This time last year, I sat down with Culture Editor Stella Powers and proclaimed that I wanted to rank my favorite redheads in the media, in honor of the beloved holiday that was quickly approaching: Green Beer Day.At the time, I only intended to write one.

It’s the time of year again, when four-leaf clovers, leprechauns and green beverages fill the streets of Oxford. However, for underclassmen and those who don’t drink, it’s easy to feel removed from the celebrations of Green Beer Day. Here are some movies and shows to watch to get in the Green Beer Day and St. Patrick’s Day spirit without actually consuming green beer.

Over March 4–7, incoming Editor-in-Chief Shannon Mahoney, Social Media Editor Kiser Young and I traveled to New York City for the spring College Media Association Convention. While the main purpose of this trip was to learn more about running a newspaper and how we can improve, I would be lying if I said I hadn’t planned to spend most of my time exploring the city. One of the adventures we unanimously agreed on was to see a show, because how could you go to New York and not?

Where Jimmy John’s once stood now sits a Mediterranean and Greek-style restaurant: Tavo Mediterranean Grill. Inside, the interior remains the same; The floors are still checkered, the booths are still linear and the food-making assembly line is still present. But the small restaurant on East High Street, located next to Starbucks, went from a multinational sandwich chain to a unique Oxford Mediterranean grill.
“Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally” is the perfect name for Harry Styles’ fourth studio album. The album consists mainly of sentimental and reflective songs, like “Taste Back,” making up the “Kiss” part of the album. The “Disco, Occasionally” represents the smaller number of songs in the album that just make you want to dance like no one’s watching. Fans have been waiting nearly four years for this album.

College students’ fashion today consists of hoodies, leggings, thrifted pieces and Shein packages. If you look back 200 years, fashion for young people in the 1820s consisted of tailored, mended and long-lasting clothes.

Yet to understand the media, it isn’t necessary to recount its entire history. At its core, media reflects a persistent human impulse: the need to create, to record and to communicate.
