The early 2000s — an era of low-rise jeans, chunky highlights and the unmistakable sounds of pop-punk anthems — are making a vibrant comeback in today's pop culture. From fashion runways to music charts, the Y2K aesthetic is experiencing a renaissance, captivating a new generation while evoking nostalgia for those who lived through it. This revival isn't just about recycled trends; it's a fusion of past and present, with artists like Addison Rae, Tate McRae, Olivia Rodrigo and even the iconic Lady Gaga leading the charge.
“I thought this place would be closed in the winter,” a woman says, tucking her chin into her jacket. “Every market near me shuts down after fall.”
Two months ago, the Golden State Warriors looked all but finished. A sad, disappointing ending to one of the most storied and successful teams in the history of the NBA. It appeared as if we had already witnessed the last truly competitive basketball we might ever see from Stephen Curry and co.
The holy month of Ramadan began on the evening of Feb. 28 for Muslims around the world. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar when Muslims around the world fast and focus on spiritual growth, abstaining from food and drink from the break of dawn to sunset.

On Friday Feb. 28, the Hopkins Political Union hosted a debate between the Johns Hopkins College Republicans and the Hopkins Democrats, during which both student groups discussed the Trump administration's actions regarding immigration and the formation of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This event was hosted in collaboration with Hopkins Votes and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins.
Liberal arts colleges are some of wealthy Americans favorite institutions. Parents send their children to schools the size of most high schools with millions of dollars allocated to each individual student, with few graduate programs (rarely doctoral) and research initiatives absorbing tuition money. Amongst leftists, liberal arts colleges intellectual curriculums and left-wing political affiliations are the epitome of intellectual learning over pre-professional.
The 2025 Academy Awards, streamed live on Sunday, March 2 at 7 p.m. EST, was initiated by an opening number performed by Wicked’s two co-stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, singing classic Wizard of Oz songs such as “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” “Home” (from the original musical spinoff The Wiz) and, of course, “Defying Gravity.” Similar to Wicked, it was a touching tribute to the lasting legacy of The Wizard of Oz, but also an ironic choice for those who know Oscars history. When the Wizard of Oz was nominated for five Academy Awards back in 1940, it only won two — Best Original Score and Best Original Song — missing out on Best Picture.
A few weeks ago, I submitted a poem for a workshop at around 10 p.m. I’d revised it, refined it, read it out loud to myself and my friends — I was ready to submit. This was a pretty busy week for me: various responsibilities for The News-Letter, creeping philosophy deadlines, a growing pile of history readings. So, when I emailed my poem to my entire class, I didn’t review it. I submitted it. Then I turned to my readings, called my friends, and went to sleep. Everything was alright. My poem was okay, and I’d submitted it by 11:59 p.m.
With spring break quickly approaching, let’s take a look at some breaking scientific discoveries and news, from a new sickle cell disease cure to continued federal funding cuts.

If you are at all familiar with 2000s indie rock or early internet music culture, you’ve likely come across — or at least felt the influence of — Baltimore experimental pop band Animal Collective. Terms like “surreal,” “trippy” and “kaleidoscopic” now feel kind of overused and cliche when describing their music, but albums like Merriweather Post Pavilion or Strawberry Jam undeniably contain a delirious, effortless glee that make them an unmatched benchmark of the modern psychedelic genre.
Walking into An die Musik for the first time, I found that the atmosphere of the space was perfect for the late evening. A narrow walkway greeted me at the entrance, which separated into two dark entrances that one could choose to enter the room.
