Cameos, tech bros and bears — oh my! By: Savannah Sisk Credit: Youtube/Pepsi The average American is exposed to between  4,000 to 10,000 ads a day. We used to ignore most of them by easily skipping until two years ago, when Youtube made unskippable ads a frustrating reality for billions of users.  Unfortunately, streaming services were quick to follow suit. The commercial break has been replaced with a string of ads and a countdown clock in the bottom lefthand corner of your

On the shift from pleasure to performance, and what it means to truly feel again By: Eriel Pichardo Credit: Pinterest  Sex is complicated. It can be this fun and enticing activity you share with a partner or even a random person you meet on a dating app that you’ll never see again. It can also feel like doing drunk karaoke at a random bar or balancing on a yoga ball during your first high intensity pilates class—equal parts awkward and uncomfortable.  But as I go through my “

How Sydney Sweeney reduced decades of media journalism to “I did a jean ad” By: Francesca Jaques Credit: Business Insider In a time where I didn’t think things could get more  boring, humanity has completely renounced its right to a personality.

Because everyone loves a little drama By: Shelby Hickman Credit: Collider It’s a tale as old as time. Girl meets boy. They fall in love. Do they live happily ever after?  Of course not, it’s never that simple. Enter a third party. Perhaps the male love interest’s brother, a past lover, an old friend, you name it.  And while these love stories are sometimes a bit farfetched, they’ve captivated audiences on screens and in pages for decades.  This trope is not just something inv

As the performative male population grows, so do the chances of them actually becoming decent human beings.  By: Carolina Castro Credit: Pinterest Performative men: We all love to make fun of them and refer to them as a rapidly growing epidemic, but what if I told you they’re not spawning quickly enough?  Sure, it’s annoying to have a man share common interests with you only to find out it was all a lie to get you in bed. But I believe we can use these facades to our advantag

By charging a monthly fee for “Memories,” Snapchat reminds users that human memory is finite By: Virginia “Ginger” Gilbert Credit: Kaspersky  A selfie at a high school football game, a video of a roadtrip with people you haven’t seen in years, a picture of your late childhood dog - all frozen in time.
