On a campus where diversity, identity, and self-expression remain predominant, the University of Connecticut emerges as an academic symbol of inclusivity. At UConn, every identity is celebrated and welcomed. Students, along with faculty and staff, are continuing to educate themselves and create a more accepting and inclusive space for all.

The delivery of a large box of trendy clothing can only be described as euphoric, especially when it doesn’t break the bank.

Wellness can be challenging, and I mean really challenging. As a college sophomore, I understand how difficult wellness can feel, especially when juggled with societal expectations for a stereotypical “college experience.” The concept of wellness may seem like a purely visual objective, but the path to true wellness and inner peace means so much more.

The concept of trends and aesthetics has recently taken social media by storm, and the “Clean Girl Aesthetic” is no exception. Most trends hit the media with a bang and slowly fade out after several months, but the “Clean Girl Aesthetic” has continued strong since its appearance in 2022. This aesthetic sells an image of perfection with its slicked-back buns, glowing skin, minimalist outfits, and no-makeup makeup looks. It is a picture of effortless beauty, but its message is not quite as beautiful.
