2 weeks ago | thehoya.com | Julia Nguyen

“I’m waiting for it, that green light, I want it.”These lyrics from Lorde’s “Green Light” rang in my head when I returned to Georgetown University for the Spring semester of my first year. Although “Green Light” is about recovering from a breakup, I interpret Lorde’s longing for “that green light” as a broader search for hope and clarity — two things I’ve desired and struggled for over the past couple of years.

“This summer is the apocalypse,” wrote Taylor Swift in August 2016. Kim Kardashian had recently released an edited video of a phone call between Swift and Kanye West, Kardashian’s then-husband, regarding his song “Famous” and its infamous line: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why?

In response to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)’s chilling detainment of the recent Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil without due process accompanied by the threat to rescind his green card, my colleagues at T’ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights, of which I am a past co-chair, penned a powerful and apt response.
Cult Classic | We Remember ‘Artpop,’ Even if Lady Gaga Doesn’t

1 month ago | thehoya.com | Nick Williams

On Nov. 11, 2019, Lady Gaga tweeted, “i don’t remember ARTPOP,” and it felt as if a mother had publicly disowned her child.
