“What are you doing after you graduate? Where are you planning on going to college?” Those same questions arise in too many conversations, echoing in my head. I’ve gotten used to just telling people my long-term plans include donating organs and bodily fluids for money and living on whatever available... Read more »

So many hipsters in one line. I honestly did not know there could ever be that many hipsters, waiting in line to get into the Palladium Ballroom, waiting for Two Door Cinema Club to come on stage and start the show, waiting to forget their lives— if only for a few hours. It felt like a Dr. Seuss... Read more »

It’s difficult to explain to someone who isn't in the play. Someone who didn't stay after school until 5 or 6 p.m. four days a week. Someone who didn't have the honor of being involved with all of those wacky and wonderful people who make up the cast and crew of “Rough Magic.” Someone who didn't... Read more »

“If you are chronically down, it is a lifelong fight to keep from sinking ” ― Elizabeth Wurtzel, Prozac Nation The walls were beige and this was not helpful. They seemed uncomfortably professional and sad- the kind of vacant, sanitized atmosphere where character is replaced by a poster thoroughly... Read more »

There are a set of common etiquette rules all people are expected to follow whether at school or even just in their front yard.

Filed under Blogs, Entertainment Blog, Recent Stories

The argument is not an old one: Lady Gaga’s work derives generally from everyone who came before her — David Bowie, Madonna, Elton John and Grace Jones to name a few. Her aesthetic conjures imagery from nearly every decade and every genre of art and music. She’s an artistic encyclopedia, a combination... Read more »

Don’t you just abhor those sesquipedalian hotshots who use unnecessarily long words like “lugubrious” instead of “sad”? Do you feel as if the vast majority of concepts can be said using words that are five letters or less in length? Well, so do I. But I have a confession. Sometimes, I use long... Read more »

“I’ma let you finish.” -Kanye West Certain people get a pass to act however they want— Steve Jobs, Madonna, Elton John. They’ve earned rights beyond the rules of common courtesy.

You’ve all seen them. The people in the halls a little closer to each other than you wanted to see. The ones who think they’re “in love.” They hide in the corners of the stairwells, making things awkward for the lonely individuals on their way to first block. Well, it doesn’t work. Not on me.... Read more »

My First Love When in intermediate school, I remember being egged on by all my peers to kiss the boy I was “dating” (more or less talking on the phone with) at the time because that was the big deal. I was not about to let this challenge go. I planted a big ‘ol juicy kiss on that boy because of... Read more »
