    “Nothing’s About to Happen to Me” pulled me out of senior psychosis

    There are select sounds that transport me back to a very specific time of my life, and the longing and heartwrenching lyrics of Mitski are one of them.

    “Reminders of Him” reminds that love lingers

    Going into “Reminders of Him,” I did not have high expectations due to it being another Colleen Hoover book adaptation.

    Movies teach lessons beyond entertainment

    Often, whether I am passing time on TikTok or Instagram, I find that much of my free moments are occupied by my beloved “scroll time.” While I also enjoy watching movies, to me, they require more commitment and attention.

  • Alex Honnold transcends human ability and cognition

    I have an intense fear of heights. Whenever I get too high up, I freeze, and I physically cannot move my body. Ironically, I love rock climbing, which, as one can probably assume, doesn’t meld well with a fear of heights. As much as I try, I cannot get my body to surpass the…
