Scandals, crazy age gaps, divorce money and out-of-wedlock children are just a few ideas that come to my mind when I hear about celebrity couples. And let me tell youuu, I have some very STRONG opinions about celebrity couples. I’ll keep it light, for now…

In today’s day and age, online dating plays a big role in meeting new people and making romantic connections. But for many, creating a profile can be daunting, and it can be hard to even know where to start. But don’t worry! I’m here to give you all the insider information on how to create an irresistible online dating profile.

Today’s question: I’m not sure what to do with my major. How’d you know what you wanted to do?

How can such beautiful music not contain any words?

It’s a struggle trying not to view my time in Barcelona as a long-term vacation, where I just sit on the beach, eat tapas and go shopping all day. Learning to balance work and play is key to a meaningful study abroad experience.

One of the most unfortunate activities SEMO students face on a college campus could be the long, tedious walks whenever they need to go anywhere on campus like going to class or getting food. This issue is certainly present at SEMO and although some students have the ability to park their cars in multiple lots, most students do not get the same luxury.

The type of American Girl Doll (AGD) you resonate with says something about you. It’s the same sort of phenomenon that occurs among us when discussing our favorite member of a (boy) band or even our favorite character in a game. For example, if you were/are a Harry gal, you’re a little crunchy granola. (There’s no shade here; me, too, baby — me, too.)

I think we all know that sometimes the astrology memes and weirdly detailed descriptions of zodiac signs can be a little far reaching at times, but 14 year old me would strongly disagree.

Alright — we all love listening to music when we're sad. Or, at least I do. But do you listen to happy music or sad music?

I have heard from many Europeans that Americans are seen as “overly-polite.” I believe this stems from a people-pleasing mindset.

This week’s question: What do you think about the concept of fate?

Spring break was the best time: time to sit at the beach, go to a big city or just stay at home and scroll social media. I wish I could say I went to the beach, but nahh I stayed and fell into the wormhole of TikTok.

Anybody remember the ~wild~ tights trend of the early 2010s? Yes, Hot Topic cat cutout tights – I’m talking to you.

We're about three week's into Women's History Month, but don’t stop the celebration now! This week, we’ll discuss the two best genres for parties: pop and rap…and the female artists that inspire them!

Everything in Times Square is the best: the best in the city, the best in the country, the best in the world. I don’t know how it’s possible, but every pizzeria on the block is labeled New York City’s best. There are so many “best” pizza places, the only way to discover the true best pizza is to Google it.

I love waiting. Waiting in line at Starbucks. Waiting for class to start. Waiting in the car to arrive at my destination. I’m not being sarcastic; I truly love these moments. They provide a space to breathe in my schedule. A space to simply be a person in the world.

A portrait of a soldier gravely wounded on a battlefield. The painting used cultural understanding of religious depictions of the wounding and death of Jesus as a language to communicate the pain felt by the subjects of the painting. I took a picture of it because it is hard for me to comprehend how someone can be that good at painting.

It is the middle of the semester and we all have such heavy loads of school work. For me, this means less time to sit down and get invested in a book that is hundreds of pages long. So this week, I took a step back and grabbed a poetry book (or two).

With Women’s History Month now upon us, I think it's time we highlight some female artists in music.

My uncle owns a cabin in the mountains. It’s nestled against a hill on a beautiful piece of ranch land.There’s a stable with horses and a long front porch for watching the sunrise or staring at the Milky Way. The interior is filled with cozy couches, breakfast nooks and huge dining tables to fit the whole family. In the morning, we wake up slowly, quietly. We take our time, because there’s tons of it.

Hi gal pals! I knowwww we usually discuss a *silly lil fashion trend,* but today’s a teeny bit different. Lately, my Insta Reels page has been fillllllled with videos of balaclavas, silky headscarves and other head coverings. It made me think — considering the discrimination and harrassment Muslim women face for wearing hijabs, is this trend a bit problematic?

Music can be very subjective. What sounds like robot noises to one person, can in turn be musical heaven for another.

The end of this month is all about communication, as Mercury in Aquarius squares off with Uranus in Taurus. Big conversations, reactive words and speaking from pain are all on the calendar for everyone.

Whewww… let’s talk about culture shock and its effects on your self confidence!

Today’s question: If I like someone who is in a relationship, but seems like they may be interested in me, how should I approach them if I want to be in a relationship with them? Or should I drop it?

