We can all agree that being a high school student is tough. It is hard enough dealing with relationships, schoolwork, and finding your own identity. Then throw in telekinetic powers, a vengeful queen bee, and a religious fanatic for a mother and you have entered the world of Carrie White (Chloe Grace Moretz).

Julian Sands spoke at Pollak Theatre on Friday Oct. 18. The renowned actor presented “A Celebration of Harold Pinter,” his own lecture on the famous playwright.

“Ladies and gentleman, it’s the ERIC ANDRE SHOW!” Consider these first urgent lines more of a warning for you to brace yourself than an introduction, as this latest Adult Swim (a section of Cartoon Network) oddity is one of the most chaotic, surreal, and captivatingly bizarre shows on television today.

There are few things I love more than a good rock band with a woman on lead. Maybe it’s because I grew up in the era of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and the Spice Girls’ “girl power” trend or maybe it’s just because I wish I was a rockstar. Either way I really love girls who rock, so why not share my top 5? They might not be on the level of Stevie Nicks and Joan Jett yet, but they’ll get there one day.

Senior Alexis Fox is an English education major who has been singing for as long as she can remember. She first picked up the guitar when she was 12 years old. Fox said, “I actually traded in my elementary school grade clarinet for it! It was a left-handed guitar, but for some reason it was strung right handed, and that kind of just stuck.” Since then, Alexis has started writing her own songs and giving live performances.

“When witches don’t fight, we burn,” says a deliciously dark Fiona Goode (played with excellency by Jessica Lange). This statement alone assures the audience that they’re in for a magical and wicked good time for “American Horror Story: Coven,” the third season in the hit anthology series. With each season comes a new theme of fantasy and real horrors, and this time around, the witches of Louisiana are here to cast a spell on you.

With so many adaptations of Shakespeare’s classic tale, there was a sense of skepticism as I watched this new version of “Romeo and Juliet.” However, director Carlo Carlei and screenwriter Julian Fellowes were able to breathe some new life into this tired, old love story by creating an authentic piece that not only Shakespeare himself would be proud of, but would also entertain hopeless romantics of the twenty-first century.

Miley Cyrus: America’s first living, breathing hashtag, and her disjointed Twitter feed of an album, “Bangerz,” make me fear that the impatient excesses of the smart phone age have finally caught up to us. I fear that people, especially celebrities, can now trade their humanity for cheap, hyper-modern personas tailored to fill social media pages.

Maybe it’s just me, but after two smash hit singles, a massive hit of a comeback album, frequently appearing in commercials, guest-appearing in a mediocre Jay Z song and a VMA performance/tribute that made the man appear as a god amongst mere mortals, I began to think that maybe we’ve had enough Justin Timberlake for one year.
