Nassau Street and the surrounding commercial district have its fair share of pizza options: Proof, Teresa’s, Nomad, Pizza Den — the list goes on. This semester, Jules Thin Crust, located on Witherspoon Street, was added to the University’s list of approved off-campus locations where Dining Points are accepted. This means that students now have the ability to use their $150 in Dining Points at the small, Pennsylvania-based chain specializing in flatbread pizzas and specialty toppings. But at $10+ for a small pizza that is a little over one square foot in size, is it worth it? To determine the answer to this, I decided to have a tasting of their menu last week.

Last week, if I was given the choice between attending a stand-up comedy show versus an improv show, I would have picked the stand-up. Having never been to an improv show prior to seeing Child's Play, I've relied upon the stereotypes I've heard about this type of comedy — that it tries too hard to be funny and instead loses all humor entirely. I had this stereotype in mind while considering my weekend plans, but the improv group Child’s Play exceeded my expectations to deliver a hilarious and humorous experience.

The opening chords of the “Little Einsteins” theme song boomed through Richardson Auditorium’s speakers, raising laughs from the audience as Naacho Dance Company’s new members flooded the stage wearing sparkling red and black outfits. From classical Bollywood to Doja Cat, Princeton’s premiere South Asian dance group Naacho presented a sweeping range of South Asian-based dance and musical styles in their show this past weekend, “Shastra: The Rise of Chaos.”

Theatre Intime’s new show “Yaga,” first written and produced by artistic director Richard Rose of the Tarragon Theater in 2019 and now directed by Kat McLauglin ’25, is a humorous and riveting retelling of the classic Slavic folklore of Baba Yaga. The production asks the audience to reconsider the stories and humanity behind the characters we take for granted.

Growing up, I quickly realized that the humanities are not as respected as their STEM counterparts in many spaces. For years, I told people that I wanted to be a doctor because I knew that it was a socially acceptable answer. I wouldn’t have to deal with someone interrogating me about job security or what I actually plan to do. Being a doctor was a safe, stable path. After applying to Princeton, I realized that I wasn’t passionate enough to dedicate the next decade of my life to studying medicine to become a doctor. I decided that, instead of studying neuroscience like I had originally planned, I was going to study English.

“Do you have an iPhone? The idea behind the question marks was when you haven’t updated your phone, and the emojis won’t show up,” Petr Karpov ’24 said as I sat on the human-sized scanner’s glass pane, waiting to be scanned. I watched as a normal-sized scanner roved underneath the glass. The smaller scanner systematically makes its way across the whole pane, and a computer program then puts these small scans together to piece together one large image of whatever is sitting on the glass—in this case, me.

Course enrollment is always a stressful process at Princeton. Early in the morning, students pry open their eyes to enroll in courses through Tigerhub. Those interested in Visual Arts (VIS) classes may face particular difficulties enrolling, as the classes fill rapidly. Why are VIS classes so difficult to get into? Ahead of Fall 2024 course enrollment, Professor Jeff Whetstone, the head director of Princeton’s Visual Art Department, might have some answers.

There’s only one place on Princeton’s campus where you can create a realistic, full scale representation of Stitch from the Disney movie ‘Lilo & Stitch.’ Or, perhaps you’re more interested in spinning up a mug decorated with sculpted mushrooms, an artistic model of a face, or a homemade gift for a friend. Whatever your creative desires may be, the New College West Ceramics Studio — located across from the Addy Hall Coffee Club — can serve as an outlet.

Jeffrey Wright, star of the 2024 Academy Award-winning film, “American Fiction,” doesn’t think we Princeton students will take his advice. After all, as he said, we’re young. The celebrated actor is the father of two college-aged kids — he knows how stubborn young adults can be. However, it would be a mistake to not consider his words deeply. This is a man who has an impressive filmography: one that ranges from “Angels in America” to “The Hunger Games,” “James Bond” to “Westworld.” He has worked with the likes of legends such as Mike Nichols, Wes Anderson, M. Night Shyamalan, Sam Mendes, and Spike Lee; he was also cast in Lee’s remake of the Akira Kurosawa classic “High and Low” alongside Denzel Washington.

From March 21 to 23, eXpressions Dance Company presented their show “Continuum” in Frist Theater. “Continuum” tells the story of growing up while navigating heartache, new experiences, and homesickness. To quote the event’s program, “Continuum” is “a story told through movement, where every step echoes the one before, and every leap propels [the story] forward.” It was a beautifully-told story, indeed.

The brand-new action comedy “Drive-Away Dolls” opened at the Princeton Garden Theatre on Friday, March 22 as part of the USG Movie Committee’s ongoing early release series. Based on my observations, the film had a notably lower attendance rate than past USG-sponsored movies, potentially because of ongoing midterms or the film’s mixed early reviews.

I have scattered memories of dancing as a child. My twin sister and I would imitate Candace and Vanessa in “Busted” from Phineas and Ferb as the segment from the TV show played behind us. I recall stealing the dance floor at a family function, freely moving to will.i.am’s “#thatPOWER” with my cousins cheering me on. I still remember stomping my feet to the futuristic, echoey beat. And I ingrained the choreography of “We’re All In This Together” from High School Musical at a house party — well, the Just Dance version, at least.

At 12:30 p.m. on Feb. 29, I walked through the tall glass doors of Addy Hall to the New College West Coffee Club. It was one of those frigid, blustery East Coast days, the kind that chills the tips of noses and ears and turns students into hunched, shuffling puffer-jacket soldiers. The trek to New College West alone turned my hair into a tangled mess, stealing breath from my lungs as I pulled my thin Whitman jacket close. But I would not be deterred. I was on a mission for a free London Fog.

The Princeton University Orchestra (PUO), the African Music Ensemble, and the Dafra Kura band presented the world premiere of “Be Kūnū” during the PUO’s “Concerto Concert” in Richardson Auditorium on Mar. 1 and 2. Three soloists — Wesley Sanders ’26, Kaivalya Kulkarni ’26, and Daniel Lee ’27 each had impressive performances during the first half of the concert. Sanders played Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Tuba Concerto, while Kulkarni played Robert Schumann’s Cello Concerto in A minor. After a short intermission, Lee performed Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto.

There are Firestone loyalists who, year-round, prefer the six-level behemoth that serves as the University library system’s headquarters. However, when exam season comes, hordes of Princetonians overtake the stacks. Everyone wants to “lock-in” on their work, and popular study spaces may often be occupied by the time you arrive. Luckily, campus is full of other places where you can get your work done without having to battle over the last cubicle. Here are five spots where you can finish those midterm papers and p-sets.

With midterms, papers, problem sets, and a full week of classes, it can be easy to get lost in the chaos and forget to take a break. But this is the exact time we should be taking breaks — we need to rest and recover between assignments and celebrate our continued work!

I’ve always wondered, is it a blessing or a curse to experience first love, only to be ripped apart by circumstance? This question has inspired the plots of many films before, still, “Past Lives” could not have provided a better, fresher depiction of this heart-breaking question.

Sinfonia’s third concert of the year and first concert of the semester was held in Richardson Auditorium on Feb. 23. The performance was called “A Night at the Opera," alluding to the style of many of the pieces played that evening.

Feb. 22nd, 2024 marked the early screening of buzzworthy A24 film “Problemista” for students at the Garden Theatre. The film was shown as part of the USG Movies Committee’s ongoing advance screening series, which allows Princeton students to see up-and-coming indie films for free. The film opened to a packed house of students and the committee provided free popcorn and refreshments.
