By Paige Auxier Edited by Taylor Morgan SELDA / @10sna on Pinterest Next month, I will officially enter my early twenties and will thus be leaving my adolescence behind. I have thought a lot about this transition, and, in doing so, I have determined that I regard the prospect of growing up with a jumbled sense of dread, apprehension, hope and overwhelming excitement. I have also realized, though, that a large part of the nerves I feel in regard to moving past my teen years ar

Even if it’s just a day-trip or a quick stop, here’s a list of eight underrated places you should add to your travel bucket list for the summer:  Camden, Maine  A classic New England coastal and harbor town.

By Noelle George Edited by Taylor Morgan LEONORA / @leonorasplace on Pinterest It’s that time of year again! Well, almost—the warm spring days sprinkled in between the cold and rain are back to remind us that it’s spring, which means it’s time for spring cleaning. Being back outside for the first time after being inside all winter, opening my windows and soaking in the sunshine are all great mood boosters. Still, in my opinion, there's nothing better than going into the new s

In fact, the third season had 45.1 million views in its opening weekend. Fans are constantly looking forward to the next project, with the fifth season already beginning filming at some point this month. There are hopes of another spinoff after the success of “Queen Charlotte” as well, and I would personally like Violet Bridgerton’s past to be f

By Harper Sabin Edited by Taylor Morgan Theories have long suggested the link between economic development and the trends that dominate the fashion industry. From the Hemline Index to the Lipstick Effect, women’s fashion has been under scrutiny based on what shifts are being made in the financial world.  Are we overzealous with what we deem a “recession indicator”?  ASSA NAER / @fcharlie on Pinterest Not only are theories such as the Hemline Index long outdated, but they also

From asking a friend where their new sweatshirt is from, to seeing the same product pop up on your for-you page to walking down TJ Maxx aisles, it’s easy to find yourself making unnecessary, but fun, purchases.  We are constantly bombarded with messages that we need more.

By Caroline Albert Edited by Taylor Morgan With the ever-growing influence of technology on our daily lives, our interpersonal skills have slowly started to decline. The comfort level with talking to a stranger has become more difficult as more than half of our interactions are now behind a screen.  LINA / @linagrille on Pinterest The screen makes it easier to find the courage to text someone you are too scared to talk to in person. You can overthink, rethink and rewrite ever

By Sara Kaufman Edited by Taylor Morgan Dear Reader, Have you had to deal with rejection recently? It feels especially common on college campuses. We all feel we have to compete for professors' attention, to get into a club, during sorority recruitment and more. Yet as much as we want to, we do not always “win” in these situations. Everyone has had to deal with rejection at some point in their lives, no matter the extremes. While it is impossible to measure the frequency of

How he has handled negativity with such composure has shaped me in countless ways. In hockey, a Game 7 is the final game in a best-of-seven series. It’s the decider. Every shift matters. The stakes are high. And my dad had the opportunity to play in a

By Harper Sabin Edited by Taylor Morgan Music and fashion have long intertwined in the web of culture, with their roots running deep in the purest forms of self-expression. From the scandalous nature of jazz music and feminine-empowered dress to the nineties grunge movement, venting anger through plaid and disheveled garments, the two have influenced each other through the strength of individuality.  DONNY RICKYANTO / @donnyrickyanto on Pinterest Musicians have served as stro

By Kaitlin McDowell Edited by Taylor Morgan If I learned anything from this year’s winter Olympics, which closed February 22, it's that Olympians are just like us—but so much better.  In Milan’s winter games, the United States took home 12 gold medals, eight of which were won by female athletes. Team USA finished second overall, and female-won medals accounted for 63.6% of our total medals. The women’s hockey team also took home gold, but honestly, they probably budget extra
