From TV screen to playlist | Liv Listens

By Olivia Stapleton April 17, 2025
If you’re a TV show connoisseur, and we have the same taste, I hope this serves as a helpful guide for some songs to add to your library. If you spot one of your favorite songs but have yet to see the show I associate it with, I hope this encourages you to give it a watch as well.

A typical Sunday in New York City: Soaked, hungry and no reservations

By Nino Machavariani March 2, 2025
This is my favorite part of any city day — leaning back in your seat and watching the world pass by through the train window. Bonus points if the sun is setting as it's the perfect way to wrap up the day.

Ask Abby (Or Analise): Are all men really trash?

By Analise Bruno March 2, 2025
I’m kidding, but it's important to remember why we sometimes make generalizations as a society. Not all bees will sting you, but still we’re scared of bees. We don’t say, “only some bees will sting you”  because that’s a given — it’s redundant. In that same way, no one really means all men are trash. Not all men are the same as Mr. Big.

Decentering romantic relationships

By Chloe Saint Mard February 10, 2025
Somewhere along the line, we were sold the idea that romantic love is the ultimate prize and that being single is some kind of failure. We’ve been conditioned to think that if you're not in a relationship, you're somehow incomplete. But, here’s the truth — romantic love is just one kind of love. It’s not the centerpiece of life unless you make it that way. Honestly, that’s a pretty fragile foundation to build your happiness on.

Can there ever be another Carrie Bradshaw? | Is It Just Me Or?

By Grace Donahue April 18, 2024
We have diluted the importance of voices to help guide us because almost anyone with an internet connection can share their own thoughts and opinions. It is harder to decide who to listen to when there are dozens of voices with contrasting views.

Obsessions of the month | Maia’s Inner Monologue

By Maia Penzer January 30, 2024
As I began this new semester, I spent some time reflecting on how I launched my column in October with a piece titled: "Obsessions of the week," which, as you can clearly tell by the name, dove into the things that enthralled me at the time. It only seems natural to me that in this first piece of the semester, I share my fixations of the month.
