Liam’s Looks: Jewelry
Hello and welcome to another installment of Liam’s Looks, the segment of The Hoot where I, Liam, provide you with fashion advice on how to level up your style game! Today, we will be talking about how to make sure your jewelry game is on point. Accessories in general are a great way to make […]
Mariposa #1
Historical adaptations, both fiction and reality-based, have always been a favorite genre of mine. From shows like “Downton Abbey” to modern adaptations like “SIX,” the reflections of past worlds and nations are always a joy to submerge myself in. Hispanic and Latino literature is also a phenomenal genre, with greats like Isabel Allende and Julia […]
Indigenous Suffering and Health
I recently attended a Zoom event hosted by the Tomaquag Museum in Rhode Island, an organization with a goal “to educate all of our relations (everyone) on Indigenous cultures of the Dawnland,” as noted on their official website. They are entirely Indigenous-operated, with a number of cultural, historical, and educational events put on to fulfill […]
Lessons From Ethel Kennedy
On Friday, Oct. 30, I did something somewhat atypical for a college student to do on Halloweekend: I went to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum. The museum was hosting Kerry Kennedy, daughter of former U.S. Attorney General Robert Kennedy, who was giving a talk about her new book about her mother, titled: […]
Cabbing with Lego
The Campus Activities Board (CAB) is one of our most underrated clubs. Everyone knows about Springfest, our epic end of year concert, but CAB has events all year round. In fact, you can audition to be a Springfest opener very soon! If this is your first year at Brandeis, before the headliner, student musician groups […]
Another gay hockey romance
I have found it very difficult to find time to read books for pleasure in the past few years, but I have always loved to read. When a book really pulls you in, you just can’t put it down, no matter what you do, and I found that recently in Rule #1: Never Accidentally Marry […]
The Protest No One Seems To Start Talking About
Usdan has been the center of much Brandeis talk lately. Every year, its hours seem to shrink more and more, leaving both students who live in upper campus and the workers at a disadvantage. This semester, Usdan is never open for breakfast or anytime on Fridays. A new organization, Red Youth Rising (RYR), has taken […]
Liam’s Looks: Cold Weather Tips
As temperatures begin to drop, the layers of clothing rise. Welcome to your guide on dressing in colder weather, because summer is not the only season where fashion can shine. First up is layering. Adding layers is one of the quickest ways to add some excitement to something basic. You can layer a tank top […]
Oh So Sailing
The Head Of The Charles is the biggest regatta in the world, and it is an event to behold. Having never attended a regatta, I had no idea what to expect, but I was ready to see people rowing down the Charles in shells. This year was the 61st year of this event, with 32 […]
The Bro Bias
I recently had a conversation with a gym bro who told me he called himself a traditionally masculine buff guy, but he wanted to start wearing dresses and other traditionally female clothes. This might sound unlikely, someone at the epitome of maleness wanting to embrace something traditionally feminine. It was anonymous, so I have no […]
Brandeis Food Forest
A few days ago, on Oct. 2, the Brandeis Food Forest (BFF) had its grand opening. After being originally scheduled for a week prior, a nor’easter pushed the event back to what turned out to be the perfect day. With live music, volunteer opportunities, and a rock painting station, the opening was buzzing with activity. […]
Liam’s Looks: Hair Tips
Hello all and welcome back to the second edition of Liam’s Looks. This is a segment where I share style tips, fashion guides, and beauty advice for the average Brandesian to look, feel, and present their best to the world. One key way of looking your best is through your hair. I have often found […]
SIX The Movie Review
Ever since I first heard Don’t Lose Ur Head back in 10th grade, I became obsessed with the production’s pop/history/feminism mixture. The near infinite times I have listened to every single song on the soundtrack have put the album on my Spotify Wrapped for six years. With 90 minutes of almost nonstop singing and dancing, […]
Liam’s Looks
Fashion is how we present ourselves to the world, a way to communicate our personalities without speaking and signal to others who we might be. It is therefore incredibly important to understand this way of communicating and use it to the best of your ability. An easy way to step into fashion without being overwhelmed […]
A glance at Brandeis’ spring sports teams’ practice
To anyone that knows me, you know that I am incredibly unathletic and don’t typically pay attention to sports. Why, then, would I of all people be writing for the sports section? I am doing it for the same reason I also joined our ultimate frisbee team, TRON: to try out something new and learn. […]
