As the holidays inch closer and the year winds down, the air gets chillier, sniffles seem to follow us everywhere, exam season taunt us and work somehow manages to pile up right before the celebrations begin. But despite the stress, one thing that keeps me going is focusing on the joy waiting just around the corner.
With only a few weeks of the NFL regular season left, there’s no better time to rank the top 10 teams! I’m hoping to gauge where these teams currently are as we enter the final stretch, and rank them in order of likelihood to win it all.
The Booker Prize — as defined by the foundation of the same name — is “the leading literary award in the English speaking world,” and it’s awarded to “the best sustained work of fiction written in English and published in the UK and Ireland.” On Nov. 12 of this year, the Booker Prize was announced. It was presented to a novel lauded in a unanimous decision by the panel: a novel with “capaciousness and resonance,” one boasting “beauty and ambition.”

With Thanksgiving not far behind in the rearview mirror, Heretic is a movie that may feel familiar to many viewers — even if you aren’t one of two young Mormon girls spreading the Word to an older atheist man who traps you in his house, subjecting you to Saw-like games. The reason for this is because Heretic is about more than religion itself, the movie focuses on the arguments in which religion is entrenched. The point of Heretic is not to question what religion is but to question how people interact with religion — specifically, the fine line between burning bridges and finding community.
Hi everyone, welcome back to another edition of Hopkins Sports in Review! After a great Thanksgiving break, the Blue Jays have returned back to action with some seasons wrapping up while others just begin. Come with us as we take a look at some of the best results from the week.
There’s a Maya Angelou quote that’s always resonated with me. It goes, “people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
I recently got coffee with a professor and I was, of course, ranting about school, classes, friendships and family. With a voice thick with frustration, I said, "People act like they're entitled to your time and energy.”
The bus ride to the med campus will never cease to amaze me. I love seeing the city shift with the seasons, passing through different neighborhoods and watching new parts of town fly by outside the window. There’s a word for this, and it’s on the tip of my tongue... ugh, what is it? In Spanish, the term would be recorriendo la ciudad.
Two weeks into starting college, I joined my first lab, a number of student clubs and enrolled in many pre-med classes. As a first generation student, it was safe to say I was led in a blind eye, never knowing which step was the right one. As long as I moved forward and kept on doing what I was doing, that was all that mattered.

It is 1994. She’s shopping at Pottery Barn with her boyfriend.
To go back to my one-square-mile hometown for Thanksgiving is to buckle my younger self into the passenger seat of my mom’s red Kia and take her for a drive. At every stop sign in my old high school parking lot, there is a new wave of nauseating nostalgia.
From the first time I stepped foot in New York City, I’ve been fascinated by it. The sense of relentless ambition and the feeling that everyone in the city was chasing a dream larger than themselves was completely intoxicating. Even further than that, I wanted to be one of those people: the person who was running from one place to another, trying to grasp any semblance of success that they could. It felt like the perfect place for someone like me: a girl who was always striving for something bigger than herself.
With the University’s reputation as a rigorous STEM environment, it is no surprise that the campus features students with robust experiences in computer science. One such student is Andreas Jaramillo — a junior majoring in Computer Science (CS). In an interview with The News-Letter, Jaramillo discussed his journey so far and his next steps in the field.
Wednesday, Nov. 6, 9:25 a.m. Leakin Hall, Peabody Institute. A studio that had once been filled with dynamic pulses of expectant energy had now been reduced to a foreboding hush. I caught myself avoiding the despondent stares of my peers as I walked apprehensively to my spot. Drafts of how I would one day illustrate where I was when “it” happened flooded my head. Within these floods, I attempted to search for a polished response to indicate my dissidence, but everything felt too forced. In the end, I had abandoned my grand gesture of outrage and took a seat among the mass of wary bodies.
