  If you’re anything like me, a long day of studying is always alleviated by going to 5cdining.com and choosing a dining hall to eat in. With choices like Taco Tuesday, Mongolian Wok, and A.M in the P.M, this can be quite the ordeal, and is only exacerbated if you’re going to eat with a […]

  About a month ago I came to a realization: I had no pants. Other than a pair of plaid skinny jeans I’d begged my mother to get me in 11th grade, none of my pants fit. I’d just been wearing my girlfriend’s jeans on the days when I didn’t drape my legs in plaid. […]

I recently came across “Enigma,” a spoken word piece by Dave Anders-Richards that has been getting widespread praise from the community because it protests the sexual objectification of women. Although his thoughts are not the most profound, I agree with his general message until about two minutes in, when he addresses his male peers by […]

  On July 16th, 2013, Whose Line Is It Anyway? came back to television to the excitement of viewers everywhere. The show had been off air since 2007, so its return was a noteworthy event. I sat in anticipation, one of 2.92 million viewers, as the new host welcomed the audience to Whose Line Is […]

I was attempting to explain the importance of visibility during one of our blog’s staff meetings last week, when one of our snarkier (and much-loved) bloggers pointedly reminded me that our magazine was, after all, entitled [in]Visible. I laughed it off after a rather pregnant pause; however, it reminded me that despite working with [in]Visible […]

Below are some reflections on my time at Scripps College: a list of grievances that I would like the Scripps community to be mindful of, a list of wonderful related experiences I’ve had at this college to show my gratitude for my four years here, and a list of dreams and ways to resolve issues […]

  “I’m not saying she’s ‘asking for it,’ but as a woman it seems like pretty common knowledge that wearing a tight, short dress and drinking 2 bottles of wine along with whatever else is pictured in the poster is a bad idea (…) if the girl is too out of it to say no, […]

My Intro to Gender and Women’s Studies class began with a simple phrase: “The personal is political.”  The class—a typical mix of students from different colleges and different grades—discussed how our daily lives can reflect our political beliefs, from the clothes we wear to the shows we watch to the clubs we choose to participate […]

It’s been a couple months since the start of the school year, but I haven’t yet forgotten the neon-bright pink backpacks sported by New Student Program leaders during Orientation (that lovely period of high-stress, transition and deluge of information for first-years). I don’t doubt the pink backpacks had utilitarian purpose. They probably helped peer mentors […]

My first journal was a planner. It was pink and squishy, filled with riddles and crossword puzzles between days. I’d write down my homework – Read one chapter of the Island of the Blue Dolphins – then underneath it, write two lines on what I did that day. They were simple, bare bones accounts. “Today, […]
