Why Can’t You be Happy for Me?
Why my friends stopped finding me interesting after I fell in love: BY LAURA MCREYNOLDS “Do you fight often?” was the first question my friend asked me about my boyfriend. It was the first time I had seen her in years, and we were meeting for coffee. I felt a familiar panic— lie or tell the truth. I find myself telling her about an irrelevant spat we had, making the story angrier and more dramatic than it truly was. I did this because I didn’t want to face the familiar glazed expression, the feigned enthusiasm followed by silence that follows when I tell the truth— I am happy with my…

Skyrim— A Revolutionary RPG
BY LAURA MCREYNOLDS Skyrim is a revolutionary open-world Role-Playing Game (RPG). Released in late 2011, it is the fifth instalment of the Elder Scrolls series, developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. The graphics of Skyrim far surpass that of its most recent predecessor, Oblivion, released in 2006. Notably, Skyrim provides a more fluid gaming experience than the previous Elder Scrolls games because it no longer requires the player choose a character class when setting up their character, which made the gameplay too rigid from an early point in the game. As with previous Elder Scrolls games, Skyrim is based in the fictional continent of Tamriel, with…

BY REBECCA BOWSLAUGH DC superheroes are becoming a regular occurrence in my television lineup. Arrow, based on DC’s Green Arrow, is in its third season and has amassed a large (obsessed) following. Like Arrow, The Flash fights his local criminal element with the help of his technical (and emotional) support team.

Gone Girl: Adapting to Success
BY REBECCA BROWN The film adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl by director David Fincher is a thrilling and eery representation of an incredible novel. Raking in over $136 million at the box office, this blockbuster has earned its spot as one of the top thrillers of 2014. The film succeeds in staying remarkably close to the book’s original plot, a pleasant change compared to many other book-to-screen adaptations, as author Gillian Flynn was given the rare opportunity to write the screenplay herself. Ben Affleck stars as Nick Dunne, delivering a believable representation of a brooding character you either love or hate. Alongside Affleck, Rosamund Pike stars as wife Amy…
