COLUMN: Les Misérables brings the revolution to IU Auditorium
(09/26/24 10:05pm)
I remember the first time I listened to “Les Misérables.” I was in fifth grade and had been given the sheet music to “Castle on a Cloud” by my vocal coach. The song is sweet and one of great yearning, as it details a young Cosette’s longing to escape her servant-esque life. When I started singing, it was clear I truly had no idea how to act out the song. My vocal coach gave me the assignment to watch the musical’s 25th Anniversary Concert and thus my obsession began.
OPINION: Living with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis: A daily battle with an invisible illness
(09/19/24 6:48pm)
Every morning, I wake up an hour earlier than anyone else in my house, not for the sake of preparation, but to take my medication for Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. The ritual is meticulous: I swallow the pill on an empty stomach and wait patiently for an hour before consuming anything. This daily routine is a small, yet constant reminder of the invisible struggle that comes with Hashimoto’s condition.

OPINION: The hidden link between mental and menstrual health and why it matters
(09/05/24 9:34pm)
Many women might not realize that their mental health is impacting their menstrual well-being, and vice versa, until it starts affecting them personally. For years, I struggled to understand why my emotions were a roller coaster each month. It wasn't until I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome at 18 years old that I learned how deeply intertwined my mental health was with my menstrual health. PCOS is a common condition that affects hormones. It causes irregular menstrual periods, excess hair growth, acne and infertility.
OPINION: Mind your messes
(09/05/24 9:24pm)
When I moved back into my house in Bloomington this August, I took note of the new neighbors joining my block as they funneled into their new houses with cars packed to the brim and concerned parents in tow. Moving into a new place almost inevitably generates plenty of trash, including furniture, appliances and all the other pieces of plastic we need to buy to live comfortably.

BREAKING NEWS! TAMPONS CONTAIN LEAD!
OPINION: We experience political violence every day
(07/22/24 4:09pm)
At 6:10 p.m. July 13, former President Donald Trump was shot at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and that is a particular series of words I never thought I’d type and publish. The assassination attempt was unsuccessful, yes — the candidate made it out with only a minor wound on his right ear, a fate not shared with attendee Corey Comperatore, who died — but it’s impossible to overstate exactly how close we came to watching Trump drop dead. The video says it all: had Trump not moved his head slightly to the right only a second before the first POP, he almost certainly would not have lived.
OPINION: Not just for the old and bored
(07/19/24 4:23pm)
Growing up, there’s a stereotypical scene that I’ve come across in multiple television shows and books: A grandmother sitting on a rocking chair, whiling away her time knitting yet another sweater for her grandchildren to give this Christmas. Naturally, following media culture and stereotypes, it didn’t take me too long to link needlework activities like knitting, crocheting and stitching with the elderly.
OPINION: Take a test before taking office
(06/27/24 6:49pm)
Joe Biden is the oldest president in U.S. history. He is 81 years old and disturbingly exceeds the median age for global leaders, most of whom are in their 50s and 60s.
OPINION: Sleep is not for the weak
(06/19/24 8:30pm)
Getting quality sleep often gets overlooked during the summer months. Unlike a weekday during the school year, every day feels like a weekend and can be filled with late nights with friends, staying on your phone or watching TV. It's okay to occasionally pull off these late nights, but the lack of a consistent sleep schedule can have significant implications.

OPINION: Money is terrifying
(05/12/24 3:32pm)
I spent all summer saving up my money through my internship and working at my local farmers market, yet it all seems to escape quicker than I can make it. Over the past year, the fear of money has grown substantially. I spent months on the phone with Chase Bank due to errors regarding my debit card getting hacked five times and my credit card getting hacked once. They kept canceling my cards and sending new ones, but nothing was stopping the continuous charges on my accounts. The new technology to improve the hackers' abilities has made the world of money unsafe. I try to take every precaution to avoid places where my card could get hacked, but the internet is an unavoidable trap.
OPINION: Trail mix changed my life
(05/09/24 7:38pm)
Before understanding the importance of nutrition and what it means to truly “fuel your body,” I not only had a terrible diet but poor eating habits. I’ve always been a consistent snacker but never put an emphasis on eating proper meals. I often ruined my appetite as a child and young adult due to my mediocre food and time management; for example, I would frequently eat a large bag of chips twenty minutes before my father prepared a meal for the table.
