notes on the possibility of home [lifestyle]
By Ishan Khurana | March 13My head fits into the groove between my mother’s shoulder and neck as though I was born out of her collarbone, and I often wonder how where I come from decides where I go.

lessons from number theory [lifestyle]
By Indigo Mudbhary | March 13The “fun fourth class” is a coveted space in the Brown undergrad’s schedule.

Whether or not you’re living out college as your high school self said you would, you’ve likely taken ...
restful rhythms [lifestyle]
By Katherine Mao | March 6Work culture consumes us. Our Google Calendars are piled with one event after another. Our days pass in a flash.

note to self [lifestyle]

how to meet new people [lifestyle]
By Zoe Park | February 28Did you transfer here midyear and feel so utterly alone? Do you hang out with people that you enjoy, but at the same time feel that nobody truly knows you? There’s a difference between meeting and knowing people. Every day, you introduce yourself and go through the list: name, year, pronouns, and ...
tweed and me [lifestyle]
By Sean Toomey | February 28If one had to summarize all of menswear—its ups and downs, bell bottoms, shin huggers, and oxford bags—into an essential fabric, it would have to be tweed.

heart beating of a campus crush [lifestyle]
By Gabrielle Yuan | February 21As you sit tucked in the hidden nooks around campus, nestled on a bench with a hot chai latte in hand, you can’t help but look up from your work and take in all of the unfamiliar faces—the crowds of students walking to their morning class or racing to the Blue Room.
outfits prompts and you [lifestyle]
By Sean Toomey | February 13Oftentimes I find myself struggling with intentionality in my outfits, merely throwing the basic array of my favorites together into an acceptable pattern as I gather enough energy to get to breakfast. It’s a difficult pill for me to swallow. I have never been a capsule wardrobe person; my goal has ...
astrology for hustlers [lifestyle]
By Olivia Cohen | February 7Budgets get tight at the beginning of the calendar year. Holiday shopping and celebrations leave wallets considerably thinner, and many college students make New Year’s resolutions to fix their finances. February in Providence is already bleak—don't make it worse with a boring campus job! If you ...
solving the secret to sibling dynamics [lifestyle]
By Gabrielle Yuan | December 6During orientation week in August, I discovered that making small talk is one of my specialities.
