As the weather gets colder and I’m rolling out my sweaters, I’m beginning to transition from the new artists I discovered in the summer back into last year’s music. Personally, I find that these songs serve as a calming break from the chaos of our current social and political climate. If I could classify them in one way it would be as the comforting feeling I get when I’m warm inside on a rainy day. I hope that in one way or another, they can convey the same comfort to you. The playlist can be found here.

Your name is Andromeda
which is supposed to mean beautiful. I am not sure because I learned this from a girl Why I’m selling the house? I’ll tell you why. It’s a bad place—it’s a malicious thing, the house. You knew Amy, didn’t you? A lovely, hardy woman. She had only once in her life gotten sick. Before we moved in, that was.
James Madison
Personal opinion based ranking (1 meaning burn the man, 5 being complete indifference, 10 being still awful but could be a lot worse): 5. I don’t particularly like Madison, and I honestly couldn’t be bothered with him. He was historically uninteresting and the things that are somewhat interesting aren’t generally good. He viewed other races as lesser and therefore was one of the reasons white people were the only ones given rights in the original constitution. I don’t know about you, but that’s a deal breaker for me, . He was close friends with Thomas Jefferson too, so that doesn’t help his case. Inadvertently, the disaster-prone 2020 is more than halfway over. The 2020 US presidential election is imminent. With the advent of autumn, let’s take a comprehensive look at what kind of state we’re in and the respective advantages that lie in the campaigns between Trump and Biden
It was probably around month two (May) of quarantine when I realized I was pissed at the world. I mean, I was stuck at home, almost done with school, without prospects of a summer job, and I hadn’t even been able to club on my eighteenth birthday. My internal frustration led to a cycle of egocentric bitterness; I was beginning to believe COVID was out there to specifically ruin my life.
If this is your first year at Simon’s Rock, you may be wondering what to expect when it comes to midterms. Maybe you’ve heard horror stories from older siblings or friends, or maybe you’re not worried at all. Either way, here are some things I wish I’d been told before my first round of midterms.
Many students here at Simon’s Rock are currently undergoing the crisis that is being distastefully and disrespectfully ignored by the administration. Every morning when students wake up, during meals, between classes… it is always there. This problem is deteriorating morale on campus at an alarming rate, yet nothing is being done about it! I am of course referring to the mysterious dilemma of Instagram’s functioning (or lack thereof) under Eduroam.

4. I know it feels repetitive, but hear me out. I consider Thomas Jefferson to be on the same level as John Adams. I have heard a lot of positive things about him—people tend to admire him for being an academic and a renaissance man—but he was also historically racist and just an all around asshole. He was the other side of the rivalry that I mentioned in the last article; he and John Adams hated each other. Granted, his side of the rivalry was a lot less interesting as Adams refused to go to Jefferson’s inauguration and his dying words were used to scorn him, but still. I almost placed him at a 3, because not only is he an asshole, he isn’t even as interesting as some of the other assholes that have run this country, but I figured that would be a petty thing to put him down for. Disclaimer: It has come to my attention that not everyone who reads this enchanting article will realize that you should not, in fact, eat wild unidentified mushrooms. You shouldn’t really even touch them if you don’t know what they are. I mean, I can’t really stop you, but at least now that I’ve written this mandatory disclaimer I can say I tried.
