Every year, The News-Letter Editorial Board issues endorsements after reviewing the platforms of each candidate running for the SGA Executive Board and interviewing the candidates. Endorsement was ultimately given to the candidates who demonstrated the most potential for success, the most experience in student government and the best record in effecting change.
On Sunday night, I attended a Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band concert in DC. I have seen "The Boss" multiple times, including my first concert ever (full disclosure: my father worked on multiple Springsteen tours and has friends with ticket hook ups). In 2009, I caught the Baltimore show: 3 hrs 20 minutes and 35 songs. No one does that, no one. And the guy was 59 years old at the time!
A couple days ago, I received one of the best compliments I have heard in quite a while. I was chatting with my math advisor about my course of action for the rest of my time here. After discussion about graduate classes, TA opportunities, and so on, I made some comment expressing my concern about getting into the BA/MA program, to which my advisor replied, "Don't worry, I can tell you're one of us."
Krieger Hall served host to a panel discussion on the representation of history in the popular arena at Homewood this past Monday. The event was sponsored by Hopkins' interdisciplinary Program of Museums and Society.
Since his childhood, Professor Khalil Tahrawi has dreamt of becoming a teacher. He always had plans to become an educator. But, at a young age, Tahrawi would discover that not all would go as planned for his future and the future of his Palestinian family.
Egyptology is the study of ancient Egyptian civilization, from art to literature to religion to history. A well-established academic field, western culture considers it a branch of archaeology. Such a specific topic is difficult to pursue, especially with a full Hopkins courseload.
Yeah, I don't even know what this means. I think I cried when I heard this quote because it was so entirely bizarre. Do you bite your siblings? I have one older sister and I can tell you for a fact that I have never ever had the desire to bite her. I don't know about you, but I generally reserve the act of biting for things that are dead and processed like steamed broccoli or writing utensils.
Let's move let's move. These are wise words I once heard at a track meet back in high school. Holding to the belief that it's often better to do than to talk, below are some different levels of the same exercise routine that can be combined with lifting or taken as a whole workout routine by itself.
Goo (1990) / Dirty (1992) / Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star (1994) / Washing Machine (1995)
I will be the first to admit that my television obsession is unhealthy. I am not proud of the hours I devote to internet t.v. viewing, though I am proud that I have quit my previous addiction of reality television (a drug in and of itself). In my younger years, I yearned for the catfights and drama that came with each new dose of Survivor or Real World: San Francisco.
With students eagerly gathered outside Professor Hickman's office to discuss an upcoming essay, I was able to interview Hickman about his experience as a professor in the English Department at Hopkins and his path to obtaining this position.
Welcome to the wonderful world of sexism! It took me years to realize that I enjoy talking about this subject, and by talking about this subject, I mean that I enjoy laughing at how many people freak out about it.
The first relationship a child has is to its mother, this is a simple, physical fact of life. That relationship persists, in some form, until one or the other dies. The parent/child bond is highly complex across the animal kingdom, and humans are not an outlier. From birth to childhood to teen-age to young-adulthood, our relationship with Mom and Dad (or whatever our parental makeup may be) changes dramatically. Entrance into college is a major shift within that continuum, as it entails a semi-permanent physical separation during a time of drastic psychological development - especially in the case of Hopkins students. Our generation faces the novel case of constant interaction through telecom media, which preserves some of the aspects of the previously "normal" relationship.
Although we reviewed Uni Mini in one of our previous columns, we thought it was necessary to revisit this hub of campus despite their questionable salads. Instead of focusing on its food, we decided to appreciate Uni Mini as an experience. Determined to get the behind-the-scenes dish, we asked our new favorite Uni Mini employee, Basam, for the inside scoop.
As promised, this week I will be talking to you about the Pearl of the Orient, otherwise known as the island of Penang in Malaysia. Penang is most famous for being the home of Georgetown, a small colonial city known for its charm and delicious street food. I was skeptical that a place could be so well known for its street food, because after all, how hard is it to fry something? But then I met an Australian woman on the plane who was traveling with her family and told me that whenever she is in Asia, she always flies over to Georgetown for the weekend, solely for the food. Well there you have it folks!
"No Bubble" is a new student initiative that encourages student exploration of different Baltimore neighborhoods, challenging students to break out of their bubble of Charles Village and the Inner Harbor.
