How sorrowful, dreary, and old these stifled landscapes and people seemed— holding their breath in muted, bound anticipation. Of course, when we learned this was just a filter on the world, all an illusion, we rejoiced that the people of that era were indee

Online gambling regulations are heating up
Art by Afreen Majumdar It’s 11:00 at night, I have to wake up at 6:30 the next morning to get ready for school. I'm trying to calculate the amount of sleep I could hypothetically get if I sleep right now. I am not going to sleep right now. The light of my phone blares in the corner of my vision as my curated ‘Watch Later’ playlist skips to the next video disrupting the careful scratch of my pencil as I jot down history notes without registering a single thing. An ad starts to

This phenomenon occurs when an urban area (the city) experiences much warmer temperatures than rural, undeveloped areas surrounding it. Because the sun reaches the city and rural areas the same way, t
