We’re nearing the end of spring semester, and whether you’re mourning the loss of your senior friends or breaking down about an impossible final, the tears are imminent. In honor of what can be a stressful time, here are some books that are sure to hit you right in the feels.
Last semester, two of my friends and I decided we were going to eat at and review every restaurant in Oxford. Far-fetched? Maybe. Harmful to our wallets? Definitely. But it’s something to do, and sometimes that’s all you can ask for.Though we haven’t yet completed our challenge, my friends and I have found several hidden gems. So, the next time you’re thinking about hitting up Skipper’s or Bagel and Deli for the 1,000th time, consider one of these four places instead.
As a self-proclaimed shopaholic, I have a lot of clothes. I can thank countless hours spent at Goodwill for that. Unfortunately, my eccentric style doesn’t always translate well to the professional world.So, for the past few weeks, I’ve taken on the task that many have before me: purging my closet of all of my “inappropriate” clothes.Like a lot of other girls, I often put on a silly little outfit to go out on the town, but these short skirts and spaghetti straps won’t cut it in the office. However, I’m attached to my clothes and determined to make the best of the situation.So, what’s my game plan?
For those looking for a tropical escape from the gloomy Midwest weather, look no further than Mike White’s “The White Lotus.”Season three of the hit Max series just concluded and was filled with drama. Each season follows a different group of vacationers at a different “White Lotus” resort: season one took place in Hawaii, season two took place in Italy and season three took place in Thailand.
As I walked into the cinema this past Thursday to watch Pedro Pascal’s latest film, “Freaky Tales,” I realized that I had no idea what the movie was even about. I read online that it was an action/comedy with the star of “The Last of Us” as one of the film’s leads. What more do you really need to know?Evidently, a bit more than that, because the first 10-15 minutes left me very confused.
The Ides of March came for the world of punk and punk rock in the late ’80s, but with the fertilization of the new millennium and the freckles of spring showers, Amy Taylor has sprouted as April’s IT Girl!
As we head into the second half of spring semester, I’m filled with the urge to procrastinate on all my work and take some time to read a book for fun instead. Here I’ve compiled a list of some of my favorite books for you to read when you really should be working on your final essays.
TikTok has a way of reinventing ideas as the “new” trend, bringing longtime practices to light, and junk journaling is no exception. I discovered the concept of junk journaling two months ago when I looked up ‘journal’ on TikTok. I expected ASMR videos of writing journal entries to pop up, but I found creators sharing the content of the pictures, drawings, stickers, wrapping paper and more in ‘junk journals.’ I love scrapbooking, so what struck me about this practice?
OxVegas Chicken may seem, at a glance, to be just another chicken place. But, at its core, it’s a model of Miami University graduate success. Located at 48 E. Park Place Ave., the business was opened by Miami graduates on Jan. 20, 2024.
From a very young age, I dreamed of being a Disney princess. Ballgowns and princess dresses flooded my costume chests, and the Disney version of Pretty Pretty Princess was by far my favorite game. Disney princess DVDs lined my shelves and the Disney FastPlay advertisement constantly replayed in my head. Princesses were my favorite. When I heard they were making a live-action “Snow White” film, I was skeptical. Excited, but skeptical nonetheless. When Rachel Zegler was announced as the star, my excitement grew.
It’s women’s history month, and through working on this piece, it has come to my attention just how few films are actually directed by women — it’s upsetting. I was barely able to come up with a top 10 list. If I were asked to come up with more films, I’m not sure I would be able to. So many films, including some of my favorite films about women, are directed by men. However, in honor of women’s history month, I decided to highlight some of my favorites.
As a horror enthusiast, there aren’t many horror films that genuinely get to me anymore. A24’s “Opus,” released on March 14, is an exception.
When you think of St. Patrick’s Day, what pops into your head? It may be leprechauns, beer, Irish dancing, more beer or wearing lots of green. However, when I think of this blessed day, I think of the color ginger – or anyone who considers themselves a redhead, to be exact.

This is my last playlist as culture editor. Don’t worry, my devoted handful of readers, I’m not going to leave you high and dry. The playlists will continue, but not from the culture editor. Think of it more as a grandmother of The Miami Student dropping in and telling you what she’s listening to. Now that I’ve prepared you for what’s to come, I’ve got a bit of a doozy this week. Lately, I’ve been listening to music that is embarrassing, to say the least. I’m going to be very vulnerable with you here, so please be nice to me.
A few weeks ago, everyone started talking about Calendula, the newest restaurant in Uptown Oxford. Being new to campus, I had friends telling me this was a huge deal. After a busy week of events, I headed to Calendula on a Friday evening and was met with an hour to an hour-and-a-half wait. It seemed the rest of Oxford was as excited to try the newest restaurant in town as I was. Unfortunately, I was too hungry to wait and went elsewhere for dinner.

Around three years ago, I committed to Miami University as an education major. I had attended Make it Miami, surrounded by lines of chattering high school students — red lanyards with name-tags hung about their necks, accompanied by anxious parents asking countless questions. It didn’t occur to me at the time that I would want to change my major before I had even gone to my first class.
About a year ago, Miami University senior Rebecca Burnham, bought a new pet hedgehog on a whim. Her friends were interested in getting hedgehogs and Burnham wanted one, too. So one night they found an ad on Craigslist for newborn hedgehogs, still pink and only an inch long, and they contacted the seller to see the tiny pets.
