Another semester is upon us and as always, The Argus is here to tell you what’s hot and what’s not! For 2023, here is a Washington Post-inspired Wesleyan “Ins and Outs” list. Listen, learn, and obey: Ins Lying to your psychiatrist Friends with benefits Usdan pasta The humanities The stacks Weshop Sushi WestCo Unfriendly RAs […]
Curiosity always kills the cat. Out of a mixture of intrigue and boredom, I began watching the Netflix series “Indian Matchmaking” just after it was released in 2020. The restlessness brought on by quarantine had gotten to me, and I had just about exhausted the Netflix catalog at this point. I finished the show in […]
It’s a sunny day at Wesleyan University. The picnic blankets are out, which means the weed and cigarettes are too. The night brings beers in hand and Naloxone in pant pockets. Someone spilled poppers on a dorm floor. I didn’t know much about Wesleyan before my acceptance beyond its prestigious academic reputation and connection to […]
New semester, new me! Yuck. We probably all know someone who fancifully proclaimed that they were going to reinvent themselves in college. I knew many, and I scoffed at all of them when they excitedly announced that they would be stepping into a new identity after graduation. “Why change?” I wondered. “How unhappy must you […]
We’ve been thinking long and hard about what to leave you all with for our final article of the semester, and we decided that nothing would be better than chatting about squirting.

The two are not usually talked about together—the media either publicizes the reality of being a Christian or the reality of being a part of the LGBTQ+ community. But what about those of us who identify as both Christian and LGBTQ+? Unfortunately, […]
As a first-year, one of the first things I did was sign up to write for The Argus. My high school didn’t have a student newspaper, and I had Rory Gilmore-esque dreams of being an editor. Too nervous to conceptualize attending the first meeting, I talked myself out of going. I worried I wouldn’t be […]
It was the last day of sophomore year of college—or my last day, at least. I had opted to leave nearly a week early to start my summer job and was sorely regretting it. (How was I supposed to know, after two semesters of the worst pandemic-infested freshman year on record, when everyone escaped home […]
Socks or no socks during sex? Sex to music or television? Sex in silence? Public or private sex? Rough or slow? With strangers or partners? Nearly everyone has an opinion on how sex should or shouldn’t be done, even if that opinion is that everyone should do what they want in the bedroom. Should everyone […]
