With the new season of One Day at a Time coming out last Friday, I had the wonderful opportunity to talk to Todd Grinnell about himself and the show. What’s a quote that you live by? Always follow the fun. If you could go back to yourself 10 years ago, what would you say? Relax,
Since the start of 2018, many women have been bringing to light issues that they face, such as harassment, discrimination and abuse.

More than 200 days. Almost eight months. And they would finally see each other again, this time, more than friends. Dean didn’t know how it would unfold. He’d said in his letters that they would go out on a date, but they couldn’t. Not in Briston. Not in public. Not unless they wanted to be
A few days before 2017 ended, Bono, the lead singer for the band U2 was on the cover of and gave an interview to Rolling Stones Magazine in which he said, and I quote (because I literally cannot make this stuff up), “I think music has gotten very girly”. He did say that “there are
Nina’s car horn woke me from my slumber. I slid open my window to find my friends motioning for me to come on already. I’d fallen asleep, and now I’m late. The clock reads a little past 10pm. “Shit, shit, shit, shit.” I dart around my room, thrusting my hand into the pile of clothes. My
Yesterday (January 4th), a surprise track featuring both Kendrick Lamar and SZA of Top Dawg Entertainment was released entitled, “All the Stars”. Both artists have had remarkably good years with Kendrick dropping his most mainstream release and SZA releasing her debut studio album.

Black Mirror was a highly anticipated Netflix Original Series that recently came out with a fourth season. Each episode is an individual story that follows the downfall of increasing technology mixed with human nature.
