Humans of Quarantine: My Mom
Chansochata Thon, Feature Page Editor
June 5, 2020
When the first outcry from WuHon China began, I remember the immediate fear my mom had. I was worried, but I thought she was paranoid. She would always tell me to bring a facemask to school, stop eating at school, and to wash my hand before I enter the car. As a typical sixteen-year-old, I became irri...

“This feeling is overpowering” for Chris (AKA: Moose), and so are the sounds used on his debut EP. I never imagined an indie band creating an album so bad that it’s worse than Justin Bieber, but lo and behold, As Advertised did it. I’m happy his wife thinks it’s cute, but I can’t imagin...

Last year in January a show on Netflix was released called Sex Education.

It’s 2020: the start of a new decade, new year, and a new generation of pop culture. I would’ve liked to think, given how many decent popular albums that were coming out as the previous decade was coming to a close, that we would start this year off with a bang - have a second “roaring 20s”...
