When men are fans of sports teams, they can dress up, paint their faces and be upset that their team lost. When women are fans of music artists, they are ridiculed for dressing up for concerts, staying up for new releases and being emotional when they go to shows. This double standard is alarming and ridiculous.
BookTok has expanded many authors’ audiences, especially Colleen Hoover. During the pandemic, Hoover’s book “It Ends with Us” blew up on BookTok despite being released in 2016. The book’s popularity inspired her to write a sequel called “It Starts with Us” in October. As an avid reader, I found myself drawn to Hoover’s books because of suggestions on BookTok. After reading six of her books, I don’t think their problematic characters and plot should be celebrated.
When Taylor Swift announced her 10th studio album, Midnights, I was ecstatic. I stayed up for the release and the surprise announcement that turned out to be another seven songs. When she announced “The Eras Tour,” I jumped at the chance to sign-up for Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan Program, which allows fans to have access to a presale of tickets for a show they are interested in.
Since I was 13, I have struggled with hormonal and cystic acne; now, at 19, I am still suffering. I hated my face during high school and was deeply ashamed of having people see me. I used makeup to hide the acne, but it did not work. I have gone to dermatologists and other doctors, and nothing they have prescribed has been effective.
Taylor Swift released her 10th studio album, Midnights, on Oct. 21. The 13-track album is about 13 sleepless nights she has had throughout her career. This album marks her return to pop after her previous two albums, folklore and evermore. Swift has not released an all-original album since evermore because she has been busy re-recording her first six albums.

Even though it might not feel like fall in Tucson, it's here! Fall is my favorite season because I love the food, colors and weather. I love lighting a candle, having a chai latte and watching scary movies. The vibes are spectacular, and I wanted to share some of my favorite media to put me in the fall spirit.

Over the past two years, reading has become a part of my daily routine. In 2021, I made a New Year’s resolution to read one book a month and ended up reading 35 books. This year, I had a goal to read 50 books but read 50 by the middle of April, so now my goal is 150. Reading has become one of my favorite hobbies.
Searching for colleges during my junior and senior years of high school brought me to look at out-of-state colleges, including the University of Arizona. Some of the things I was looking for in colleges were scholarship opportunities, clubs, internships/research opportunities, location and overall cost. Looking at the UA, I found everything I was looking for in a college.
After the semester ends and finals are finished, summer officially begins for college students. Many students get summer jobs and take summer classes, but the burnout from the semester may stop people from wanting to attend their jobs and courses.
We have all heard of both roommate horror stories and roommates that were eventually in the other’s wedding. Many people are somewhere in between, being friends with their roommate and going out together. Either way, your roommate is one of the first people you meet when you get to campus, and they can make or break your dorm/apartment experience.
With finals week coming up and all the stress that comes with it, students should not be pulling all-nighters. It damages our brain function, and it is not an effective way to study for finals. Although the Main Library is open 24/7 starting April 30 for finals, students should not stay all night to cram study for finals.
I have seen that usually, when artists release many albums, their quality goes downhill, but it is not the case for Beach House. Their eighth album, Once Twice Melody, shows how much they have grown in just under 20 years. There is so much growth with sound and lyrics as they release awe-inspiring albums that have transformed the indie-pop genre.
Whether someone is traveling around their city, state, country or abroad, traveling comes with so many benefits. Traveling, especially as a college student, is one of the best ways to experience new cultures. According to Travelex, traveling can help people become more independent, boost happiness and reduce stress.
