1-Across: “Go with the ___”
On Oct. 13, at noon, the Hopkins Organization for Programming (HOP) introduced the fall concert artist for Hoptoberfest: Khalid.
The morning I lost my voice, I thought it would be a minor inconvenience — a sore throat, maybe a quiet day or two. Nothing I hadn’t survived before. I had forgotten that I was in college now, where when I’m sick, I can’t rely on the comforts and silence of my home. Speaking, something that had always felt like such an effortless task, was more imperative than ever, so I guess it took losing it to understand its value.
I used to think closeness was a grade I had to earn. If I were easy, uncomplaining, funny on demand and bent to their interests, then friends would keep me. On bad days, I'd check notifications as if they were emergencies. On good days I told myself I didn’t need anyone at all. Between those two postures, constantly anxious or apathetic, was a yearning: I wanted to feel safe with people, and I wanted to feel safe with myself.
As a college football fan, I am constantly bombarded by folks on the internet claiming that NIL, the new system through which college athletes can get paid, and the 12-team playoff have ruined college football. People point to how the transfer portal has created a system where players are chasing money instead of remaining loyal to their team. However, they are just looking back nostalgically on a system where the same teams won every year. I think these pundits are completely wrong. This current system is by far the most entertaining college football has been in my lifetime and has fixed a system that exploited young athletes for decades.
I know everyone is eagerly awaiting our two days of freedom from class and the relaxing long weekend it affords us. While we’re all studying into the night for the barrage of exams professors give before break, don’t forget that Hopkins sports teams are still playing and you can take some much needed breaks to catch the excitement. So let’s dive into another week of Hopkins Sports in Review, and remember to continue supporting our teams and show some Blue Jay spirit!
Fall break is on the horizon, and the temperature is finally starting to approach the 50s (in degrees Fahrenheit — that’s around 10 degrees Celsius for all ye non-Americans). In other words, it’s the perfect time to grab a blanket, cozy up and immerse yourself in your new favorite watch, read or album and take the break to explore some of the wonderful live events this week.
What happens when the fantasy of college life collides with deadlines, midterms and pressure?
Everything you know about me: miss nothing. Use all your memory and understand me completely. I need one word reflecting my single most significant flaw.
Paul Thomas Anderson has an obsession with the past. His dynamic body of work is vast and varied in genre, but all of his films operate with a sort of disinterest in the modern world. He has several pictures backdropped by the ‘70s (Boogie Nights and Licorice Pizza), a few post-war stories (The Master and Phantom Thread) and a historical epic in the late 19th century (There Will Be Blood). Even Punch-Drunk Love, his most contemporary film until now, with phone sex lines and ‘80s songs, is more fascinated with remnants of the past than it is interested in being a present-day love story. One Battle After Another is different; it’s today’s most relevant love story of a father and a daughter in the midst of eerily familiar political turmoil.
Last year around this time, I shared the secret weapon I had discovered in my lifelong battle with a stutter: the beat. The relentless, driving rhythm of a hip-hop track was more than music — it was a blueprint for fluency. I could speak with a force and clarity that felt both superhuman and, somehow, like the most authentic version of myself.
I clicked on The Summer I Turned Pretty out of mild curiosity as I was starting my junior year of high school. I was having a hard time adjusting to school and the infamous junior year workload. I’d just spent six weeks in the Berkshire Mountains surrounded by nature, music and people who shared similar passions, and now I was dragging myself to early morning Biology and Latin classes. To get myself out of bed faster, I decided that I would watch a few minutes of a show every morning while I was eating breakfast. This would persuade me to a) get ready for the day faster, b) actually eat breakfast and c) be a little less upset about school. I picked the show because I didn’t want to watch anything I’d get too drawn into and want to binge, and it didn’t look like the kind of thing I’d actually want to watch. Four years later, I spent this summer at the edge of my seat, worrying that the main character would pick the wrong brother.
On Oct. 7, the Student Government Association (SGA) met Hopkins Dining and Student Health and Well-Being (SHWB) to hold dialogue on student concerns. Then, following the conclusion of the freshmen elections last week, SGA confirmed their new members.
On Sept. 21, the Hopkins swim team participated in the Swim Across America (SAA) event in Baltimore to raise money for cancer research at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins Medicine. They attend this event annually, as it allows them to make waves to support a good cause that is especially meaningful since they are able to support a Hopkins-associated initiative.
The University announced the construction of the roughly 500,000 square foot Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (DSAI) building on Aug. 3, 2023. The University intends to build the institute at the intersection of Wyman Park Drive and Remington Avenue. Many neighboring residents have expressed concerns about structural damage and loss of wildlife in Wyman Park, specifically around Stony Run Creek. The News-Letter investigated student opinion on DSAI construction’s potential effects on the environment.
On Friday, Oct. 3rd, the Sheridan Libraries and University Museums at Hopkins hosted “From Heidelberg to Baltimore: What Johns Hopkins University Owes the Oldest German University,” the latest installation in the Lunch with the Libraries & Museums discussion series.
Thelma Escobar, an assistant professor of biochemistry at the University of Washington, presented at the Hopkins Department of Biology’s Seminar Series on Thursday, Sept. 25, 2025. She discussed the progress her lab has recently made regarding chromatin modifications in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and the adaptive immune system.
