flood of content on the platform.

So… you're interested in writing, or perhaps already a writer. Maybe you're stagnant with your writing process or are an aspiring writer but don't know where to start. Books may be the answer to all your problems. Especially: books on how to write.

One of the most common questions that I get concerns the difference between machine and hand-poked tattoos. Although the growing popularity of hand-poked tattoos has slightly alleviated the stigma surrounding them, a lot of the information available online still reflects this bias, negatively skewing any answers to this question.

As COVID guidelines decrease, many schools are lifting their year-long mask mandates. However, something strange seems to be happening that continues to puzzle teachers and administrators- although students fully understand that the threat of contracting COVID-19 has nearly diminished, they still prefer to keep their masks on. If COVID numbers are low, what is preventing these students from de-masking?

Recently, re-creations of the iconic final scene from the 2019 masterpiece Midsommar have been all over my TikTok for you page. The prevalence of this content prompted an interesting chat with a friend, in which we discussed the probable catharsis of collective emotionality. Imagine the validation you would feel while experiencing intense anguish as you are held by a collective of people who are crying and breathing in tandem with you. This is the embodiment and quintessence of pure, intensive empathy.

You’ll find a long and diverse list of fictional (and a sprinkling of historically significant novels you will find in the curriculum) works to read during your year(s) of AP US History. These works either belong to or are reminiscent of their respective time periods.

How is it that we so easily fall prey to biased media coverage and propaganda, while critically consuming the stories shown to us? Why is it that we’re so much happier to accept critiques of our systems if they’re shown through the lens of fiction, as opposed to a segment on the news?

#EntryLevelBoss was truly my saving grace during a time where I felt like the world drowned out my sorrowful cries that were full of worry and hurt. It’s a book that everyone needs in their life. Whether that may be a college graduate, a fresh-faced teenager wanting to work in the job market, or someone who’s taken a long hiatus from working. This book is a necessity if you want to navigate today’s tumultuous, confusing, and never-ending changing career market.

However, what if I told you that aside from your placements in your chart that you know about like your Sun, Moon, Rising, Mars, and Venus, for example, they are planets, asteroids, and even fixed points in your chart that can help you with the challenges and/or obstacles in your life that you want to correct yourself?

Ghauri entered an industry where almost all of the models walking the runway were Nordic-looking, where European faces and features were valued and often financially rewarded, elevating the idea that this beauty standard was the one to aim for. Every girl wanted to look like the astonishing Claudia Schiffer, Brigitte Bardot, or Cindy Crawford. The fashion industry was nothing like it is today: you never or rarely saw POC models on magazine covers or on the runway.

You were one that will latch itself to my fleeting memory for years to come. You were ruthless, uncouth - a wolf in sheep’s clothing. I recognize that despite the many deeply unsettling encounters you faced the world and I with, that you assisted me in shedding my childish skins. I am no longer a character of purity, for in the past 365 days I have learned what it is like to exist as a human being, and that this existence is not always one of lightheartedness. The world is both cruel and beautiful in likewise cacophony. 

Astrology is like a map. Well, a map drenched in water and maybe burned a little at the edges. It’s just decipherable enough to tell you how to get where you’re going. It will never indicate exactly where that might be because this map is magic and the ending location changes between every user. Even if this map can’t tell you exactly where you’re going, it can teach you about love, the past and the future, passion, and how we are all connected.

The history of the guitar shows that musical instruments have been gendered. But recently, this gendering is beginning to change, and it’s for the best. The guitar isn’t just a musical instrument laden with history, it’s also a symbol. The modern guitar is the most popular instrument in the world, and it crosses boundaries of politics, country, ethnicity, demographics, social class, and economics.

TOKYO’S REVENGE, the anonymous, genre-blending artist is bringing music videos back to life, starting with his latest video for his track “GOTHAM.”
