Let me preface this by saying that I am not a gamer by any definition. My limited gaming resume consists of “Animal Crossing,” “Stardew Valley,” and “Pokémon Brilliant Diamond,” largely because of my personal gaming requirements. Anything too difficult stresses me out; games that are easy and straightforward bore me. I need to have some […]
Let me walk you through the end of your semester. It’s a week before the holidays, you’re finally done with finals, and you’ve never felt more ready to kick back and revel in your hard-earned winter break. While giddily packing to go home, you are seized by panic— it dawns on you that you have […]
There. I said it, and I mean it wholeheartedly. If not for the band’s indefinite hiatus, fun. could have (and still very possibly could) become a modern-day cultural phenomenon, level to the insurmountable popularity of Queen. I know that’s a big statement and an even bigger comparison. Nonetheless, before someone assumes I believe that Nate […]
Spooky season went out with a bang this year, especially with the conclusion of the Watcher’s web series’ first season, Ghost Files. Hosted by self-proclaimed ghoul boys Ryan Bergara and Shane Madej, Ghost Files consisted of six episodes in which skeptic Madej and believer Bergara explore various “haunted” locations.

As a college student, it sometimes feels as through stress comes from every direction, to the point of almost perfect imitation of an unbalanced compass. Between classes, work, and socializing, life can get overwhelming very quickly. With piling high responsibilities, money can rank low on one’s list of priorities; saving is a struggle that plagues […]
The last thing I thought I’d have the chance to do was sit in a theater with my best friend listening to My Chemical Romance’s “Famous Last Words” blast over the speakers while waiting for a YouTuber I used to watch (and, admittedly, still watch) come on stage. But alas, sometimes life takes us by […]
“Shall we keep dancing?” The question every audience wants to hear—it means the show will go on; that the night isn’t over quite yet. English singer-songwriter Declan McKenna asked the crowd these words before continuing his encore for four more songs, and the question was unsurprisingly met with enthusiastic cheers that reverberated throughout the venue.

Before August is even finished, many start gearing up for “spooky season.” Sweaters are pulled out of storage, skeletons begin to hit the shelves, and anticipation for the famed pumpkin spiced everything is ready to overflow before fall officially starts. Then, in an eerily similar fashion, the hype for Christmas begins. Wreaths hang for sale, […]
In recent years, it seems as though the media has perpetuated society’s growing and sick romanticization of serial killers. Netflix’s latest crime drama series, Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, is a product of its environment. Some argue that Zac Efron’s role as Ted Bundy in Netflix’s Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile ignited […]
“If you have an opinion, maybe you should shove it,” kicks off Paramore’s latest single “This Is Why,” and ends the alternative rock band’s five-year music hiatus. “This is Why” was released on Sept. 28 as the first-ever titular song from its upcoming sixth studio album, also titled This Is Why. The musical awakening follows […]
