    Album Review: Harry Styles- Kiss All The Time, Disco Occasionally

    Kate Schifano

    Harry Styles Didn’t Make a Disco Album. He Made Something More Relatable. There’s no other place on earth like the sidewalk outside of a bar. I’ve perhaps spent more time there, in fact, than inside the bar.  I’ve pressed my back against humidity-wet walls, let the night air cool my flushed cheeks, and tangle my…

    The Art Of Redemption

    Siwaphiwe Matha

    Some days it feels like yesterday was a decade ago Somehow, time seems to be moving slowly, and reality is out of grip It seems the seeds I had once planted Are now rotten with pain heightened Weeds are monthly restored But they only take a drag from my soul and leave me sweating, screaming…

    Greece- Hellenic Glory

    Adiela Michael

    I am Greece Daughter of the Mediterranean, I birthed democracy, My soil is rich in fables Poets thrive in me. Ah Athens Capital of mythology, My thoughts are here They reside in you What a memory you are. Ah Sparta Strength is your name, My history is incomplete without you Your king brought fame to…

    A Love Letter To: Growing Up With Hilary Duff

    Savannah Byus

    First of all, Lizzie McGuire had such an impact on my childhood; my fifth birthday party was Lizzie McGuire-themed in pre-K. And this photo still hangs on the wall of my parents’ house. A “back-to-school-esque photo” when I was about 7 and starting first grade. It was taken at the mall by an old photo…

    She Continues To Believe In Fairytales

    Image Source: Pexels- Rachel Claire When Elle was a little girl, she loved reading fairytales, but once she turned twenty-five, she was afraid she wouldn’t meet her Prince Charming. It is said in most fairytales that a curse can be broken by a true love’s kiss, but how could that happen if no handsome men…

    You Can’t Edit A Blank Page – Why I Love Messy First Drafts!

    Claire Walsh-Jones

    Last month, I talked about my long, drawn-out journey to being a writer.  I offered some sage advice: “If you want to be a writer, write!” And yes, I really do believe it’s that simple. Your writing will start with a first draft, and I love a messy first draft because it means there have…

    North West’s Fashion Debut: Could This Be The Resurrection Of The Tweenagehood?

    Julia Cawele

    If there’s a gap in the market, the Kardashians are quick to claim it.  Recently, it was announced that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s 12-year-old daughter, North West, is set to release her own clothing line. In February, reports revealed that three trademarks had been filed for the tween in plans to start her own…

  • The Heart Vs The Algorithm

    The Heart Vs The Algorithm

    Habibul Bashar

    No code can dream, no bot can cry, It cannot love; it cannot try. It copies words, it steals the song, But fails to feel where hearts belong. For love and loss are ours to keep, The code will fade, but we are deep. It mimics art with borrowed grace, But cannot match a tear-stained…

  • When My Time Flies

    When My Time Flies

    Luna Baic

    When my final moment arrives. I hope that the birds will sing. That the sun shines brighter than ever before. That the laugh of children echoes. And that I live on. In the songs. In the memories. And in the hearts of those I once touched. A sign that I once belonged to this world.…

    The End Of Daytime Tv? What The Cancellation of The Sherri Show And The Kelly Clarkson Show Says About The Future Of Daytime Viewing

    Julia Cawele

    Daytime TV, as we knew it, has shifted to the back in its position as a driving force for culture and conversation. In the last 5 years, we have seen several daytime talk shows leave our screens. Staples in the US like the Wendy Williams Show, The Real, and the celebrity-circuit favourite The Ellen Show…

    Juliet An

    I knew it from the start That you are a superstar Everyone’s around you Following like a tail And you love it all (attention) And it’s annoying (following) I’m not saying that you seek attention But you said it yourself That you are an attention seeker You were just alone I know it, and you…
