The Quinnipiac Chronicle

Dec 3, 2024 | quchronicle.com | Gina Lorusso |Alexandra Martinakova

There isn’t a lot that can make me cry, but it is safe to say that the second season of Netflix’s and Riot Games’ “Arcane” is currently at the top of that list. Where do I even start? There’s so much that could be said about it — which is impressive considering the season only has nine episodes ranging from 39-50 minutes in length — from the visuals, voice acting, story lines and music.

Quinnipiac University students and faculty kicked off winter fesivities with the fifth annual Mt. Carmel Quad lightning outside of the Arnold Bernhard Library on Dec. 3. Students gathered on the quad to sip hot chocolate, customize paper snow globes and take photos on a sleigh. There were also four different contests such as best original sweater and most school spirit, as well as holiday trivia. “I’m so excited,” junior business major Amarri Monroe said.
The Rockettes: An overlooked holiday tradition

As the last days of autumn fade away, the holiday season begins to worm its way in. The exciting, yet bittersweet transition between seasons brings holiday cheer and, of course, cherished traditions. When it comes to Christmas, people start to put up lights and decor and play their favorite holiday songs. With holiday music, however, there is an overlooked aspect of the entertainment side of Christmas: dance.

Juice WRLD’s estate released his final album “The Party Never Ends” Nov. 29, closing the door to a discography that has reached and impacted millions of lives. This is the third posthumous album for Jarad Higgins, better known as Juice WRLD. “The Party Never Ends” has been in the works for over three years, but the final product just doesn’t feel like it. It’s difficult to get a posthumous album right because it’s impossible to know what the artist would have wanted.
How Whitney Simmons is redefining fitness

Nov 19, 2024 | quchronicle.com | Gina Lorusso

For as long as I’ve been going to the gym, it’s been hard to find authentic influencers who prioritize fitness but also refrain from pushing unrealistic standards. When I came across Whitney Simmons on TikTok, she completely changed my perception of fitness and caring for my body. Instead of encouraging you to purchase a ton of supplements and making it seem like the only way to see results is to go to the gym seven days a week, Simmons preaches progress over perfection.
Shaboozey brought some ‘Good News’

Nov 19, 2024 | quchronicle.com | Gina Lorusso |Ryan Johanson

My favorite genre of music is country, so whenever a new singer puts on their cowboy boots and strums their guitar, I have to peek at their music. That’s exactly what happened when Shaboozey appeared on my TikTok feed, teasing one of his new songs “Let It Burn.” His ability to combine country with hip-hop feels like a contrast to the slow country music we see in the genre.

I am not the world’s biggest boxing fan. I have watched as many headline fights as I have fingers on one hand. Most of the matches I have seen involve influencers. While these fights don’t compare to World Boxing Council (WBC) bouts, they capture my attention because of the names involved. But when the opponents are out of their league in age and a fight is purely a cash grab, my attention wavers.

I think I hate The Penguin — not the show, the man. HBO’s “The Penguin,” broadcasted from Sept. 19 to Nov. 10, may just be one of the greatest comic-book adaptations set on screen. The Penguin, or Oz Cobb (Colin Farrell), becomes one of the most detestable villains in the history of television over the course of eight episodes. When the show begins, the viewer is left rooting for Oz to rise in the underworld of Gotham to take what’s his. But by the end?

When you live in a society rooted in hustle culture, the concept of slowing down seems nearly impossible. Although not a new lifestyle, slow living is emerging as people are developing a need to prioritize mindfulness and quality over quantity. Often confused with neglecting responsibilities, slow living is actually shifting focus from constant productivity to a more balanced way of life.

Record players, chrome furnishing and gogoboots — it’s all making a comeback. The revival of the most iconic eras in fashion, decor and novelty items serves as a longing for past decades and the simplicity that seems to come with them. The nostalgia economy is the market where businesses and media capitalize off of consumers who purchase items based on emotional connections to time periods. In recent years, there has been a resurgence of nostalgic products on the market.
