Snow has a way of transforming the world, turning even the most ordinary day into something soft, quiet and full of magic.
The Road to Milano Cortina may be winding to an end, but we’re cruising through a hectic section where you must constantly check your mirrors or you’ll miss the action. It has been snowy here in Baltimore recently, so as you skate in the new ice rink or sled down the beach, imagine the training and skill of these athletes who have qualified.
4-Across: With 1-Down, something that is often encountered on the beach

On Dec. 3, Hopkins hosted the 21st annual Lighting of the Quads (LOTQ) celebration, a tradition organized by the Hopkins Organization for Programming (HOP) to mark the approaching end of the fall semester.
On Wednesday, Dec. 17, the Teachers and Researchers United (TRU-UE) union coordinated a noise demonstration at the Bloomberg Student Center to stand in solidarity and raise awareness for Ehsan Rajabi’s unprecedented circumstances.
I hate everything about them.
My thumb flipped the page, and I sat up straighter, holding my breath as my eyes glossed over the next page. Wait — what? How did the main character’s brother just get killed like that? He was alive in the last chapter...
From the outside, nothing looks wrong. I reluctantly get out of bed, go where I’m supposed to go, yap, laugh and dillydally. It doesn’t seem that anything has changed. I’m still me: I deliver the same jokes and remarks, I have the same competitive spirit, I have the same interests I am very vocal about. However, underneath the noise, it’s just silence.
I’ve always found peace in the sky. When I was younger, I’d look up at the clouds during long car rides and let my imagination go wild with stories of a fictional man jumping through the clouds. Even as I got older, my appreciation and admiration for the sky only grew stronger. I am from an area known as the Sun City. As such, I’ve always been able to define my home through beautiful sunsets and sunrises. When I came to Baltimore my freshman year, I was surprised by how different the sky was — sunny days felt like a cage and cloudy days were only dreary. I felt as though I was caged up by an unseen force that prevented me from being able to relax and take in my environment.
When I was a child, I thought that eating turkey on Thanksgiving was a historical myth, like finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow on St. Patrick’s Day or getting hit by Cupid's arrow on Valentine’s Day. Each November, I would make as many hand turkeys as I could possibly fit in my sparkly pink backpack, and then go to my Abuela’s house to eat a traditional feast of pan de bono, empanadas, ajiaco, mazorca, platanos, arroz con leche and jugo de maracuya. Like we all do every year, right?
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.
In less than two months, all eyes will be on Italy. The country is not unfamiliar with hosting the Olympics, having previously held the 1960 Summer Games (Rome), the 1956 Winter Games (Cortina d’Ampezzo) and the 2006 Winter Games (Turin). This time over 3,500 athletes gather in this iconic hotspot, representing 93 countries. Uniquely, the Games will be spread out over 250 miles between Milan and Cortina, and will also span twelve venues across a multitude of regions in Northern Italy.
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.
When I was little, I always made sure to turn on my nightlight before heading to sleep. From the concept of monsters hiding under my bed to other unknowns in the darkness, I had my fears and suspicions. However, a tiny, dim light capable of warmly illuminating my whole bedroom was all that I needed to give me the assurance that it was probably just my mind trying to play tricks on me and that if a monster were really hiding underneath my bed, I would at least be able to foresee it instead of being blindly frightened by it.
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.
As finals creep closer, Baltimore offers a welcome pause with a weekend full of holiday spirit. Enjoy twinkling markets, a beloved ballet and a movie night with a live orchestra before heading into the last stretch of the semester. Wishing everyone rest, warmth and a happy holiday season.
