Londoners are big fans of silence. As a devotee myself, I’ve quickly adapted to the expected quiet on public transportation. In fact, I’ve begun to relish it. And while buses are nice to sit back and look out the window, I’ve found that the London Underground, usually just called the Tube here, is the best […]
For moderately priced vintage finds, American Vintage in Westwood is the place to splurge all those ’90s mom style pieces (sorry, boys). So if you’re looking for worn-in high-waist denim and slouchy cashmere sweaters, this charming shop in Westwood Village is one that might suit your fancy. Though last weekend’s 50% off sale is over […]
Anne Hall, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, was quoted last week in The New York Times as saying over the years, “the student [has] bec[o]me the customer who’s always right.” To a large extent, she’s right. I came to college expecting challenging courses and I definitely heard about them — in the science […]

And why should it be, when many agricultural families still prefer boys to girls, and even urban families are mainly concerned with marrying their daughter off into a good family. So maybe I wasn’t the only one (pleasantly) surprised when […]

Just kidding — when dressing for a professional event or workday, dress to impress. You must embody the physicality of professional and success people […]
“I started rapping Biggie Smalls in the basement/and now we headed towards the tallest skyscrapers,” Big Sean muses on “Dark Sky,” the opening track to his third studio album, Dark Sky Paradise. Sean sounds hungry – after four mixtapes and two studio albums he still feels like he has something to prove with this release. […]
The amount of camaraderie you can build with people within a little over two weeks is surprisingly great, especially when considering that your group was initially divided by cultural barriers and backgrounds. My two weeks at Keio University were a special time, as demonstrated by the farewells that flowed between the Japanese students and the […]
Located off of Hoover between 23rd and 24th St and packed tightly between other restaurants and cafes lies a hot spot for authentic, Italian cuisine. Being in walking distance (or a cheap Uberable trip) from campus, Bacaro L.A. welcomes guests with a refined menu and a quaint, hip environment. The restaurant opened in 2008 and […]
Let’s face it — Leavey library is not anyone’s favorite place on campus. But as much as we all roll our eyes at the questionable interior color scheme and resent the fact that we have to pay for printing, most students, if pressed, would likely admit that Leavey has come through for them in one […]
