Straight This is what you go through, the thumbing through the hand of cards to see what you’ve got and what you can do with your hand. You’re gonna get sadness in spades. I’ve seen enough boys walking bulldogs on ropes and Global Health girl Facebook photos of unvaccinated children in Cambodia ...
Guess what? Advice columns are stupid, but Holy Guac, people of my ilk can’t seem to get enough of them. There are some decent ones of course — Dear Sugar, written by Cheryl Strayed had its prime in The Rumpus a couple years ago (but now Strayed is hella overplayed, like Dark Horse feat. Juicy ...
Joanna Rothkopf ’12 wrote a dank column near the end of her time here, which I guess you could call a “feminist column” (squirm) called That Thing Down There. (I squirm not because I feel uncomfortable to call myself a feminist, but because of how many people abandon ship when they hear a bright-eyed ...
Automatic Problematic This professor’s eyeballs are about to pop out of her head in front of this surly discussion section. She wants you to find what is problematic. Oh honey! What isn’t!? Moby Dick is problematic. The Help is problematic. Jezebel should be more problematic. Your ...

I’ve been following Alpenglow since I saw their first concert in January 2011 – before they even had their name – in the artfully decorated M Gallery of the Old Stone Mill. It is not an Alpenglow show without some white string lights snaking along the floor or through the roof beams. I suppose ...
If I could write a devotional power ballad to the WRMC Concert Committee, I would. Aaron Slater ’16 and Arnav Adhikari ’16 are a dynamic, if skinny-legged little duo, and they are not messing around on the concert agenda this year. The annual Grooveyard concert is coming at you this Saturday, Nov. ...
Was my last article a little too Eat Pray Love-y? I feel like my last article was a little too Eat Pray Love-y. I hope you can bear with me if any more sentimental-study-abroad-blog, gag-if-I-see-one-more-Instagram-of-your-cultural-experience moments arise. This time I hope I can kick that association ...
