Throughout my years, I’ve had the opportunity to live, and other times, I’ve had the task to survive. I was reminded of this while traveling home for the holidays. Scrolling through Twitter while waiting in an airport terminal, I stumbled across a short essay by Jonny Sun that reminded me of this distinction. The former allows — encourages — flourishing, while the latter necessitates endurance, at the cost of pretty much everything else.

It’s reading period. You already know what that means: stress-induced tears, both internal and external, late night cramming, and a whole lot of — you guessed it — reading. With all the work that has to be done this week, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Whether it’s because you need an epic soundtrack to help you focus or simply because you’re sick of Lofi Girl, I’ve got you covered! Here are a few of my favorite classical bangers to help you get by until winter break.

It’s morning in Princeton. Students that live in dorms are probably familiar with the sound of a phone alarm from a nearby room. It could be a quiet chirp, or a blaring horn, laden with urgency. When night falls, one might come back to their dorm and see someone working on an assignment or a group returning from an event. By this time, some students may have already gone to bed; others may have decided not to sleep at all.

Adele has always had such a big place in music, in pop culture, and thus in all of our childhoods; I’m sure that many of today’s teens are all too familiar with the memories of screaming the lyrics to “Set Fire to the Rain” in the car home from middle school. I definitely was one of those kids. Even as a child who barely understood music, I always loved hearing Adele’s powerful, harrowing voice on the radio — whenever she released new music, just like magic, it almost instantly became a hit.

True to its name, eXpressions Dance Company’s fall show was indeed notorious. Inspired by the themes of excitement, charm, and drama in Alfred Hitchcock’s “Notorious” (1946), the show’s dynamic presentation of movement in tandem with the authentic artistry of the dancers enabled the audience to appreciate the thoughtful narratives in the choreography.

I recently realized that come Dean’s Date, I’ll be exactly three months away from turning 22, and this provoked a mini existential crisis along the same lines of a question I’ve been asking myself all semester long: What do I want to do with the time I have left?

When I first discovered Wilbur Soot, the frontman of up-and-coming indie-rock band Lovejoy, it certainly wasn’t through music — actually, this multi-talented master of the Internet gained his first million subscribers as an English Minecraft YouTuber and Twitch streamer. Since Soot’s rise to fame, Minecraft has exploded, and his channel with it, granting him the platform to successfully branch out to other endeavors like music. Soot’s most recent solo single, “Your New Boyfriend,” was a hit, going viral on TikTok and boasting over sixty million YouTube views.

When I went home for Thanksgiving break, I realized that it had been three months since I’d driven a car. It’s not only that I don’t need to drive at Princeton (I hardly leave campus, and when I do, there’s a bus or train), it’s that I can’t — my car is back in New Mexico. As a result, I spend much more time than I ever have walking.

Raising enough money to plant 20 million trees in a few months would have been enough for most ordinary YouTubers. But YouTube star MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson) and his frequent collaborator, Mark Rober, are by no means ordinary.

Incredibly underrated and wonderfully talented, Finneas O’Connell (known by his stage name FINNEAS) first got his fame as the brother and producer of globally-recognized superstar Billie Eilish. His first step into a spotlight of his own was through his debut EP “Blood Harmony,” containing hits with hundreds of millions of Spotify plays, like “Break My Heart Again” and “I Don’t Miss You At All.”

Before she had even said a word, I knew that something was wrong. I could sense it in the hitch in her breath as she tried to quiet her crying. “Hello, this is Sim calling for our weekly conversation. How are you doing?”

If the idea of sitting down in a cozy café, sipping on a warm cup of flavorful tea while gently turning the pages of a new book sounds like your ideal day, rejoice! A new tea place and apothecary, Tipple & Rose Tea Parlor, has recently opened up at 210 Nassau Street after relocating from Atlanta, Georgia. They currently sell candles, tea, blankets, and body care products, and they will soon be serving tea, bakery, and bistro items.

Nine dead. 25 hospitalized. And yet the show went on.

I felt something was off this term when I started picking my courses, and it took a while for me to understand what it was. Finally, it hit me. For the first time since I graduated preschool, I won’t be enrolled in a math class come spring. As I finish ORF 309: Probability and Stochastic Systems, the last math class I might take on the normal progression, it feels like I’m closing a book I’ve been reading my whole life, having to be content that it’s a story I’m never going to finish.

When the COVID-19 pandemic blew Broadway’s curtains closed in March 2020, artists and audiences hoped the intermission would be counted in days and weeks as a quarantine of months washed over them. Producers and consumers alike had to pivot abruptly: performers had to find alternate forms of employment and audiences had to find alternate forms of entertainment. A trap door opened beneath show business, with no script or choreography available to help it stick a landing.

At 14 years old, you are not the best at most things. You are in middle school; you are learning about algebra and ancient civilizations, puberty, and prose. Maybe you are trying out for the soccer team or band. Whatever you choose to pursue, the assumption is that you will be pretty average. For Dev Jaiswal ’23, though, (and the other 11 million students who compete in school sponsored spelling bees each year) 14 years old was pretty much the sweet spot: middle school, for the serious, marks the peak of their spelling abilities. And, for the particularly serious, their introduction to a national media environment that has made spelling bees a cultural phenomenon.
