It is currently 3 a.m. on a Sunday night. I have been trying to fall asleep for the past hour and half, but there’s so much running through my mind that sleep became an impossible task. I could grab some melatonin, but instead, I’ve grabbed my laptop and started to write. As I sit here, […]
Kesha’s ongoing lawsuit against her music producer of ten years, Dr. Luke (Lukasz Gottwald), has truly shown the public on a larger platform just how difficult it is for survivors of sexual abuse to seek justice.

The race, which started and ended outside of Meadows Hall, was a standard 5 kilometer race (3.1 miles). The crowd was relatively large and very inclusive as to who could race.

Halloween is quickly approaching. Over the past few weeks, several discussions have been held on the subject of Halloween costumes and cultural appropriation, namely the discussion held last week by FAW, DWOCC and RENI. Buzzfeed has also been diving into the subject by releasing videos of the topic of cultural appropriation during Halloween. Two such […]
Hej again from Copenhagen! I am now halfway through my semester abroad (!!!) which means it’s midterm season. It seems strange to be talking about midterms when here I am in Europe, in case I haven’t mentioned that yet. I’ve had a lot of experiences since I last wrote that have brought both historic and […]
