I’ve spent more time watching TV this year than during my last three years of college. My freshman year, I essentially cut myself off from watching TV to “focus.” While binge-watching can definitely be distracting, it's important to see how valuable TV can be. Sitting down to watch an episode (or more) with friends after a long day is revitalizing. Watching your comfort show lets you escape from your worries. And keeping up with TV can be a great way to start conversation.

Dear Professor Kamtekar,

It is an interesting thing to see trends come back from your own youth. I had always thought that it would be years and years before I experienced this — I’ve had visions of me making fun of my children for wearing baggy pants and Adidas sneakers in thirty years. However, I have begun noticing an old trend resurfacing among my peers as I walk across campus. Yes, college reader, we are old enough to have trends resurface and the newly resurrected trend is headphones with wires.

Since the day Spring Break ended, I have felt like a masked vigilante, except instead of wearing a spandex suit to physically fight criminals, I was wearing a red dress to verbally fight my on-stage husband. By day, I have been a student, meticulously taking notes and (trying my best) to participate in class. By night, I have been an actor, yelling and prancing around a stage at rehearsal.
The long-awaited Skeleta has arrived. Lucky fans in participating cities rejoiced when sales began at midnight in their favorite satanized record haunts. Others spent hours intently staring at Spotify countdowns – and some, meanwhile, will only stumble across it in their “New Releases” playlists next week. However it reaches the faithful, Ghost’s latest offers more than any other entry in their discography; teased as the collective’s most personal album to date, Skeleta doesn’t shy away from its own richly imagined inner world. Still, it opens with a graceful bow to IMPERA – the band’s last record, which narrated the fall of an empire – through “Peacefields,” where a ‘slaughtered czar’ and the ‘end of a monarchy’ appear briefly: not as the message, but as its backdrop. This is the last a listener will hear of royal intrigues before departing the land of past releases to accompany Ghost on their most ambitious endeavor yet.
Walking into the dim interior of Barnes Hall auditorium on a rainy Friday evening felt almost like stepping into a sacred place. The vaulted arches overhead, reddish-brown brick walls and soft purple curtains framing the stage created an atmosphere of quiet reverence. The pre-performance blue light spilling from the music stands bathed the instruments — harpsichords, clavichords, clavinets and synthesizers — in an otherworldly glow. As I looked around, I noticed people of all ages sitting and talking excitedly about what was to come. Mosaic windows surrounded the room, their colorful patterns enhancing the ethereal atmosphere of the space. As I found my seat, I felt a similar buzz of anticipation building inside me.

The more people I meet at this school, the more awed I am by the dedication and passion that overflows in each and every one. All that zeal is embodied in Liv Licursi ’25, director, producer and performer extraordinaire. It’s difficult to decide where to begin discussing her achievements — Licursi really can and does do everything. She’s a whirlwind of a person, bubbling over with conviction that shines through in all of her projects. On April 14, I was lucky enough to snag an hour of her busy life to talk about her work.
