Choosing the perfect college was no easy task for me.
There are few times when a Saturday Night Live hosting pairing will give me a visceral reaction, but when it was announced Nov. 29 that actor Adam Driver would be hosting with musical guest Olivia Rodrigo, I went into full body shock. It felt reminiscent of the moment when it was announced actor Timothée Chalamet would be hosting with musical guest boygenius (it was Halloween and while dressed as Joan of Arc, I forced my friends to take a picture of me with the iconic post it notes).
Anne Hathaway and I hail from the same town: Millburn, NJ. With its notoriously academically challenging and competitive school district, it trains its students to want the same thing — the best. It is so uniquely toxic our former middle school principal wrote a tell-all book about it. Hathaway and I followed similar paths, staring in our high school’s productions and doing everything arts related. While she graduated and ascended to stardom a la “The Princess Diaries,” I find myself here, penning this article.
The “it girl” can be defined as “a woman who is very famous, fashionable or successful at a particular time.” The term originated in 1927 with the film “It” featuring silent film actress Clara Bow. It quickly gained traction among the most stylish young women who exuded a certain "je ne sais quoi" drawing people in through their effortless appearance.
My Thanksgiving break can be summed up in one word: cinematic. I visited the movie theater on three separate occasions, catching “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,” “Saltburn” and my melodramatic favorite, “May December.”
The 2010s feel like one big fever dream set to the tunes of Kesha, One Direction and the Glee Cast. My childhood was defined by flipping through copies of J-14 and Tiger Beat, my OG Deuxmoi, serving as style guides in a world before influencers. Now, the 2010s are making a comeback. The “Hunger Games” franchise is back. The 1975 is on tour. Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse are in the news with pregnancy rumors. Pop culture has made its rounds, but it’s not alone.
“There was a Cabaret and there was a Master-of-Ceremonies and there was a city called Berlin in a country called Germany and it was the end of the world….”
Entering the theater to watch a Sofia Coppola film is a religious experience.
To quote Stephen Colbert, “I sang, I laughed, I screamed along with my fellow Swifties.”
Halloween season is upon us. I crave Halloween on a level unlike any other. Escaping my daily drone of navy blues and white “classic” outfits (I’m trying to not look back at college fashion with deep regret) and entering my “I can be whoever I want to be” era. In the least pretentious way possible, I want to celebrate my love for film and honor it the best I can.
Fans of classic films like “Scream” and “Back to the Future” will absolutely love the latest spunky horror flick from Amazon Prime. “Totally Killer," directed by Nahnatchka Khan, was released Oct. 6 — just in time for Halloween.
The art of the game day outfit is ever-changing. From scoping various Instagram accounts for custom college gear to placing a last-minute order at the bookstore, this process can be difficult.
