On aesthetics and açaí bowls

On aesthetics and açaí bowls

Shira Moolten

Appreciating beauty, from a bowl of blended fruit to the Big Dipper on a walk back to my dorm at night, has allowed me to escape from the constant pressures of a success-oriented culture. It has taught me that there is more to life than charging towards achievement after achievement, that I should take time to smell the flowers, or order the açaí bowl.

Sexpert: Testicularly Concerned

Sexpert: Testicularly Concerned

sexpert

Dear Sexpert, Like most college students, I spend most of my day on my laptop, working on assignments or watching Netflix in bed. I recently read on a men’s health website that using your laptop on your lap can damage sperm production in the future. I’m obviously not planning on having kids now, but if I keep using my laptop on my lap, will there be any long-term damage down there? Sincerely, Testicularly Concerned

Attention: Lifeguard needed ASAP

Attention: Lifeguard needed ASAP

Ashley Nurse

Princeton: We need more breaks. The drive to be the best can become very taxing on a student’s mental health, and the last thing any student wants is to crash.

Mousey musings

Mousey musings

Priya Vulchi

Because whether it’s for something as small as mice in my room, to a professor saying something offensive in class, I don’t want my gratitude to hold me back — especially regarding injustices on campus because, unlike the mice, I can control my choice to confront them.

Single and fabulous

Single and fabulous

Leora Eisenberg

Just because you are single doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy college or learn about yourself. I’ve realized that being single often means that you can do so more.

Sexpert: Does Size Matter?

Sexpert: Does Size Matter?

sexpert

Dear Sexpert, I’ve only recently started watching porn online, and I’ve seen countless advertisements about “guaranteed” ways to make my penis bigger. Also, the guys in the videos are usually longer than I am. I never really questioned my size before watching porn, and I’m starting to feel as if I won’t be able to please my partner if I don’t do something about my penis size. So I’m wondering: does size really matter?

Challenging the boundaries of religion

Challenging the boundaries of religion

Daniel Te

So I set the following challenge for myself: attend any religious event that I get personally invited to, provided that I have time — with the caveat that if it’s a recurring event, then I am only obligated to go to the first meeting.

Definitely not too cool for school

Definitely not too cool for school

Leora Eisenberg

Does it sometimes bother me that I’m not “cool”? Of course it does. There are days when I would give anything to be the type of person who fits in at Ivy Club or would rush Kappa Alpha Theta. But thinking with my grown-up brain, I’m pretty happy with myself.

Will I finish this degree or will it finish me?

Will I finish this degree or will it finish me?

Ashley Nurse

We sit around, mumble, groan, and complain about all the things we need to do — all the things that must get done — instead of actually doing it. I am not trying to attack anyone, but all I am saying is that in the time it takes to go on Snapchat and rant behind a black screen, those readings could have been completed.

What is Plan B?

What is Plan B?

sexpert

Dear Sexpert, My friend told me that she went to McCosh Health Center this morning to get Plan B after having unprotected sex with her boyfriend. I am curious to find out more about how Plan B works. Is it the same as an abortion? — Plan A Preferred

Stop swiping, say hello

Stop swiping, say hello

Noa Wollstein

Don’t lie in bed, idly swiping through the faces you see every day. Just say hello. What’s the worst that could happen?
