Why are people categorizing things other people enjoy as something scoff-worthy and lame? Why does it always seem there’s someone in an Instagram comments section ready to make fun of a woman listening to a certain artist and wearing a certain brand of clothing in a certain kind of bedroom?

One of the things I look forward to on the weekends is going out with friends. Despite the various times we agree to try something new, we always end up on 6th Street. Therefore, I decided to share the best way to navigate Dirty Sixth. 

So we’re embracing new social norms that extend young adulthood. Additionally, possibly even removing milestones like marriage and parenthood, which traditionally marked growing older. Lastly, we are all aware that time can’t be stopped. The one thing we can control is how youthful we look, especially with the resources available today such as following a healthy diet, using skin care products, and having the option to undergo surgical procedures.

How can we normalize introversion in a world that scoffs at it? Should we just accept the belief that extraversion is the “default” way of being and that everyone else is an anomaly who doesn’t know what they’re missing by living in their silly little inner worlds?

Theatre is, simply, magical. There’s nothing like the feeling of working for weeks––sometimes months––to memorize lines, practice choreography, learn about your cast and crew members’ interesting lives outside of the make-believe world, and the moment the lights go up for the first time.

And yet, like many of us who unintentionally find ourselves in trouble while chasing excitement, attention, or love, Coraline eventually has to face the consequences of ignoring all the warning signs, and—most importantly—her own intuition.

Marcelo once again attacked Montes with personal struggles such as not growing up with a father figure and being exploited as a child actress. Once again Montes didn’t stay silent and defended herself calling him out on his misogynistic actions.

Austin is recognized as the top city in America and the fifth worldwide for nightlife, offering endless fun and excitement. However, it's crucial to stay safe during a night out. Here are five ways to detect if your drink has been spiked or tampered with:

For years the trope of the “Final Girl” has been simple; sexy, cis, and often sexually immature. It’s a way of subtly signaling to the public, that this is how women should behave. This is how they have value. This is how they make it out of the horror movie alive.

The main reason why Ms. Mongeau's story has kept being ignored or disvalued is because she does not fit the mold of the “perfect victim.” This idealized, narrow, unrealistic definition suggests that a victim must be passive, faultless, and often associated with an innocent appearance to be deemed worthy of empathy and support.

Karol G has been going on tour for the past year. The “Mañana Será Bonito” Tour came to an end this past Tuesday at Madrid’s Santiago Bernabėu Stadium. Karol became the first female artist to sell out — and perform — four stadium shows in a row in Spain and also the first Latin female artist to perform at the stadium at all according to Live Nation.

These moments helped me realize that New York is not as daunting as it first seemed. Maybe it’s just a city full of people trying to live their lives, just like anyone else in any other place.

In the media and in life, women are often compared to one another, creating a sense of competition usually relative to appearance and men. This show could easily portray women negatively, but instead, it highlights their strengths and friendships.

Angel slowly brought his hand up, set it right in front of his nose, and flicked off Anxiety. As his final “fuck you” he picked up a single piece of popcorn aimed it at Anxiety and lightly threw it at the movie screen.

Pride is a rebellion. The older I’ve gotten the clearer this has become. At first, to me, it was simply a celebration. An expression of queer joy. Running around a confetti-littered parade, starring in awe at the beautiful faces in the community I hold so dear…
