During the NFL’s halftime show, Lady Gaga stood in front of what we think of as fireworks. Instead of gun powder and sulfur, they used propellers, LEDs and high tech positioning software. However, the drones Intel developed can do much more than organize themselves into an American flag. Drones have made their way to...

I received an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for an honest review I’d like to begin this review with a public service announcement. This message is for all men, fictional or not, young or old, single or taken: Never, and I mean never, use the word “hella” in a sentence. I know what you’re thinking,...

After ending a two year relationship and creating one of his most bare projects at the time, Kanye West released an album that is the antithesis of what “808’s & Heartbreaks” was. “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” is not just a return to the anti-corporation backpacker. This was an artist that has matured and gave you...

I was given an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. For as long as I’ve been able to comprehend the written word, I’ve been a reader. I remember walking through the halls of my school with my nose in a novel, staying up past my bedtime with a book and a flashlight under my covers and...

If you’re tired of cycling between the same spots on campus for lunch, there are plenty of options within a ten-minute drive of UH. The Third Ward is home to a surprising variety of restaurants, for meat-lovers and vegans alike.   Frenchy’s Chicken Price Range: $ Located on the edge of UH, the original Frenchy’s...

If you’re taking relationship advice from a magazine, you’ve already made the wrong choice. What most consumer media won’t tell you is that their full-proof plan to get you married by the age of 25 is nothing more than advice that you will never get the opportunity to use because you aren’t a character from a 90s...

  Depending on the depth of your wallet, Valentine’s Day can be stressful. There are so many chocolates and stuffed animals the stores promise they’ll love. That said, Valentine’s should be a day focused on fun (wholesome or otherwise), and not on the gift.  If you still want to make the gesture, here’s some gift ideas...

Valentine’s Day means something different to every person. It can be a day full of love, a crude reminder that true love has always escaped you, or a day to gag at your friends’ “cute” Instagram pictures. It can also be a disappointment if someone doesn’t live up to your expectations, an excuse to drink up and hook...

Literary whiplash, a new phrase I’d like to coin, refers to the mental blow a reader suffers when main characters change opinions rapidly and with too much frequency. Not only have I invented this genius phrase (you’re welcome, world), I consider myself its first victim. When I stumbled across Lauren Layne’s...

Oh Valentine’s’ Day, you media-backed, loneliness-shaming, tacky-red-and-pink-decoration-sequined corporate joke of a holiday—why must I always be vexed by you? Why have I never spent one of you with someone nice? Was it too much to ask for a pleasant Valentine’s’ Day with that girl who tried to stab me with a fork? Or...
