I want to reflect on what I learned and gained from this rollercoaster of an experience. I’ve compiled 20 things that I’ve picked up as a college student in these last four years.
Adding to the ever growing list of rogue-like games, WORLD OF HORROR offers unique and inventive gameplay, settled into stylish pixel art and eldritch horror in equal amount. While the loop approach to the narrative can end up a bit predictable, WORLD OF HORROR is an indie title well worth time and price tag.
With a stunning new artistic direction and a plethora of inventive power-ups and abilities, Super Mario Wonder is a marvelous addition to Nintendo's 2D Mario lineup. Adding a host of new ideas, Nintendo captures the wonderful wackiness of imagination.
In our society, youth equates to beauty, but it shouldn’t be such a prominent point where it leads to fear. We need to stop ranking women by their age, looks or physical appeal. Women are more than the year they were born or their “fading” youth.
With innovative level design and a healthy amount of new gameplay, Sonic Superstars is a solid addition to the legacy franchise. Borrowing the better elements from past titles, the new Sonic game feels refreshing and familiar all at the same time.
I am so grateful for the leadership roles I have, but I am so tired of the emotional labor that comes with them because I am a woman.
Ending the rocky Cyberpunk legacy with a bang, CD Projekt Red delivers the final expansion to their would be RPG masterpiece with Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty. With loads of new content, bug fixes, and content overhauls, Cyberpunk can officially be considered a marvelous success.
Notes in class? Yes. Notes on life? Working on it. With that in mind, I compiled a list of 21 things I’ve learned in my first 21 years.
With stylish game design and intense mechanics, Lies of P finds itself in a world of grim fairytales and despair. Following in the footsteps of FromSoftware's growing legacy, this Soulsborne-like masterpiece captures magic with no strings attached.
Coming back to concerts after being away for years, it feels like people don’t remember how to act.
Based on my own experiences, the accommodation system in place for students with learning disabilities in elementary and middle school in the U.S. operates under the assumption that adults understand the experiences of the students better than those needing accommodation. There is a lot to be improved upon with the current system. At its core, it excludes the ones who need accommodations.
With a classic feel, Totally Killer plays the role of dumb, fun slasher to a T. While having more than a few unneeded jokes, it makes for a solid time-waster for the Halloween season.
In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, I wanted to share how being a first-generation Latina in college has led to a unique journey filled with both challenges and opportunities. As a trailblazer in my family, I’ve faced the exciting — and often overwhelming — task of navigating the contemporary educational system in America while still finding ways to embrace my cultural identity.
Even when the suffering isn’t always outwardly visible, there’s still the weighty baggage of pain that is oftentimes shouldered by those with invisible conditions. It’s important we keep an open mind so the people who are already feeling alone don’t become more isolated.
I have numerous friends and family members of the opposite gender who have shared their struggles with body image issues/eating disorders with me. It’s heartbreaking. However, the fact that men are hiding their struggles for the sake of hiding vulnerability may be even more so.
Coming after a sizeable break and a hellish rollout campaign, Doja Cat scares with a new look and a not so new sound on Scarlet. With a focus on rap and hip-hop, Scarlet has some hits, some misses, and a whole lot of red.
I don’t want to be stressing out about when I can fit cooking into my already hectic schedule. I recognize food is a necessity, so I must consume at least something, but I don’t want to be constantly thinking about it. Meal prepping has been a lifesaver in that regard.
With a consistency that borders on the preternatural, Mitski releases yet another amazing album full of beautiful production and gorgeous sincerity. Following a shift to the electronic Laurel Hell, Mitski changes paths again delivering an indie, folk, and sometimes country record that dazzles.
I am feeling burnt out. But this is not neurotypical burnout I am feeling, this is autistic burnout. The truth is, I am living in a world that is not built for autistic people with overloaded schedules, too many demands and a lack of taking care of basic needs.
