If the 2021 F1 championship race embodied the song “Skyfall” by Adele, the lead up to the 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix was the epitome of “The Final Countdown” by Europe. I have been covering the 2025 F1 season since its kickoff in March, and the stories that have emerged were constant page turners. This was it, the race that would determine the Driver’s World Champion, the driver who would be allowed to change their number to 1 next season, the driver who would receive unparalleled prestige on the international stage.

As expected, my first semester at Hopkins yielded a welcome amount of intellectually stimulating conversations. Yet one that occurred recently has stuck in my mind. It prompted a thorough self-examination of my beliefs, which is a place I didn’t think I would reach after only a few months on campus.

Another sunset seeps through my windows, staying for a moment. It paints my white walls with an orange and pink tinge, the type of color you think of when a warm hand rests on your shoulder. Each ray of sunlight finds its place: on the mirror hanging from my door, on the boxes filled with my belongings and on the suitcases leaning against the wall.

I have a special affection for ceviche. It preserves the original texture of fish while balancing bright, fruity tinges in a sophisticated way. It also comes in varying forms. Each plate feels like a standalone piece of art, where ingredients and sauces shine together like a constellation.

Born from Prateek’s nostalgia for roadside chai in India and Kayla’s creative eye, Chachu’s Chai brings fresh spices, seasonal flavors and heartfelt community energy to Baltimore. Between rainy pop-ups, sliding-scale pricing and countless batches of lavender chai, the duo has built something far bigger than a drink. They tell their story in an interview with The News-Letter.

Following the soaring climax of “Defying Gravity” from 2024’s movie adaptation of the cultural phenomenon that is the Broadway musical Wicked, audiences everywhere have eagerly anticipated John M. Chu’s interpretation of the divisive Act 2. In Wicked: For Good, which landed in cinemas on the Nov. 21, the director delivers a spectacle that is... somewhat good?

I recently finished the latest season of Dancing With the Stars. For those who weren’t keeping up, Robert Irwin and his professional ballroom partner, Witney Carson, brought home the highly coveted Mirrorball trophy.

We’re getting to the time of year when it's easy to be lost in the past. The same red bows are tied on lampposts in parks and outside dingy shopping centers. The same massive wreaths decorate even more massive malls. But with every passing year, the bows seem a little more at eye level and the wreaths are a little smaller. You bake the same cookies, and then suddenly a research project on salmonella makes you no longer want to lick the batter out of the bowl. While wading through homework, I’ve been reflecting on the holidays, which used to be documented by where I performed and when, but can now be tallied by which Christmas movies I watch, which treats I decide to enjoy and which cities I want to visit.

Hey Alan,

For as long as I can remember, I’ve worn my heart on my face. Joy, love and contentment glimmer in my eyes even when I attempt to hide my smile. The lump in my throat when I’m hurt shows up in the set of my lips and the hoarseness of my voice. My hands move more when I’m excited and shake into fists in anger.

If one were to look up the definition of a traditional college football powerhouse, the Indiana Hoosiers would likely be the antithesis of that. Over the 127 seasons that Indiana has played, they have won only two conference titles, finished ranked in the final AP poll 7 times and won at least 10 games in a season once (last year). Until the last few weeks, Indiana had the most losses of any DI football program of all time, a stat that’s partially a product of how long the program has existed, but also due to perpetual mediocrity.

The FBI has arrested more than 30 players, coaches and other NBA affiliates in connection with an ongoing investigation into illegal gambling and insider betting. These indictments, which became unsealed in October, provide evidence of an alleged network of sports betting activity. They also exposed an underground poker operation, which they linked to organized crime. FBI director Kash Patel told the media that this was one of the largest gambling-related scandals in modern professional sports.

The longest U.S. government shutdown in history ended on Nov. 12 after 43 days, leaving millions of Americans facing interruptions to federal programs and funding. Throughout October, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which offers cash cards to Americans at or below 130% of the poverty line, allowing them to purchase basic food items, continued on reduced funding; however, any extended shutdowns beyond 30 days, can pose difficulties in maintaining SNAP benefits for recipients. In Maryland, 668,000 individuals, including 259,000 children, are enrolled in SNAP.

The Nexus of Open Science symposium took place on Nov. 14, bringing together leaders in neuroscience, clinical research, biomedical engineering and data science to explore topics ranging from FAIR data and software standards to improving the accessibility of AI tools in biomedical contexts like neuroimaging. Among the talks given, Georg Oeltzschner, Associate Professor of Radiology and Radiological Science at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, discussed a topic that may sound rather familiar to students with Organic Chemistry experience: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. To those without previous exposure, however, a NMR spectroscopy diagram may just look like a series of arbitrary peaks.

On Nov. 12, the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences’ Advanced Academic Programs (AAP) hosted Nicholas Eftimiades, assistant teaching professor of homeland security at Penn State Harrisburg, for another entry in the Intelligence Analysis program’s Inside Intelligence lecture series. Eftimiades, who holds over three decades of experience in federal intelligence, provided the audience with an in-depth explanation of the contemporary Chinese espionage scene.

Call me biased, but the worst snub this year for the Grammy nominations was The Weeknd – Abel Tesfaye. As Abel’s #1 fan (you’re talking to someone who is seriously considering getting a “Stargirl” tattoo), this year’s Grammy nominations were nothing short of criminal.

President Ronald Reagan established the month of November as National Diabetes Month to increase awareness about the disease that currently impacts more than 38 million people in the United States, with higher prevalence in American Indian and Alaska Native, Black and Hispanic populations.

Thanksgiving can be a tone-deaf holiday. As the year draws to a close, things don't seem to be going well for a lot of us. Whether our concerns are as grave as the political milieu of our country, as mundane yet end-of-the-world-inducing as finals or even as simple as adjusting to daylight savings time, there is just about always something picking at the deep space in our brains. And then — as if to counterbalance all this — comes a holiday that offers us the emotional equivalent of a no-good therapist: just eat and be grateful. Although Thanksgiving is sometimes seen as a superficial holiday preaching forced positivity, it is still an opportunity to appreciate small things and shape the holiday in ways that are unique to each of us.

The idea of being a “Pilates Princess” has never been so appealing. Under the stress of unending midterms (which should be called infinite-terms), it seems like taking care of one’s health is an impossible task. So imagine our excitement when we found out that Hopkins offers free Pilates classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays for all affiliates at the Rec.

Mocha and Pearl was founded by Rojeena Thapa as a place where comfort, creativity and community come together.
