The Hopkins chapter of the Young America Foundation (YAF), in partnership with members of the Hopkins College Republicans, hosted their first event on Wednesday, Sept. 11.

However, the event was soon disrupted by student protestors and ended early.
On the night of Sept. 12, I went downtown with a few friends and a camera in hand. We had seen the flyers and social media posts, with ‘Bromo Art Walk’ pasted in big bubble letters and a short blurb below advertising a night of creative performances and open galleries. Ever eager to get a taste of artistic expression on a school night, we boarded the Purple Line and headed into the arts district.

This summer was a season to remember for the film community. Film after film was released, box office records were broken and people swarmed the movie theaters, eager to watch the sequels of their favorite childhood films, like Inside Out 2, or simply to see a shirtless Hugh Jackman. This summer served as our yearly reminder that film is not dead, no matter what Variety says.
It’s easy to rush through campus without noticing the little details around us, but sometimes the scent of a flower in the breeze makes me pause. Watching flowers is like meditation for me; they give me small moments of peace — their scent makes me stop and take in nature even when I’m in a hurry.
The first traces of autumn are here. Sprays of red and orange have appeared on the trees along St. Paul Street, like first stars in the night sky. The air still smells like summer, though, and most days have been balmy. To accompany this season of indeterminate moods, the Arts & Entertainment section is here with a list of this week’s media recommendations. A few are spooky if you want to lean into the fall atmosphere, but many of them still sing the sunny song of summer. All are worth checking out.
The 112th Student Government Association (SGA) convened on Tuesday, Sept. 10 for their weekly meeting.
Get ready for a festive fall weekend in Maryland! From lively music festivals to mouthwatering food truck feasts, there’s no shortage of activities to enjoy. Here’s a quick look at the events you can’t miss this weekend.
The first week of NFL action is now all wrapped up, and it couldn’t have been filled with more excitement, shock and incredible performances across the board. We saw the defending champions return to their dominant ways beating the Baltimore Ravens at home, the Cincinnati Bengals losing in shock fashion to the Jacoby Brissett-led New England Patriots, and Josh Allen leading an incredible comeback against the Arizona Cardinals headlined by his four touchdown performance.
As the fall semester progresses, exciting discoveries continue to emerge across academia. This week’s highlights include a dye that renders mouse skin “transparent,“ a super precise nuclear-powered clock, new insights into cholesterol's role in heart disease and robots controlled by mushrooms.
As we begin a new academic year, many departments on campus face uncertainty about the future of their graduate programs. It’s a surprising development for Johns Hopkins, created nearly 150 years ago as a university dedicated to graduate training.
I remember sitting in my English teacher’s room during the last week of senior year, on the verge of tears. I was having an absolutely horrible day; I was exhausted, my limbs hurt a little more than normal and I could feel a stress headache from the subtly creeping impending doom.
The tagline for Sean Wang’s first feature length film Didi, “For anyone who’s ever been a teenager,” couldn’t be more accurate. The film follows Chris Wang, a 13-year-old Taiwanese American, as he goes through his last summer before high school in the mid-2000s.
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about time. More specifically, how the same volume of time can be compressed or expanded so that a morning can feel like twenty minutes or five seconds or a week, even when the clock is ticking by at the same pace. I’ve been thinking about whether we can control it — not time itself, but our perception of it.
After the closure of this summer’s transfer window, let’s review some of the biggest signings in the men’s soccer leagues!
I jumped for joy the day I opened my acceptance letter to Hopkins, but the excitement lasted only two minutes before dread set in. One second, I was screaming at the top of my lungs, “I’M GOING TO HOPKINS!!” and the next, it hit me — I actually had to go and face the daunting challenge ahead. To cope with the pressure from heavy coursework, I turned to what has always grounded me: my hobbies. Surprisingly, I haven’t lost touch with them. In fact, they feel closer to me than ever. The flexibility of college has even brought back some of the pastimes I thought I’d left behind in high school.
