The Stute

What should I do if I’m alone on Valentine’s Day?

Claire:

It can suck to be single on a day dedicated to romance. While the day itself isn’t that special, media and advertising ramp up to remind everyone of the season.

Edward Hopper’s women

My recent visit to the Whitney Museum of American Art included a tour of the Edward Hopper exhibition, a showing of a painter whom we might be faintly familiar with, but who has truly shaped the landscape of American art in irrefutable ways.

The Stute through an artistic lens

A few weeks ago, I, along with my most artistically talented friend, paid a visit to the Whitney Museum of American Art (which by the way, has Pay-What-You-Wish admission on Friday nights!).

Carnegie Laboratory of Engineering: the gift of a Trustee

My favorite college investment

Before I had actually given it some real thought, I thought that buying an iPad would mean spilling, like, $1,000 on a glorified Kindle.

Individuality

My high school friend came to visit this weekend with her two college friends. As we battled through the stinging Hoboken winds and settled in the heavenly warmth of a Thai restaurant, we somehow entered a conversation about “NPCs.”

As I study in the library, my favorite brain break is browsing the shelves on the second floor to see if anything jumps out at me while I take a stretch.

Who needs a fridge?

A local student announced that after last week’s weather, he was selling his Philco C-887 refrigerator and freezer and just keeping any perishable food out on the counter due to the temperature in his apartment. 

Self-justifying hard work with breaks

This weekend, I ended up doing very little substantive work on class assignments or other tasks I had on my to-do list.

M3GAN

When I first saw the trailer for M3GAN, I thought it looked awful. The effects looked dodgy, the acting was unenthusiastic, and the jokes, if you can even call them that, were downright cringeworthy.
