in defense of pumpkin spice lattes [post-pourri]
By Michelle Bi | October 16Nowadays, the first thing I see through my window when I wake up is bright scarlet leaves adorning the tree that ripples in the breeze by Alumnae Hall. I refuse to leave my dorm without throwing on a baggy pullover or cable-knit sweater. If you encounter me anytime between the hours of 2 and 5 p.m., ...

“Is It Too Much to Ask” for everyone to love Faye Webster? [A&C]

get off my lawn! [lifestyle]
By Daniella Coyle | October 9I was bouncing home along the cobblestones of this beautifully-old college town of ours, Seven Stars baguette in my tote, with just the implication of fall in the cooling air and the first curled leaves underfoot.

nature writing [narrative]
By Lynn Nguyen | October 9Holding my iPad against my body, I steadily lifted myself into the rolling chair. Once seated, I laid the tablet on my lap and peered out through the window.

living with friends [narrative]
By Ana Vissicchio | October 9Lately, I’ve had a lot of those mornings that when I wake up, time just stretches, and I feel gelatinous. Like Jell-O. I’ve had more of them than I can count.

juxtaposition [post-pourri]
By Tarini Malhotra | October 2From the window, I can see rain pelting down. I like the rain. It is one of those things in life that can make one feel contrasting emotions—joy and distress, optimism and cynicism, rejuvenation and numbness—all in equal measure.
