Breaking the Brandeis bubble
Near the beginning of the academic year, both the students and the administration put great effort into requiring people on campus to stay on campus, while discouraging those outside of the Brandeis community from coming onto campus. The administration has been quite consistent about this, even putting forth guidelines encouraging individuals to stay within Massachusetts […]

Jigsaw puzzles: relaxation for the soul
Growing up as an only child, I didn’t really have anyone to play with as a kid. Entertaining myself was, well, a me problem. Please note that I was still growing up before the major era of technology, so playing games on an iPad or computer was not really a thing. But anyways, being a […]
Modern threats to US Supreme Court legitimacy

The flaws in our police state
One year after the death of George Floyd, Black and brown men are still dying at the hands of trigger-happy police. Time and time again, news has come across our timelines of yet another incident of police brutality, of yet another young Black man being brutalized for their skin color, of yet another American backstabbing […]
Being a midyear used to be awesome
I was a London midyear. That means that, rather than coming to Brandeis in fall 2017, I was selected to make an unheard-of choice: sit around and do nothing for a season or take my abroad semester immediately. My other option was to go to Australia or something with Northeastern anyway, so going to London […]

‘Yes Day’ will give everyone above the age of 12 anxiety
When you see a Netflix movie, you immediately have a set of expectations: not cinematic genius, but a nice movie. Although “Yes Day” is supposed to be a comedy, we ended up with strong feelings of worry and anxiety throughout the majority of the film. Perhaps that just shows that we are old farts with […]
Pay attention to Olivia Rodrigo
You might not know the name Olivia Rodrigo, but you will soon. This 18-year-old is an up-and-comer with tons of potential. Her first two singles “driver’s license” and “deja vu” have gone straight to the top of the charts, and right to the top of my heart. You’ve probably heard “driver’s license” whether or not […]
