Valentine’s Day is known for honoring love, connection and generosity. However, the holiday also has a tendency to center around materialism, which can make it difficult to celebrate sustainably. There’s a balance between showing affection to those you care about and showing compassion for the planet.

If you’re an Instagram user, chances are you’ve seen “Phone eats first,” a well-loved catchphrase for Instagram foodies. It might seem a little overdone, or even somewhat laced with braggadocio; but now, more than ever, that couldn’t be further from the truth. During quarantine, it’s important to celebrate any semblance of normalcy you come across. Why not show off the food you’ve been served on a rare night outside of your apartment? Give yourself permission to recognize the special parts of your week with these tips for sharing your meals to your social media feed.

If you’re currently in the Northwest corner of D.C., then you know that this semester will be unlike any other with big changes: virtual classes, social distancing and about 100 percent less school-provided meals. Without the safety cushion of meal swipes to get through the school day, the responsibility falls onto students to make sure that their pantries are fully stocked with snacks and that their fridges are full enough to deliver, hopefully, three meals a day. If this is your first time living without the perks of a meal plan, this might seem like an overwhelming task. This essential guide to NW D.C.’s grocery stores is an easy place to start.

I’m a huge fan of Netflix’s smash hit show, “Stranger Things.” Nearly everyone I interact with on campus has binged watched the second season since its recent premiere. I consider myself a proud member of the majority on this. Director Duffer Brother’s usage of 80’s tropes, music and hair products (see Steve Harrington’s Farah Fawcett spray) bring forth a nostalgia for a time I never even lived through. The show references some of the great eighties sci fi films, from “Ghostbusters” and “ET” to “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” and “Dazed and Confused.” There are plenty of non-sci fi references too, with nods to John Hughes’ "The Breakfast Club" and Howard Deutch’s "Pretty in Pink".

The clocks have turned back and the afternoon sunlight is dimming earlier and earlier every day. Winter is fast approaching, even if the abnormally warm weather still has me questioning if I’ll need a coat when I leave in the morning. This time of year comes with delights such as Pumpkin Spice Lattes, holiday celebrations, cozy sweaters and warming comfort foods. For many of us, however, it also brings about a type of yearly depression known as Seasonal Affective Disorder.

This September has seen one deadly and destructive hurricane after another. Devastation from Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria have plastered the news for well over a month now. Humanitarian relief is desperately needed in the areas affected by these disasters where it will take months, and in some cases years, to rebuild.

A few days ago, Joe Henao wrote about ways for the left to counter Donald Trump’s supporters, proposing that instead of altering language in the name of political correctness, they should “radically reorganize the ways in which we relate to one another.”

There have been few events in world history that have successfully connected people from all around the planet regardless of country or culture. In 1969, when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first human beings to set foot on the moon, the world watched in awe of the scientific and technological feat that so closely resembled a miracle.

Solar panels are, arguably, old news. The eco-friendly technology has been around for decades now, since Russell Ohl successfully created the first silicon cell in 1941. Thirteen years later, the first full solar panel was invented by three American researchers. Since then, they’ve been marketed to the public as a cost effective way to do one’s part in helping protect the environment.

Last April, I, like most other AU students, was in the thick of second semester and gearing up for final exams. I was not getting enough sleep and spent long hours in the library. The last thing I needed was to get sick, but as life tends to go, that is exactly what happened. I started to notice my eyes becoming bloodshot and my nose running constantly throughout the day and night. Around the third day of feeling sick, I woke up and looked in the mirror to see my left eye completely red and swollen. I knew it was time to see a doctor, so I paid a visit to the AU Health Center. There, I was told I had conjunctivitis and was prescribed an antibiotic.
