on violins [narrative]
by Danielle Li on May 1
It is difficult for me to wax poetic about the beauty of a stringed instrument in a way that hasn’t been done before by countless violinists, violists, cellists, and bassists. In fact, my description would be much lesser in fluency and articulation, albeit meant with the same sincerity.
lowercase, with a hyphen [A&C]
by Indigo Mudbhary on April 30
Whenever I am brainstorming what to write about for the Arts & Culture section of this fantastic publication, I tend to make a list of the films, TV series, books, songs, albums, and other media that I have consumed recently. But as I geared up to do this once again, I realized that there is an ...
old beginnings [feature]
by Eleanor Dushin on April 29
Cantonese Jericho and I are almost never on the same page. When I’m doing well, he’s getting dumped, and when I’m bedridden, he’s globetrotting. We joke that we can’t both be happy at the same time: One of us has to be miserable for the other to prosper.
perspectives from a chronic overthinker [lifestyle]
by Maria Kim on April 29
Over time, interests ebb and flow, as do the questions that surround them. Being a philosophy major, it is in my nature to question anything and everything that comes my way. I wonder about occurrences as large as the blizzards that enveloped Brown’s campus this semester, a personal attack against ...

let me put you on, one last time [A&C]
by Ozzy Wagenseil on April 22
Sometimes I think about how the songs I listen to affect my mood. For instance, what kind of songs should I listen to when I’m sad? Do I listen to this sad song to wallow in my low feelings? Do I listen to more happy music to cheer me up? I’ve never been able to find the right answer to that question. ...
which section of post- are you? [lifestyle]
by Indigo Mudbhary on April 22
I’ve been a part of post- for as long as I’ve been a Brown student. Over the years, I’ve often thought about what my last post- article would be. Would I pass on sage advice to the younger generations? Would I reflect on the highs and lows of my four years here? Would I recount funny memories ...
the real housewives of rhode island: an initial review [A&C]
by Sofie Zeruto on April 22
Funnily enough, this will be my second post- article about The Real Housewives franchise in two years. Consider me an expert on all things Bravo and Andy Cohen. My credentials include hundreds of hours of the Bravo channel humming in the background of my single-mother household, as well as countless ...
halfway notes [feature]
by Michelle Bi on April 22
Lately I’ve been in Steinert, trying to figure things out. My fingertips hover over the piano like anxious crows waiting to land. I drop them, slide my hands up and down the keys, trace a path from black to white to black again. Still the notes don’t sound right. Still, I am hunting for the rhythm. ...
the fantasy feed [feature]
by Kayla Morrison on April 22
Fellow doom-scrollers on TikTok would know about a new language of liberal feminism circulating on the platform. Over the past few years, it’s arrived in fragments: “I’m just a girl,” “girl dinner,” “girl math,” Palestine and Israel explained as your girl friends fighting, tutorials ...
a matter of time [narrative]
by Vanessa Tao on April 22
By coincidence, every time I sit down to write a post- article, I happen to be next to my seventh-grade best friend who is the only one from home who went as far from home as me—selfishly, I dragged him to NYU when I knew I wanted to go to Brown—and we always happen to be in a coffee shop, him studying ...

by Jessica Lee on April 15
By this point in the school year, you have certainly figured out your favorite dining halls and go-to meals…But have you ever stopped to consider which dining hall matches your personality—not just your dietary preferences?
