With Wesleyan football’s first home game against Tufts this past weekend, we wanted to set the record straight: you can cum before your next big game, match, or tournament without negatively affecting your athletic performance. The myth that engaging in sexual activity before sports can alter one’s performance has been around since the Olympics were […]
I’m sure you have heard of “The Catcher in the Rye,” and maybe you have heard of “The Royal Tenenbaums.” Now here’s what you may not know: J.D. Salinger, who wrote “The Catcher in the Rye,” wrote only three more books, and all of them featured the Glass family, who inspired Wes Anderson’s Tenenbaums. Now, […]
Yet again, the Wesleyan community is haunted by campus safety alerts after a Bennet Hall break-in was reported last Friday. This not only induces fear but begs the question of whether campus is safe for us students. I think we could do better, and I think these are some ways we can make our campus […]
Last year, Wesleyan University experienced a surge of student activism, particularly in reaction to the Israel-Hamas War. Debate on campus about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is unlikely to cease this semester due to the Board of Trustees’ plan to vote on divestment from corporations profiteering from the war. Concurrent with the board’s planned vote on divestment is the […]

Do debates really matter when it comes to the outcome of an election? Generally not. For every Joe Biden (“We finally beat Medicare!”), Rick Perry (“Oops”), or George H.W. Bush (“What time is it?”) moment, you have 100 milquetoast debates that made no difference in the outcome of the election. Instead, today’s presidential debates are […]
In my opinion based only on what I have seen, there has only been one truly great fictional American TV show from the past five or so years. This show mixes high stakes drama with laugh out loud comedy. It surpasses anything anyone else seems interested in doing in Hollywood. Every conversation, sentence, word out […]
Let me set the scene: I’m both an international student and a transfer student. When I left my previous college and matriculated to Wesleyan, I had to buy all new dorm essentials—unlike other domestic students, I don’t have a house that I can just leave my things in over the summer. But I wasn’t about […]
A year ago, I wrote an article about my experience at International Student Orientation (ISO) as a participant. Reading it now, my takes seem so simple, and perhaps that is due to the rigorous planning behind ISO that makes it appear seamless. This year, being an Orientation Leader (OL) for ISO was truly a through-the-looking-glass experience into all […]
First, we, the writers of the column, would like to start out by admitting that we are imposters. The originators of “Pillow Talk” have passed on (they graduated in the spring) and they entrusted us with carrying out the duties of Dill and Doe. A little about us, we don’t do anything on this campus […]
