Do you love poetry? Even if you don't, now is the time to delve into the work of Maria Rilke.

Do you love poetry? Even if you don't, now is the time to delve into the work of Maria Rilke.

Franz Kappus was my age, 19 years old, when, suffocated by his future career in the military despite his artistic inclinations, wrote a letter to one of the most renowned German-language poets, Rainer Maria Rilke. Letters to a Young Poet is a compilation of Rilke’s letters in their years of missiv...

Adele's album "30" has been out for just under a month. To celebrate the singer, jump into this exploration of her career, and maybe discover a hidden gem that you haven't heard before!

Following a six year hiatus, Adele finally broken her silence with the release of a new single, “Easy On Me.” In typical Adele fashion, the song contained gut wrenchingly introspective lyrics and became an instant success, reaching over 24 million listens in 24 hours and gaining popularity on so...

Do you miss Autumn? Fall back into the feeling of the season with this curated playlist of music with Autumnal vibes!

This past summer I had a difficult time finding new music that pulled me in. I kept reverting back to the same tired playlists, the same catchy beats that had lost their freshness with repeated listening. But this October, my musical repertoire was reinvigorated with the discovery (or in some cases,...

Are you trying to be more sustainable, but don't know where to start? Try starting with your wardrobe! Here's a handy guide about shopping for clothing in an eco-friendly way.

There’s a million different things impacting climate change, and with a mere 100 companies being responsible for 71% of the world’s carbon emissions, it can seem like there’s little that we consumers can do about it. On the contrary, our purchasing power can influence brands to modify what the...

As a video-sharing platform, YouTube is home to a lot of content, some more toxic than others. One of our writers makes a case for rural living videos on the platform, and how they provide a calmer space than videos about life in LA.

Whenever I’m not in the mood to watch something on Netflix or Hulu, I hop on YouTube. And when I think of YouTube, I think of all my favorite channels and YouTubers. Sure, YouTubers like Emma Chamberlain and Hannah Meloche are totally binge-worthy, but something about their channels feels so exclu...

Finneas' most recent album has been out for a few months now. One of our writers reflects on how it indicates a promising future for the music industry.

When preparing for the release of a debut album, many artists are encouraged to “play it safe.” They should tailor their music and tracklist to the listeners, curate the album in a way that will guarantee it a spot on the charts, and stick with the current music trends. In his debut album Optimi...

The climate change movement is ongoing and ever-changing. One of our writers examined why the movement needs more writer-activists, and the unique strengths they can bring to the cause.

This past summer, I took an online class from Stanford University called “Why is Climate Change So Unbelievable?” It was an awesome interdisciplinary course that examined the reasons why society isn’t taking the necessary steps to combat climate change, and brought together people from differe...

Are you bicultural? One of our writers thought about what it means to her to be bicultural, especially during Latinx/Hispanic Heritage month.

Even though this was my eighteenth year having the ability to celebrate a month so ingrained in the history of my cultural roots, it’s one of my more recent years doing so. I didn’t fully recognize Latinx/Hispanic Heritage Month until my sophomore year of high school. One, I felt as though my ho...

Now, more than ever, people are turning to psychics, palm-readers, and tarot cards for guidance. But how much should you really trust your psychic?

Spiritualism provides hope and a community for people to be a part of. But it can become toxic when readers take advantage of their client’s vulnerability as they commit themselves to a belief that relies on trusting someone with little-to-no evidence of truth. Despite not being able to prove the ...

If you have curly hair, then you know how much of a love-hate relationship with yourself having curls can produce. Here's how curly hair impacted one of our writer's self-esteem.

When it comes to hair, the grass is always greener. Someone with straight hair will say how much they wish they had curly hair and vice versa. Though, I believe people with curly hair actually have a reason to want straight hair; they long to rid themselves of the burden with which curly hair provid...

Whether you're working on your finals, or just hit with a big case of Seasonal Affective Disorder, we could all use a little bit of comfort right now. Here's ten comforting movies to indulge in!

There’s absolutely nothing better than cuddling up in bed and watching a movie after a long and exhausting day. The pressures to socialize and go out every night are unrealistic and insurmountable. Oftentimes, we just need a night in. Alone time is crucial, and for those out there who are introver...

Even though it's cold outside, we're still thinking about summertime car rides.

As a kid, I never liked driving for a long time in the car. My attention span was relatively short, and as a result, I constantly pestered my parents with the usual “are we there yet?”, or needed to be entertained by the unusual combination of Barbie movies and “I spy with my little eye…”....
