Book Review: We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
March 8th is International Women’s Day, a day dedicated to celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. If you’re looking for a way to celebrate or spend some time reflecting on the achievements or cultural significance of why International Women’s Day is important, then look no further than Chimamanda Ngozi’s We Should All Be Feminists. We Should All Be Feminists is a short, 52-paged essay adapted from the excellent TedTalk of the same name that Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie gave in 2012. While an essay might be off-putting to some, We Should All Be Feminists reads as a conversation. It is filled with stories, observations, and other anecdotal…

Bouldering at The Rock Oasis for the First Time
If you’re looking to stay active, the best advice I can give is to find an activity that you enjoy doing. There’s nothing more counterproductive, or more grueling, than waking up at 6 a.m. to go on a run that you’ll then decide to never do again. Exercise is not a one-size-fits-all formula. You’ve got to experiment to find what works for you.

Film Review: ‘To All The Boys: P.S. I Still Love You’ Revisits ‘Happily Ever After’
The highly anticipated sequel to To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before delivers a refreshingly real take on first relationships and young love, while still keeping a rom-com spirit. Netflix released P.S. I Still Love You on February 12, two days before I settled down to watch it on Valentine’s Day. The decision to capitalize on the romantic holiday was clear––which is why I think it hit harder when Lara Jean and Peter’s first steps into their newfound relationship weren’t quite what I expected. Instead, what I got was something a little more complex than a feel-good rom-com.
