Daylight falls. The sun approaches the horizon once again. I have lost track of the days, for I have not exited my house in weeks. Hours pass in the blink of an eye as my life devolves into a state of incoherence and confusion. Here I stand writing, in the eye of a hurricane, knowing…
I don’t like to tell people I read poetry. I don’t like to tell people I write poetry. At least, I don’t like to tell people I read it religiously, each day taking a second out of my rapid-fire morning routine to breathe in Poetry Foundation’s poem of the day. Or that I try to…
While social distancing can seem bleak and daunting, one of my favorite coping mechanisms has been to forget what’s happening around me and dive into another world with a quality book. While you won’t find non-fiction on this list (because let’s be honest, you don’t want to think about our world any more than necessary),…
For the past five years or so, I have dealt with anxiety that has manifested in pervasive tension and occasionally acute stress. On any given day I could be extremely worried about my own mortality or a pitch I had missed in softball practice in high school. I know that a lot of people are…
It’s a weird time. With COVID-19 ripping Georgetown students unceremoniously from the Hilltop, I’ve spent much of the past few days reminiscing on my favorite parts of my freshman year—from adventures off-campus to simple contented coexistence with my friends.

Trailer 1 — The French Dispatch (2020) Roman: One of my favorite directors of all time (Wes Anderson) making a movie about one of my greatest passions (journalism)? I can hardly contain myself. While he may never reach the highs of Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009), Anderson’s quirky and off-brand sense of humor shines through in…
I tend to listen to music in phases. But over the past year I realized that the one artist I’ve never gotten tired of listening to is Spanish pop star Rosalía. Known for incorporating aspects of flamenco into her songs, Rosalía won this year’s Grammy for Best Latin Rock, Urban, or Alternative Album with El…
I have never felt such mingled fear and excitement from a TV show in my life. But after watching the season 3 premiere of The Great Pottery Throw Down, I am complete. I know a reality competition show centering around pottery sounds dull at best, but hear me out. This shit is intense. There is…
It’s a trying time here on 37th and O. With midterms, the dreariness of late February, and the crushing sense of loneliness following Valentine’s Day, we won’t lie, we’ve been going through it. And we bet you have too. It’s hard not to feel like a crusty sponge that someone used to clean up their…
