If you’re anything like me, as finals roll around, readings that you haven’t finished over the semester start to catch up with you and spots in the Brody Reading Room get harder and harder to come by, sometimes you start to ask yourself: is all the stress of a Hopkins education worth it? As a graduating Writing Seminars/Italian double major, I’m not entirely sure.

The way I see it, I’d rather be alone on Valentine’s Day than date any of my gentleman callers at press time. (Read: There are none.) Besides, hanging out with my guy friends at school has given me an insight into the male psyche that terrifies me. Hopkins men put duct tape on the carpet so they know that when dirt starts to take the shape of their name they know they need to vacuum. They try to convince you it’s totally normal to write narrative poems about the Playboy Mansion. They add more water to a bottle of shampoo instead of walking to Eddie’s to buy a new bottle. All evidence points to me, myself and a bottle of wine this Valentine’s Day, and I’m looking forward to it.

Your coffee order is music to Ryan Botwinik’s ears. No, seriously — the Daily Grind’s newest barista is largely the reason the Brody Learning Commons Café’s employees have taken to singing their customers’ coffee orders this semester.

The News-Letter sat down with freshman Sarah White and sophomore Ellen Bruner, two such playwrights, to learn about their writing process, their productions and what is coming up next for Witness Theater.

I am not an athlete by any means. I picked clovers in the soccer field when I was eight, won the “Enthusiasm Award” from my summer camp volleyball team and was picked last for every team in high school gym, ever.

The way I see it, it’s not a new season unless a celebrity’s released nudie pics.

If you combined Bon Jovi’s sheer rockability with everything that’s California cool, you’d probably have someone a lot like Switchfoot’s lead singer Jon Foreman — and that’s a good thing. Even in the last row of Rams’ Head Live last Wednesday, the band’s energy and passion was palpable, in no large part to do with Foreman’s stage presence.

So it didn’t start with a whisper: Neon Trees actually started out at an In-N-Out Burger. The News-Letter caught up with lead singer Tyler Glenn to discuss what it’s like having your song on Glee, the story behind the band’s unique music videos and, of course, his not-so-secret love of Sex and the City.

If you haven’t heard any of Switchfoot’s songs since “Dare You to Move” blew up airwaves in 2005, you’re missing out.

A summer internship at a teen magazine can do strange things to a writer. Around this time last year, I was studying in Chocolatea, listening to Bon Iver; now, I could tell you what Miley Cyrus is doing at any given moment.

If you don't know what Coachella is, then that's okay, but I will judge you wholeheartedly for your lack of musical taste. Coachella is. . .the Coachella of music festivals. It's a yearly Woodstock with more musical acts, more celebrities, more hipsters and more drugs. This year's lineup included The Black Keys, Swedish House Mafia, the Arctic Monkeys, Radiohead, Bon Iver, The Shins, David Guetta, Feist, Florence + the Machine, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, Avicci, Calvin Harris and the Hives. In other words? The $335 tickets actually caused this aspiring music journalist to have an intense moral debate as to whether or not work the corner of North Charles & 33rd Street in order to begin a Coachella fund. Alas, dear readers, I instead decided to keep my dignity intact and watch the musical acts via YouTube from the comforts of my dorm room. Upon doing so, I have come to several conclusions: 1. According to the Coachella website, "The most popular way to experience Coachella is to camp on the polo grounds." I do not do camping. However, the fact that the safari package includes a shakir style tent with showers, bathroom facilities, a yoga village, late night snacks and a farmers' market, I am beginning to reconsider my definition of what it means to be outdoorsy. Oh, and did I mention that the Coachella staff will drive you to the concert(s) of your choice in a golf cart? Yes, I most definitely want in. 2. Coachella is most definitely an excuse to dress like you're a boho hipster and/or have tripped out on acid and to wear no clothes at all. Since I have recently decided I should become fashionable, I think my wardrobe would benefit from buying copious amounts of crochet, printed dresses and rompers. 3. Speaking of the widespread drug use that would trouble this neurotic and frazzled editor, I have come to the conclusion that, upon attending Coachella, I would find amusements such as tripped-out people thinking that a hologram of Tupac was, in fact, a resurrected version of the rapper extremely entertaining. Also, I would be the first one to take paparazzi shots of Rihanna rolling some sort of smokeable substance off of her bodyguard's head. All's fair in love and journalism. 4. Back to that Tupac hologram. Can they bring that back with Dick Clark come New Year's Eve so that I never have to hear Ryan Seacrest host anything else ever again? If they can't work that out, I want Stanley Tucci, ?? la Ceasar Flickerman, to host A Rockin' New Years' Eve, partly because I liked his blue hair, partly because I've become obsessed with The Hunger Games and mostly because I like the unnatural pauses in his voice. So there you have it, dear readers: an anthropological study of Coachella from my laptop. If any of you would like to contribute to the "Devin Alessio Coachella Fund," I'll be on the corner with the homeless man from Subway and a clever cardboard sign and a contribution jar.
