As we round the final corner before fall recess, take a minute to catch your breath with some of this week’s scientific discoveries.
President Ronald Reagan established the month of November as National Diabetes Month to increase awareness about the disease that currently impacts more than 38 million people in the United States, with higher prevalence in American Indian and Alaska Native, Black and Hispanic populations.
Thanksgiving can be a tone-deaf holiday. As the year draws to a close, things don't seem to be going well for a lot of us. Whether our concerns are as grave as the political milieu of our country, as mundane yet end-of-the-world-inducing as finals or even as simple as adjusting to daylight savings time, there is just about always something picking at the deep space in our brains. And then — as if to counterbalance all this — comes a holiday that offers us the emotional equivalent of a no-good therapist: just eat and be grateful. Although Thanksgiving is sometimes seen as a superficial holiday preaching forced positivity, it is still an opportunity to appreciate small things and shape the holiday in ways that are unique to each of us.
On Wednesday, Nov. 12, the Hopkins at Home program hosted “Education is a Cornerstone of Democracy: A Conversation with the School of Education,” a virtual livestreamed talk.

From Nov. 6 to Nov. 9, the Hopkins Program in Theatre Arts and Studies presented show-stopping performances of “Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde.” Written by Moisés Kaufman and directed by Sean Elias, the show offered a unique look at the downfall of Oscar Wilde’s career and an introspective view on the role of the artist in society.
Slowly but surely, we are inching our way closer to the end of the semester. These final few weeks come fast. Fall recess lulls you into a false sense of security before the merciless onslaught of study nights, final exams, papers, presentations and more that all happen only within a couple of weeks. During those precious days of rest leading up to and during fall recess, however, we encourage you to seize the time to relax and unwind with some of these hand-picked, timely media recommendations.
The idea of being a “Pilates Princess” has never been so appealing. Under the stress of unending midterms (which should be called infinite-terms), it seems like taking care of one’s health is an impossible task. So imagine our excitement when we found out that Hopkins offers free Pilates classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays for all affiliates at the Rec.
In today’s culture, there is a certain pressure to find one’s “aesthetic niche.” Take a look at 2020, a year riddled with explosions of dark academia, light academia, cottagecore and e-girl imagery. Social media has made self-presentation a kind of performance, where one’s outfit, lighting and even coffee order has become an indication of identity. Fast forward to 2025, and we’ve traded flowy skirts and notebooks for pencil skirts and lip gloss — the office siren has arrived.
Mocha and Pearl was founded by Rojeena Thapa as a place where comfort, creativity and community come together. Nestled inside the DoubleTree beside campus, the shop serves handcrafted coffee and boba drinks that have quickly made it a favorite among Hopkins students. Thapa describes the cafe’s journey in an interview with The News-Letter.
Another picture about a woman slowly losing her sanity in an unhappy relationship doesn’t exactly reinvent the wheel of storytelling. But Die My Love, through director Lynne Ramsay’s sharp direction and Jennifer Lawrence’s phenomenal lead performance, executes a familiar trope with more depth; there’s more to linger on than the usual visceral feelings that arise from being in a frenzied, emotional coma.
I plop onto my seat in Hodson 110, flipping the light gray foldable desk over and laying my favorite mechanical pencil and eraser on top, catching the pencil with my index finger as it threatened to roll off the edge of the table. There are 30 minutes until the first ProbStats midterm.

My dad still has a huge vinyl collection — The Beatles, ABBA, The Carpenters — and shelves full of original Asterix and Obelix and Tintin comics. Every now and then, he even styles his hair like Reggie from The Archies. He loves old-school diners and fries with ketchup will always be his ultimate comfort food. He’s a true ’90s kid at heart: someone who actually lived and breathed the culture that shaped his generation.
