New Faces in Film

Falling in Love With Faces We’ve Never Seen Before By Samantha Rosenberg By Allie Lin I’m so bored of seeing the same exact cast in every single movie. I mean, Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Robert Pattinson were featured in more than three major blockbuster films each this past summer. This is not to discredit them. There’s no mistaking why they keep being the main stars in many productions. If anything, their constant features reiterate the power and talent they have in the indu

“The Easy Major”

An examination of the not-so-hidden misogyny disguised as jokes. by Isabella Hobbs Spending time on a college campus or scrolling through social media can almost guarantee that you will encounter the same running joke: certain college majors are “easy.” This joke reflects a cultural bias— a belief that certain fields, specifically humanities-based majors, such as communications, English, hospitality, and teaching, are somehow less impressive.

We Need To Talk

(specifically about avoiding difficult conversations) Sophia Ong Photograph by Carina McCallum My least favorite trope in books is the “miscommunication trope.” You know–the one where an event or verbal exchange is taken one way by one character, another way by the other, and they sulk in secrecy for 70% of the story before finally having the Conversation That Fixes Everything. I’m left shaking at my Kindle, thinking: “Just talk to each other!” Frustratingly, the miscommunic
