What would the holidays be without parties? Whether you want to host a Friendsgiving, holiday gift exchange or a New Year’s Eve bash, the basic rules of how to host a party remain the same. For me personally, I learned everything I know about party throwing from Martha Stewart and the Sims, and I feel like this...
Winter breaks can be rough. We spend the entire semester dreaming about all you’re going to do once you have five minutes to breathe, and then December rolls around and we forget all of our nice plans. You (and yes, I am projecting) waste days in bed watching Vine compilations on your phone, only getting up to do your...

For the first time since “The Joy Luck Club” in 1993, a film focusing on the hardships of Asian-Americans with an all Asian cast made its way to the big screen with summer rom-com “Crazy Rich Asians.” I remember watching the movie in theaters with popcorn in hand and tears running down my face. This wasn’t due to the...
In the 1980’s, while the U.S. was under Reagan’s reigns, bands like Black Flag, Minor Threat and the Dead Kennedys helped form a generation that is now old enough to be in the forefronts of the political sphere.
