Love Songs for a Single Pringle on Valentine's Day
Now, more than ever, Valentine’s Day is synonymous with the fear of missing out (on relationships). As an introvert, I find music to be the perfect escape from the prevalence of social isolation. If you too are a self-proclaimed “single pringle” this Valentine’s season, look no further than this curated list of songs — they're sure to evoke a pseudo-relationship feeling.

The Dangers of Delivery Apps
One of my newfound discoveries during quarantine, besides Animal Crossing and Spotify Premium, was Doordash—the ability to instantly order from my favorite restaurants (especially the local ones) with the convenience of never leaving my couch. In fact, these delivery apps were so much so part of peoples' lives this year that revenues from these apps grew 226% in 2020 alone .

Six Korean Artists to Listen to If You Are Not Into K-pop
In the past several years, K-pop has, quite literally, taken over the world. Fear not — I don’t mean world domination, but rather a new genre of music and culture that has spread outside its origin country of Korea. Whether you’ve heard of K-pop through the talk of BTS performing at the Grammy Awards or Blackpink appearing on SNL, there is a good chance K-pop has wiggled its way into the vast horizons of your mind.

The Five Stages of Course Registration
It’s that time of the year again. Yes, Thanksgiving and Black Friday, but also the dreaded week of Spring course registration. Despite having 24 more credits since the last time I registered for classes, I face the same dilemma: watching the classes/sections I want agonizingly be filled until my time slot.

It's Time to Get Rid of the Electoral College: A Look at Voter Suppression
I remember first learning about the Electoral College not through a U.S. history class, but by stumbling upon a five-minute video on YouTube ten years ago, made by a guy who eerily reminded me of Crash Course. Less than a decade has passed since then and yet the points mentioned are more relevant than ever — the Electoral College is flawed.

The Rise (and Fall?) of Shein and Online Fast Fashion
If you’re anything like me (that is, a hermit), you’ve probably seen dozens of YouTube hauls, articles, and even TikToks about Shein , a fast-fashion online retailer that sells hundreds of goods for affordable prices. In an era where online shopping is at an all-time high, it’s no surprise Shein has managed to become a topper in its industry.

Disney Channel Movies to Get You in the Mood for Halloween
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. No, I’m not talking about Christmas; it’s almost Halloween! While not so much part of my life anymore—especially in the midst of a pandemic—Halloween has always held a special place in my heart. Quite possibly the only reason why I still have cable television is to watch Halloween movies. More specifically, Disney Channel Halloween movies.

The Grueling Journey of Permanently Straightening My Hair
Growing up, my hair was—surprisingly—straight. Yup, up until the 6th grade, I had the privilege of only pulling my hair up in a ponytail as my daily morning routine. Granted, my hair wasn’t silky-smooth or stick-straight, but it was straight enough that I never dared to go near a heat tool. Of course, the title of this article wouldn’t make sense if my hair was always this way.

What to Watch on Hulu
At the start of the whole online-class, eviction from dorms fiasco, I decided to sign up for a streaming service. Granted, it was about time. It’s been two years since I had Netflix and I took to only watching movies from Amazon Prime. If you take it upon yourself to sign up for Hulu, here are some of my recommendations.

Why COVID-19 is the Key to Changing U.S. Healthcare
For years, there have been pushes towards strengthening the United States healthcare system. And only now have we seen that the key to this isn’t a progressive presidential candidate or even pure policy, but rather a worldwide pandemic. That’s right — COVID-19 may just be the thing that changes American healthcare

Social Distancing: One Small Action for One Large Nation
Social distancing is defined as staying away from other people in order to avoid catching or spreading a virus. Whether this is skipping a concert you purchased tickets for, forgoing the latest movie out in theatres, or simply not making plans for brunch, all of these contribute to the act of staying socially distant and healthy.
