Today’s the day! After an arduous journey through the dread-filled fever dream that has been 2024, we finally made it to one of the most anticipated holidays of the calendar year—Halloween! ’Tis the season to get spooky (and creative!) with your costumes, and what better way to do that than with a group of your closest friends (or bitterest rivals?).

It’s finals season on the Hilltop. You know what that means: Ben making another tier list to avoid doing homework. However, I must start this second edition of Everything I got wrong in sports this year (EIGWISTY if you will) with terrible news. I actually had a better year in predictions than last year, and as such, do not have as many Golden Eagle and Raptor sized gaffes for you to guffaw to this time around. Fear not, though. I still did miss big on a number of occasions.

For a show called So You Think You Can Dance, the first few episodes of the latest season don’t feature very much of it. Unfortunately, the lack of dance content is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the issues present in the 18th season of the reality show. After a two year hiatus and a rebrand, So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD), a dance competition show that first aired back in 2005, returned for its 18th season in March.

In the interior of D.C.’s first all-vegan Cajun restaurant, Glenn Miller’s “In the Mood” hums through the speakers. Six shelves of still-growing microgreens are placed in front of the window, labeled “Rainbow Radish,” “Broccolini,” and “Super Spicy Greens.” A full-length mirror, complete with a French Quarter-style gilded casing, frames half a dozen small wicker tables.

Emily Dickinson said it best: “There is no Frigate like a Book / To take us Lands away.” Diving into a good novel allows you to immerse yourself in another world entirely—hopefully, one more magical than your own. For the same reason, book-to-screen adaptations are plentiful. After all, who wouldn’t want to re-experience their favorite story, cast and filmed just as they imagined it? But a live adaptation is also a double-edged sword.

The event, titled “Trans Rights in America,” was organized by Georgetown University College Democrats (GUCD). It gathered 300 students, faculty, and community members for a celebration of trans visibility. “The queer story is a story of not just surviving in the margins, but thriving in the margins,” panelist Erin Reed said.

If you are anything like me and your early teen years also featured one too many hours playing Episode (and subsequently contemplating your sanity), the premise of Choose Love (2023) would likely entice you. After venturing into the interactive film space with titles such as Black Mirror: Bandersnatch (2018), You vs. Wild (2019), and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs. The Reverend (2020), Netflix has finally applied the interactive format to a romantic comedy with Choose Love.

Almost as notorious as Taylor Swift herself are her Swifties. To a degree nearly unparalleled by any other contemporary popstar, Swift has amassed a massive, fiercely dedicated fan contingent, many of whom (these writers included!) have considered themselves Swifties for well over a decade. As Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour has highlighted, the singer has gone through countless reinventions, from changes in musical genre and aesthetics to an ever-evolving public image.
