This August, the band Big Thief released a song called “Incomprehensible,” and it is about getting older. Yikes! Worst of all, it has wormed its way into a TikTok slideshow trend. Double yikes! TikTok has not been kind to the aging girl: a forum to promote infrared anti-wrinkle masks and face yoga and freezing your body in time, a platform for dermatologists who show you how drastically your young face will morph with the years if you do not buy their cure-all.

We at the Arts & Entertainment section of The News-Letter cordially invite you to step away from the mounting responsibilities of being a Hopkins student and explore pieces of art that catch your interest. My personal recommendations are the Thai drama How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies, the quirky speculative novel Sky Full of Elephants (which mainly speculates what America would look like without white people) and English singer-songwriter Suki Waterhouse’s second studio album Memoir of a Sparklemuffin. Two monumental rock bands — Pearl Jam and Weezer — are also coming to the DMV in the same week!

It’s only the second week of classes, and the typical Hopkins experience of “staying up to study” has already become an integral aspect of my daily routine. But no late-night study session (read: watching Valorant streams with my roommates and attempting not to cry over my courseload) is complete without the right late-night munchies. After all, everyone gets hungry when they stay up too late.

The mistreatment and persistent exclusion of ethnic minorities, women, and other underrepresented groups from drug trials is a well-documented issue. In 2020, of the 32,000 individuals who participated in new American drug trials, key demographic groups were persistently underrepresented: only 8% were Black, 6% were Asian, and 11% were Hispanic.

The Arts & Entertainment section is starting a new tradition of sharing the soundtracks of our summer break. You’ll see that we are far from single-minded; our picks range from soft bedroom pop to harsh, experimental hip hop. If you aren’t sure of your niche, well, all that’s left is for our talented writers to make their case.

My last goodbyes flow out of me like a disappointed sea, breaking and offshoring between the rows of my teeth, shaking my lips. As I see my parents’ faces, I am reminded once again of what must be done. Packing my life into three suitcases, I head off to college once again, with a quiet hope that this semester will be far better than the last. I have opened and closed them many times, recounting each item, wishing I could pack my room inside the walls of the suitcases. Wishing I could take the crayon markings on my walls, the stickers of all the things I have ever loved and my family with me. However, as I hug my sister for the last time in months, like the last drops of water when a drought begins, I begin to realize the cost of my dreams.

My foot rapped nervously against the blue and green carpets that lined the University’s dorm rooms. Flooded with thoughts, I zoned in on the undecorated room with blank walls before me. As long as there is room for my pink stuffed animals and LED lamps, I’ll be satisfied. Analyzing the walls with scrutiny and armed with my measuring tape and command strips, I attempted to ease my biggest worry: Where do I hang my The Weeknd poster? To be honest, it was by pure luck that the 20x30-inch picture frame that housed my poster had survived the journey from home to here, and it was more of a miracle that I had any space left over to adorn my walls with “To-Do” lists.

The News-Letter is proud to be financially independent from the University — a tradition started by alumni of the paper that we have maintained for decades. This means that the paper does not receive funding from the University which enables us to serve as an unbiased and trusted organization when reporting on matters affecting the Hopkins community. As we begin the new school year, we want to provide readers with a greater understanding of our sources of funding and the importance of maintaining our independence.

The climate crisis is real. We see evidence of this in increased storm severity, more intense wildfires and inundated shorelines. As with all problems, humans naturally search for a root cause for these continuing disasters. It can be difficult to reconcile that we — the humans searching for answers to this crisis — are responsible for the global climate crisis. Greed, short-sighted mitigation strategies and stubborn opposition to change are among the top reasons why mankind have thus far failed to adequately address the urgency of climate disasters.

In an email to the Hopkins community on May 10, President Ronald J. Daniels wrote that, “The time for protest and disruption that violates our rules and norms must end. The encampment must be dismantled. In its stead, we must return to respectful dialogue on difficult issues that is the work of the university.”

Over the Labor Day weekend, my roommates and I took advantage of one of those last shorts-and-tank-top days, wrapping up summer with a day in Ellicott City. This little trip was the perfect blend of old-world charm and modern-day delights, from strolling down historic Main Street to indulging in some seriously good Korean BBQ — there’s just so much to enjoy here.

For my entire life, I have explained, to those asking, that while I have a Hispanic-sounding first name, my parents actually emigrated from the Philippines. For those sufficiently curious, I have further elaborated that I was named after my father’s maternal grandfather, whom we refer to as “Lolo (Grandfather) Miguel.”
