“Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
This summer was a season to remember for the film community. Film after film was released, box office records were broken and people swarmed the movie theaters, eager to watch the sequels of their favorite childhood films, like Inside Out 2, or simply to see a shirtless Hugh Jackman. This summer served as our yearly reminder that film is not dead, no matter what Variety says.
It’s easy to rush through campus without noticing the little details around us, but sometimes the scent of a flower in the breeze makes me pause. Watching flowers is like meditation for me; they give me small moments of peace — their scent makes me stop and take in nature even when I’m in a hurry.
The first traces of autumn are here. Sprays of red and orange have appeared on the trees along St. Paul Street, like first stars in the night sky. The air still smells like summer, though, and most days have been balmy. To accompany this season of indeterminate moods, the Arts & Entertainment section is here with a list of this week’s media recommendations. A few are spooky if you want to lean into the fall atmosphere, but many of them still sing the sunny song of summer. All are worth checking out.
The 112th Student Government Association (SGA) convened on Tuesday, Sept. 10 for their weekly meeting.
Get ready for a festive fall weekend in Maryland! From lively music festivals to mouthwatering food truck feasts, there’s no shortage of activities to enjoy. Here’s a quick look at the events you can’t miss this weekend.
The first week of NFL action is now all wrapped up, and it couldn’t have been filled with more excitement, shock and incredible performances across the board. We saw the defending champions return to their dominant ways beating the Baltimore Ravens at home, the Cincinnati Bengals losing in shock fashion to the Jacoby Brissett-led New England Patriots, and Josh Allen leading an incredible comeback against the Arizona Cardinals headlined by his four touchdown performance.
As the fall semester progresses, exciting discoveries continue to emerge across academia. This week’s highlights include a dye that renders mouse skin “transparent,“ a super precise nuclear-powered clock, new insights into cholesterol's role in heart disease and robots controlled by mushrooms.
As we begin a new academic year, many departments on campus face uncertainty about the future of their graduate programs. It’s a surprising development for Johns Hopkins, created nearly 150 years ago as a university dedicated to graduate training.
I remember sitting in my English teacher’s room during the last week of senior year, on the verge of tears. I was having an absolutely horrible day; I was exhausted, my limbs hurt a little more than normal and I could feel a stress headache from the subtly creeping impending doom.
The tagline for Sean Wang’s first feature length film Didi, “For anyone who’s ever been a teenager,” couldn’t be more accurate. The film follows Chris Wang, a 13-year-old Taiwanese American, as he goes through his last summer before high school in the mid-2000s.
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about time. More specifically, how the same volume of time can be compressed or expanded so that a morning can feel like twenty minutes or five seconds or a week, even when the clock is ticking by at the same pace. I’ve been thinking about whether we can control it — not time itself, but our perception of it.
After the closure of this summer’s transfer window, let’s review some of the biggest signings in the men’s soccer leagues!
I jumped for joy the day I opened my acceptance letter to Hopkins, but the excitement lasted only two minutes before dread set in. One second, I was screaming at the top of my lungs, “I’M GOING TO HOPKINS!!” and the next, it hit me — I actually had to go and face the daunting challenge ahead. To cope with the pressure from heavy coursework, I turned to what has always grounded me: my hobbies. Surprisingly, I haven’t lost touch with them. In fact, they feel closer to me than ever. The flexibility of college has even brought back some of the pastimes I thought I’d left behind in high school.
This August, the band Big Thief released a song called “Incomprehensible,” and it is about getting older. Yikes! Worst of all, it has wormed its way into a TikTok slideshow trend. Double yikes! TikTok has not been kind to the aging girl: a forum to promote infrared anti-wrinkle masks and face yoga and freezing your body in time, a platform for dermatologists who show you how drastically your young face will morph with the years if you do not buy their cure-all.
Four letters on a slime-green square.
We at the Arts & Entertainment section of The News-Letter cordially invite you to step away from the mounting responsibilities of being a Hopkins student and explore pieces of art that catch your interest. My personal recommendations are the Thai drama How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies, the quirky speculative novel Sky Full of Elephants (which mainly speculates what America would look like without white people) and English singer-songwriter Suki Waterhouse’s second studio album Memoir of a Sparklemuffin. Two monumental rock bands — Pearl Jam and Weezer — are also coming to the DMV in the same week!
Whether you’re a foodie, a music lover or just looking to enjoy Baltimore’s neighborhoods, this weekend has plenty to offer. From oyster feasts to Oktoberfest celebrations, the city is buzzing with events that cater to all tastes. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s in store.
It’s only the second week of classes, and the typical Hopkins experience of “staying up to study” has already become an integral aspect of my daily routine. But no late-night study session (read: watching Valorant streams with my roommates and attempting not to cry over my courseload) is complete without the right late-night munchies. After all, everyone gets hungry when they stay up too late.
The mistreatment and persistent exclusion of ethnic minorities, women, and other underrepresented groups from drug trials is a well-documented issue. In 2020, of the 32,000 individuals who participated in new American drug trials, key demographic groups were persistently underrepresented: only 8% were Black, 6% were Asian, and 11% were Hispanic.
