By Hannah Wisterman Blog Content Contributor Guess what, folks? I’ve had a terrible week. I mean, just awful. I’m stressed, I’m worried, I’m exhausted, I’m burned out, I’m homesick, I’m sad, and the universe is doing an Irish stepdance on my soul. Everything sucks and is horrible. But every time someone has asked me how I’m doing, I’ve given them a sheepish smile and said, “Well, you know, I’m alright.” […]
By Hannah Wisterman Music Journalist The season of the Christmas album is upon us, and as we start to pick our Yuletide tunes for this year, we will inevitably draw from the categories we draw from with all music: what we grew up with and what we found ourselves. If you particularly love music and particularly love Christmas, as I do, this is a golden period for the “found ourselves” […]
By Hannah Wisterman Blog Content Contributor Adulthood has its perks, but in general, it kind of sucks. You have to buy your own groceries, pay your own rent, and suddenly you’re an actual taxpayer. Notice a common theme here? Everything costs money, and most of us don’t have cash to burn.

Everyone gets excited at the idea of presents, but what do you do when you’ve got a heart full of love and a wallet full of next to nothing? With the holidays upon us, you could scour the web and the mall for the sweetest […]
By Hannah Wisterman Blog Content Contributor You would think that you would know “the weird side” of the internet when you found it. So imagine my surprise when I scrolled down to the comments of a YouTube video and found someone declaring, “Guess I found the weird part of YouTube again,” on a clip that fit right into my daily life. The video? An ASMR video featuring camera touching and […]
By Hannah Wisterman Music Journalist There's nothing quite like diving into an album and letting yourself stew in it for a while. To enjoy a record from beginning to end is to appreciate an artist’s full and complete vision, and to get inside their psyche, in a way. But sometimes this can go even further. Sometimes an album doesn’t just show how an artist has been thinking and feeling in […]
By Hannah Wisterman Blog Content Contributor Television has shaped the culture of our nation and indeed of our globe for practically 70 years now. It has an enormous impact on how we perceive social issues, what we find funny, the fashion trends we follow, the one-liners and in-jokes we slip into everyday conversation; in short, to be “with the times”, it would seem that you need to watch TV.

My British literature professor mentioned it in the day’s lecture with a level of matter-of-fact-ness that was completely disproportionate to my reaction: I froze in the middle of taking notes and started tearing up.
