The Christmas season is upon us. I'm generally more Grinch than Cindy Lou Who in my day-to-day life but there is something about Christmas. The entire city is hung with Christmas lights, seemingly overnight. Christmas tree lots appear on every street corner and briefly mask the city's usual garbage scent. Yes, the massive influx of tourist is frustrating, but I generally stay away...

2016 has pretty much been an unmitigated disaster. We've endured mass shootings, growing racial tension, attempted military coups, the death of musical legends, Brexit, and the potential of a Trump presidency. Not even an amazing, surprise Beyonce album could redeem 2016. 2016 has been pretty terrible personally as well. While it hasn't reached the levels of death and destruction seen on a global...
When we talk about millennials both we (millennials) and older generations frame the conversation with "firsts" and "onlys." We were the first generation to grow up with the internet and the first to grow up in the wake of a terrorist attack on American soil. No generation has been as progressive and revolutionary.

I recently watched the second season of You're the Worst in anticipation of the new season, which came out yesterday, August 31st. The show's premise is not unlike Hulu's Difficult People or other FX(X?) shows Always Sunny in Philadelphia and The League. You're the Worst features four terrible, self destructive friends as they get into trouble around Los Angeles. And, while hilarious and charming, the first season of the...
This article contains spoilers for the Harry Potter series and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Additionally, I understand that as a play and therefore a new medium for the story, the stage production could provide a different prospective on the story. However, since most of us haven't had the opportunity to see the play, I'm examining the play as a written work....
Who are your favorite television characters? Buffy or Daenerys? Walter or Omar? Those badass characters are admittedly admirable but I prefer a different type of character. My favorite television characters are a little more relatable, representing those of us currently, well, failing at life. They're lazy, they're messy, they're sarcastic. And, above all and at all cost, these characters resist the responsibilities of...
In the job application process, recent college graduates are considered especially unemployable. In New York City, the dedicated 20-somethings who investigate these job listings are members of a depressed #squad known as the Trash Babies. These are their stories. DUN DUN ...
I love cats. Always have. But I'm not responsible enough for a cat so I downloaded an app. For one, I don't have anywhere the cat could live. Right now I go back and forth between my childhood bedroom in a suburban area of Los Angeles County and the NYC apartment shared by my boyfriend and his roommate. I constantly worry that I'm...
