I will never forget stumbling upon the infinite.
It’s so late that it’s now three in the morning, and you have to get a reading done for a class. But you keep reading the same paragraph over and over, drowning in superfluous terminology and words you are failing to comprehend. And you implore the academia gods above to provide some understanding of the material, or at least give you a less long-winded and verbose text next time.
A new retrospective study at UNC Hospitals found that Black women receiving cesarean sections reported the highest pain scores, but experienced fewer pain assessments and were provided with less pain medication.
Frida Kahlo’s art and fame were once eclipsed by her more acclaimed husband, Diego Rivera, as evidenced by the Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and Mexican Modernism exhibit from the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh.
In a generation defined by social media, Instagram is consistently criticized for presenting false ideals and projecting dishonesty. There is certainly some validity to this when it comes to the more superficial forms of curation.

Now that we’re more than one month into the semester, everything feels like it’s picking up. This is typically when my creative outlets are pushed to the back-burner as I prioritize school, work, the post-grad job search, etc.
As we are navigating an era of increasing gender-fluidity, the English language is shifting from the traditional, binary categorization of gender toward neutrality and inclusivity. Feminists have long advocated for the use of a neutral form for gendered words, for example, mailperson instead of mailman.

Together, the artists situate contemporary art into an important conversation about representation and feminism today.
An introvert’s nightmare is walking into a friend of a friend of a friend’s party where the only person you know is that friend who dragged you along. You remain at your friend’s hip as they catch up with the people they know, not having much to contribute to their conversation. The small talk that you do make feels strained, and you know that guy who is practically soaked in booze won’t remember your name tomorrow anyway. You also feel stuck there because you’re probably the DD, and your friend is way too drunk to walk home.
Saturday marked the one-year anniversary of Donald Trump’s inauguration and the second Women’s March internationally. Marchers advocated for many causes, among them reproductive rights, which they felt were threatened by the Trump administration following an October ruling on the Affordable Care Act. The ruling allowed employers to choose whether or not to refuse birth control if they had religious or moral objections, but was suspended by a federal judge.
The art world can seem very exclusive and impervious.
“College is a pivotal time in your life,” said everyone ever.
Since President Trump first entered the political arena in June 2015, media companies have covered his campaign and now presidency as a series of spectacles.