Almost all of us have fallen into the influencer-wannabe mindset. Posing in front of colored walls. Performing TikTok dances on the beach instead of swimming. Posting stories of our fruit-filled smoothie bowls.

Do you ever wish you lived in another world? I mean like really – who wouldn’t?

I know you’ve seen it allllll over your Insta feed. You’ve wanted to try it, but maybe you’re a lil scared.

William Afton, a man of many … talents? Coming back from the dead, designing highly-intelligent animatronics … murdering children — the list goes on and on!

It’s full moon time! This full moon is a very special one. It’s the snow moon, and it’s in Leo! This lunation will affect every sign, but to my Leos and Aquarius’, she is coming for you. Because the moon is in Leo and sits opposite Aquarius, we’ll be forced to look at what’s best for our community and what’s best for ourselves, all while feeling empowered, optimistic and … spicy.

My original purpose of this weekly column was to give other students an understanding of what the study abroad experience is really like. I’m doing my best to not stray away from that purpose, but it is hard to keep from writing about all the pretty views and good foods...

In seventh grade, my crush at the time asked me if I was on Instagram. I had zero idea what Instagram was, so I did what any middle schooler would do and lied before proceeding to furiously Google the term after school.

Cassie makes horrible decisions, but I <3 her anyway.

So Security Breach came out in December, and it completely changed up the FNAF series, in the gameplay sense.

Whether you celebrate Valentine’s Day, palentine’s day, galentine’s day, or nothing at all on Feb. 14, there’s no denying the cosmic pull (and push) your sign has. This week we’re talking your most and least compatible signs!

As of yesterday, I have been in Barcelona as a Spanish resident for one full week. Let me tell ya, it is everything I did not imagine and more!

In the documentary “The Corporation,” Interface CEO Ray Anderson said, “Our civilization is not flying because it’s not built according to the laws of aerodynamics for civilizations that would fly. And of course, the ground is still a long way away, but some people have seen that ground rushing up sooner than the rest of us.”

Was it just me or was everyone OBSESSED with Greek gods and mythology back in middle school? I mean I craved all the knowledge about the different gods and the stories behind them.

Picture this: It’s 2008. The sun is shining. Birds are singing. Your biggest priority is choosing between neon green and hot pink beads for your bestie’s friendship bracelet.

From childhood to now, Five Nights At Freddy’s has always been a secret obsession of mine.

Whew! We can all breathe a sigh of relief this week, because the first Mercury retrograde of the year is officially OVER as of Feb. 3. If last week felt particularly draining and uncommunicative, especially in your romantic or professional relationships, thank Mercury (and Venus, whose retrograde ended Jan. 29).

Here I am, sitting on my first connecting flight to Barcelona.

Full disclosure: I judge books by their covers, especially if there are swords, crowns or a pretty ball gown. Immediately I will believe it is what I am looking for. “From Blood and Ash” by Jennifer L. Armentrout is no exception. Sitting on the shelves of Barnes and Noble, it pulled me straight in – I’m not sure if it was the sword or the red leaves, but it was something. This week, I'm going to break down the first book of the series and hopefully get you to read them all before the fourth book comes out in March.

Calling all French majors out there: What’s the translation for “What the actual heck?”

I know it’s cliché, but we are in the new year now, so it’s time to get into some new games!

Aries, 2021 was … rough. You held on through the thick of it, and it’s going to pay off. This week means seeing the fruits of your labor. It’s time to take what you’ve learned from this experience and invest in the future.

The beginning of a new year … students are adjusting to new class schedules, reuniting with friends, and pursuing — or, most likely, breaking — those new year’s resolutions that look exactly the same as last year’s. With a new year and new semester, there always comes change, whether it’s adapting to harder classes, different teachers, new roommates, etc...

Hi! Welcome to my new column, “Ask me Anything.” I’m a psychology and journalism major and hope to be a relationship counselor one day, since interpersonal relationships fascinate me. I also love thinking about why things are the way they are, so … I’m here to answer all of your burning questions! I’d love to answer anything from questions about life or relationships, deep questions, absurd hypotheticals — whatever’s in your head.

With the start of the semester, it’s easy to fall into a stressful routine. Wake up, go to school, go to work, do homework, cry (maybe that’s just me), do more homework, and hopefully, get some sleep. This semester, I told myself to pick up a hobby as a way to try to destress.

Welcomeeeeeee to a new year, pals! The December announcement of Pantone’s Color of the Year is like a holiday for fashion nerds. Every year, the color company chooses a hue that captures the vibe of the new year.
