I found astronomyy on a music playlist by This is Glamorous almost a year ago–they released a new EP, When I’m With U, yesterday. This EP couldn’t have been released at a better time. At one point, astronomyy’s first EP, There for U, was a soundtrack to my life. I’d imagine that When I’m With […]

We want to know where our food comes from—why wouldn’t we also think about where our clothing comes from? Two years have passed since the Rana Plaza collapse, one of the most tragic industrial disasters in recent history. Over 1,100 died and 2,500 more were injured—the worst part is that not much has changed for […]
Read MoreI’ve either driven past Redwood or stopped in briefly to drop posters at the front desk, but I never went on a proper tour until last weekend with my parents. The Redwood Library and Athenaeum is the oldest library in the United States. Chartered in 1747 and built in 1750, it’s actually older than the […]
Read MoreI finally jumped on the SoundCloud bandwagon and I don’t know why I haven’t been using it until now. One of my favorite blogs, This is Glamorous, shares their weekend playlists using SoundCloud–in fact, through this blog, I fell in love with astronomy.

Here’s a look at what you can get for the $35 […]
Read MoreBonne anniversaire to the French Film Festival, which is celebrating its tenth year in Newport! I did miss the festival last year, but I went the year before in 2013 for a class and loved it. My goal for this year’s festival is to watch all of the films… we’ll see how that goes. The […]
Read More#icanteven is off of The Neighbourhood’s #000000 & #FFFFFF Mixtape. It’s a bit of a departure from their usual stuff, but I think it suits them. This music video dropped two weeks ago:
Read MoreI decided to enter Newport Life Magazine’s 5th Annual Writing Contest with a fictional piece and it ended up getting published in the March/April 2015 issue. Considering how much I had to condense this piece to fit the 750-word count, I think it came out decently, but you can read it and judge for yourself… […]
Read MoreAfter finishing reading Lena Dunham’s book, I’m still deciding how I feel about it. I did enjoy reading it… I think. As a millennial, reading this book requires a self-reflection. There were several times where I felt frustrated with Dunham’s vignettes, the same way I had grown accustomed being annoyed with Hannah’s character on Girls, […]
