Before I attended the theater, I bought two tickets for "A Beautiful Day...

Last Friday, I had the pleasure of laying back in my chair and snacking on popcorn while I watched Rian Johnson’s “Knives Out” in theaters.  I have much to say about this film, but first let me break down my history with the murder-mystery genre.  I remember being in seventh grade when...

I must admit, I was excited about this album. And by excited, I mean very excited. I have been following King Princess’s career since her debut single, “1950,” was released back in February 2018. That March, Harry Styles had tweeted lyrics from the song, which spurred on her popularity with...

The chorus to Tessa Violet’s “Crush” has been ringing in my ears since I first heard it last year. The song, with its catchy melody, upbeat tempo, and relatable lyrics, instantly garnered the attention of many, including myself. It’s been over a year since that song was released, and she has...

I was not a fan of Rex Orange County’s newest album, “Pony.” Not having listened to many Indie pop or alternative albums before, I knew that this album was going to introduce me to a new world of music. I’ve got to say, this world was kind of disappointing. Rex’s musical career only...

"And I oop—" Hearing that there was a new boba place in Redwood City called Spill the Tea made me think of all the memes regarding James Charles and Jasmine Masters and everything in between.
