the road less traveled - the nakasendō 中山道 [A&C]
By Ellie Kang | October 16Upon seeing the RISD Museum’s Asian Art special exhibition “The Road Less Traveled - Edo’s Nakasendō” in my Urban Studies seminar, I was inspired. Featuring a plethora of works from my favorite ukiyo-e (Japanese woodblock print) artists Utagawa Hiroshige and Katsushika Hokusai, the beautiful ...
take art leave art share art! [A&C]
By Alyssa Sherry | October 16I have always loved the way that cubes of chicken stock dissolve into hot broth. My grandmother first taught me how to make chicken noodle soup when I couldn’t even see over the top of the stove. She sat me down on the counter next to the pot, explaining each ingredient as my grandfather helped chop ...
familiarity [narrative]
By Samaira Mohunta | October 16I stepped onto a campus sidewalk, two days after the rush of move-in and still unsure how to find my way to V-Dub from my EmWool dorm, the Main Green a foreign field. I remember staring at your face, confused about why you were extending your arm forward to shake my hand, completely oblivious to the ...
dive [narrative]
By Danielle Li | October 16I squeeze my eyes shut before the dive, even though they’re encased in my thick, blurry goggles. Perhaps my fear has to do with the near-drowning incident two summers ago, when the artificial blue waves of Sahara Sam’s Water Park held me down and I suddenly couldn't remember which way the sky was. ...

Whether you have family coming to visit you from home, a fun weekend planned with the friends and family you’ve found here on campus, or a study date with yourself at a library to lock in, this weekend has a bunch of fun events and activities in store!

the view from the window seat [lifestyle]
By Yana Giannoutsos | October 15I think best in transit.
the estate sale [lifestyle]
By Liv Moon | October 15The first time I went to an estate sale, I showed up with a tote bag and a pocket full of small bills. I’m not entirely sure what I expected, but I definitely did not anticipate feeling as though I was trespassing.
windowsill gatherings [feature]
By Tseyang Dolma Arow | October 15A gap in the calendar. A kind of pause that hovers as the months bleed into each other, when leaves flow in the wind and daylight thins into dusk. From a windowsill, the gap is like the pause between inside and outside, connecting what is still clinging to what has already stepped away.
confessions of a 33-year-old first-year RUE [lifestyle]
By Merissa Underwood | October 8Walking through the Van Wickle gates on Convocation Day held a similar sensation to competing in Miss USA. A crowd of people cheering, flags waving proudly, and the glimmer of hope that my life was about to change—though this time, I was walking into classrooms rather than across a stage in 6” heels ...
my labubu horror (?) story [A&C]
By Ann Gray Golpira | October 8While some stay up late refreshing their internet browsers for just-released concert tickets, merch drops, or even current affairs, the only thing enticing enough to convince me to stay up past my 10 p.m. bedtime was, of all things…a Labubu.
paris at 1pm [narrative]
By Coco Kanders | October 8Seemingly, Paris is quiet at 1 p.m. on a Monday—at least in the Marais. I am sitting outside of a café, hoping for a mysterious, protagonistic moment with my journal and my whole milk latte (something only acceptable in France). The wind sends shivers down my spine, ripples through the pages of my ...
no original experiences [post-pourri]
By Alayna Chen | October 8“That wasn't on my 2025 Bingo card.”
longboard days [narrative]
By AnnaLise Sandrich | October 8When we were kids, my cousin Lucas liked to build stuff. A computer, once, I think, and definitely a 3D printer. His house was filled with all these gadgets that seemed like they had been beamed straight out of a sci-fi movie. He was three years older than me and the coolest person I knew. My younger ...
what's in a name? [lifestyle]
By April Wang | October 8For my high school graduation, the presenter read every single person’s name out loud. During rehearsals, they invited people to correct any pronunciation of names in preparation for the actual ceremony. I ignored their announcements, spacing out in boredom and wishing they would finish faster so ...
it's like this [A&C]
By Chelsea Long | October 8You probably already know what a simile is. I have this distinct memory of sitting in a classroom, age nine or ten, tipping from side to side in one of those blue plastic chairs and listening to my teacher explain literary devices. Metaphor. Hyperbole. Onomatopoeia. I do wonder if there’s a better ...
on artistry [feature]
By Ivy Rockmore | October 8I have never seen a yellow-rumped warbler in real life, though I feel like I have because of the hundreds of photos I’ve looked at. They are small, stout creatures with a pronounced beak. The black feathers surrounding their eyes make them appear more like deer than birds. They carry daisy-yellow ...
