living with friends [narrative]
By Ana Vissicchio | October 9Lately, I’ve had a lot of those mornings that when I wake up, time just stretches, and I feel gelatinous. Like Jell-O. I’ve had more of them than I can count. I greet these viscous mornings with a groggy head and eyes that won’t open beyond halfway. A blindingly bright alarm clock mocks me. It’s ...
i love every single girl i’ve ever had beef with [A&C]
By Indigo Mudbhary | October 9I first listened to BRAT a few days after it came out this summer, at the recommendation of my roommate. Other things my roommate has put me onto: cottage cheese, staying hydrated, and bell peppers. In fact, I’m borrowing her sundress as I write this. I take her recommendations seriously, so when ...
juxtaposition [post-pourri]
By Tarini Malhotra | October 2From the window, I can see rain pelting down. I like the rain. It is one of those things in life that can make one feel contrasting emotions—joy and distress, optimism and cynicism, rejuvenation and numbness—all in equal measure.
ghouls that haunt [lifestyle]
By Daphne Cao | October 2Nobody likes to be blissfully enjoying a weekend Ratty lunch only to be met with the sight of someone with whom they have less than pleasant memories.

the (seemingly) unreachable ghost stories [A&C]

hands ready to catch [narrative]
By Helen Xie | October 2“Helen, you should call yéye more often.” My father says this one afternoon as he loads the dishwasher, in a tone so normal it’s as if it is an afterthought.
operation: against my worse judgment [lifestyle]
By Nina Lidar | September 25Tick tock, tick tock, make your bed, go to class, click-clack on the keyboard, dinner. Stop, take a breath. See a friend? Hug, catch up, chitchat, chat shit, shit, it’s late and I did no work, click-clack, click-clack click-clack click-clack—there’s laughter outside and I have to chase it!—and ...
change and choice as one [narrative]
By Gabrielle Yuan | September 25I find myself in an ebb and flow state of mind—wandering in and out of consciousness—one part of me here and one in my hometown.

sounds of the quiet green [narrative]
By Sarah Frank | September 25It’s quiet here. It’s too early for cicadas, but I swear I hear them. I hear them intermingling with three girls sharing the highlights of their weekends and the rush of engines on the roads nearby. A school bus, followed by a motorcycle, followed by a minivan. I hear their engines hum, pause, rev, ...

By Sydney Pearson | September 25At the sand-colored strip mall near my elementary school, wedged between the dry cleaners and ice cream parlor, was my sister and I’s childhood playground. On long summer days or rainy afternoons, my mother would park beneath the dusty sycamores and walk us across the asphalt to the glass storefront. ...
those drawn to drawings [A&C]
By Ann Gray Golpira | September 25Like any true academic weapon on a Monday night, I found myself doom-scrolling through a multitude of questionable dances and Biden x Trump ship edits, mostly accompanied by Chappell Roan’s “Hot to Go.” However, on this particular night, I stumbled across a corner of the internet that destroyed ...
