Read MoreFive days after the election, I sat in my Brooklyn apartment filtering through the previous week’s pent-up emails. After days of haphazardly wading through work, school and the onslaught of conflicting information, I found myself exhausted and behind. As I opened the third email of the day with some variation of “URGENT: TIME SENSITIVE” as the subject line, screams erupted from outside my bedroom window.
Read MoreI have walked through the Metropolitan Museum of Art on 5th Avenue more times than I can count. During my five years in New York City, the towering ceilings and echoing halls have provided a constant refuge and source of solace amid uncertainty and upheaval. 2020 has been an exceptional year, but this familiar place remains the same, even after months of closure.
Read MoreIn the age of TikTok and memes, the 2008 phenomenon, “Twilight,” has somehow made a cultural renaissance. This resurgence may have something to do with “Twilight” writer and conceptualizer, Stephanie Meyer’s recent release of a companion story to the saga—Midnight Sun. Though the series just celebrated its 12th anniversary, “Twilight” seems to be making a comeback in the Gen Z media cycle—perhaps similar even to the age of “Team Edward” and “Team Jacob” Hot Topic t-shirts circa 2008.

Read MoreWorn-down armrest-less chairs occupied by the occasional patient lined the walls of the room. There were two vending machines off to the side. One sold beverages. The other sold cheap snacks: Doritos, potato chips, pretzels, peanut butter M&Ms, probably some odd breakfast pastry too. I always found it strange to put pastries in a vending machine. Something about it seems unnatural; it’s like seeing a shark on top of a mountain.
Read MoreThe United States has entered a deadly new stage of the COVID-19 pandemic, hitting record highs in confirmed new cases this past week. Colleges are not immune to the spread of the disease. The New York Times has been tracking cases among some colleges and universities, reporting on Nov. 19 that over 68,000 cases had been reported among colleges since early November.
Read MoreIn its glory days—or rather, glory nights—China Chalet boasted high-profile attendees at its restaurant-transformed-nightclub: from actor Timothée Chalamet to rappers Cardi B and Denzel Curry, to the infamous Ghislaine Maxwell. Not only did it become a haven for modern America’s gentry, but it welcomed the serfs as well; it didn’t cater to one community or genre of people.

Read MoreWith the entrance to the official Blood Manor just in sight, a Harley Quinn Impersonator gave us one final taste of the night to come. She said, “Can’t wait to kill you and make your friends watch!” in an oddly sensual tone that left us slightly unsettled as to the nature of her character. So far, a whacked, disorienting attempt at subtle eroticism.
Walking in through those doors gave us this strange sense of completion: the only way out now is through. Walking in single-file, with Seth in lead and our friend Jon Adler in caboose, we braved the night. Thankfully, and less interestingly, the slightly psychotic power dynamic had dwindled away.
