Chapter 1: Feet, meet floor
When my girlfriend visited a couple weeks ago, I suddenly became self-conscious of how bland and messy my room looked. Despite it being week six, moving boxes still sat unopened and the decorations I brought lay on the floor untouched. For the record, I think of myself as a clean person. But with my new apartment, I had excused myself because this space felt temporary.
When I was little, I always hoped I would get glasses. I used to believe that somehow my vision would diminish enough for me to wear them, that my braces could match the lenses perched on my nose. Only with glasses, I thought, could I truly see who I wanted to become. Perhaps then, I could see the future clearly.

This week, we grapple with Halloween hangover and the countdown to fall recess. In this liminal space on the calendar, days feel like weeks. However, have no fear — the Arts section is here with this week’s installment of To Watch and Watch For, our specially curated list to help you keep track of time while also whiling it away, beginning with these four personal recommendations.
A commanding start
I had marked the Friday night I was going to watch Taylor Swift: The Official Release Party of a Showgirl in theaters on my calendar for weeks. The weeks leading up to the official release date of The Life of a Showgirl, the latest album by the prolific showgirl herself, Taylor Swift, were filled with anticipation. On Oct. 3, the moment I got to press play on that album at midnight, I felt something completely electrifying: excitement, nerves and, above all, the certainty that I was about to witness a turning point in the music industry. And then, just a few days later, I got to experience the album release documentary that Swift prepared for her loyal fans to see in theaters all over the world. By the end of this experience, closing out release weekend for me, I was left smiling and more than satisfied with the 12 new additions to my daily rotation of songs. This album is everything I wanted it to be, even if not everyone agrees.
How often do you feel alone nowadays? Is it never? More than before? Did the constant barrage of bright lights and flashing faces on your phone screen make you feel more or less isolated? Somewhere in the radio waves and ethernet cable signals, did we ship away our humanity — our ability to connect?
The subject of Henrietta Lacks remains an enduring mark of criticism on Hopkins as a reminder that scientific advancement has often come at the cost of ethical accountability. This legacy continues to be honored and examined today through events such as the annual Henrietta Lacks Memorial Lecture at Hopkins, an event that occurred recently on Oct. 4. This recent conversation sparked my renewed interest in one of my favorite books, Next by Michael Crichton.
After three back-to-back films fixating on the nature of human desire and love, Luca Guadagnino’s newest release, After the Hunt, forgoes his past thematic patterns in favor of a story meant to examine the ethical struggles of various power dynamics in higher education. Specifically, After the Hunt follows an up-for-tenure college professor, Alma Imhoff (Julia Roberts), whose protégé, Maggie Resnick (Ayo Edeberi), accuses her colleague and professor, Hank Gibson (Andrew Garfield), of sexual assault.
I am sitting on a fuzzy pink pillow in the apartment of my trainer, Dua, and I am about to share my whole life story from beginning to end with a group of five strangers.
On Oct. 28, the Student Government Association (SGA) came together for their weekly meeting. They discussed November tabling, the updated transparency act and recent changes to the positions document.
We had already seen Khalid in the summer at World Pride 2025, so the excitement that Hopkins finally had a somewhat mainstream artist for Hoptoberfest 2025 dwindled between us. Nevertheless, I donned my favorite pair of jeans and halter-top combo, and I giddily ran to the end of the line on Oct. 24.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm, Sweden awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Susumu Kitagawa (Kyoto University, Japan), Richard Robson (University of Melbourne, Australia) and Omar M. Yaghi (University of California, Berkeley).
On Wednesday, Oct. 22 the Hopkins Lecture Series hosted an event titled, “An Evening in Conversation with Bradley Steven Perry.” This event marked the second event in the Hopkins Lecture Series’ Voices of Tomorrow Fall Speaker Series.
