Students support local businesses with new platform Zage

After hearing about the struggles faced by a number of these restaurants after students left campus in mid-March, Dilbagi created Zage, an online platform that allows community members to send money to local businesses now to redeem as credits on their purchases in the future. 

This fall, go beyond the 'Bubble'

Even though classes are picking up, weekends are the perfect time for students to escape the Orange Bubble. While going out to eat on Nassau is enjoyable, there is so much to see beyond Princeton. For those looking for a day trip or a chance to explore the area outside of Princeton, here is a list of ideas to do this fall.

Abolish sign-in clubs

In order to prepare students for the harsh, demanding social climbing that they will need to do to reach the pinnacle of their money-grubbing careers and donate vast sums to the University, it is essential that they experience isolating social behavior at an early stage. 

A Trip Down Princetoween Pasts

And for you studious freshmen who find yourselves staring at your closet the night before, Miao offers some sound advice: “If you happen to be in a time crunch, I would first resort to Amazon Prime. They now sell all your basic and most out-there costume necessities.”

Ask Auntie J: Being the hookup

What do you do when the person you’re hooking up with tells you he wants to date your best friend? 

Name, major, fun fact

The introductions trickle around the circle: the kid who’s already taken every class the professor has ever taught, the lone engineer, the person whose most thrilling fun fact is that they … own a cat. It’s the first day of your newest seminar, and it’s time for your first oral presentation. The topic? Yourself.

Introduction to rejection

If you’re a freshman reading this, my first (and only?) piece of advice is to not destroy yourself in the process of seeking validation, social or otherwise. 

Off the Pine Barrens we go

My school year began with wandering off to the middle of the woods, leaving behind all electronic connection, and taking a group of nine first-years with me. We were heading into the Pine Barrens in New Jersey, a place known for its dense and sandy woods. Princeton’s Outdoor Action program takes about 650 first years to explore the outdoors, and every trip experiences something a little different. But my trip wasn’t just a little different, it was a whole ’nother ride. And I guess that’s what college is all about: doing the unexpected and meeting new people during the process.

Summer Reading in 2018

Nothing makes a new year first feel real quite like a trip from Labyrinth, feeling the weight of the semester’s responsibilities literally settle on my shoulders.

MY Room or OUR Room

So, let’s dive in with the first question of this great new year! ‘What should I do if my boyfriend refers to my room as our room?’

The stickers on our laptops

Putting stickers on our laptops shows how we perform a balancing act between embracing our personal identities and embracing the impersonal world that exists behind our screens, on the internet.

Rise and Grind

“How was your summer” rings through the hallways and dining halls followed by brief responses except for the occasional more meaningful conversation with a close friend that turns into a longer catch-up…. 

Without translation

I’m convinced that this fixation on photos and words stems from my love of revision. To revise is to prettify. For photos, there exist filters; for narratives, lovely words. Still, there were some things I was either unable or unwilling to varnish.

Auntie J: Meaningful relationships

Hello sweeties! Auntie J back with a bang for your Week Ten dose of love. And, with finals just around the corner, this week’s question keeps it short and sweet; How do you make meaningful relationships (whether platonic or romantic) while at Princeton?

Sexpert: Hygienically Concerned

Dear Sexpert, I have recently noticed a lot of advertisements on TV for feminine hygiene washes, and am seeing them more in drug stores and even in the U-Store. Do I have to use one of these washes, and are they even safe to use? — Hygienically Concerned

“The Incorruptible Body” senior thesis review

“The Incorruptible Body,” a senior thesis exhibition by Angélica María Vielma ’18, is currently on view in the Hurley Gallery at the new Lewis Center for the Arts through Saturday, April 14.  The exhibition centers on photographic processes and representations of the self within a framework of Catholic iconography, as well as of Vielma’s own identity as the daughter of practicing clowns.

Sexpert: Fresh-tasting Fluid

Dear Sexpert, I’ve always heard rumors that eating pineapple would make my vagina taste better, but is that actually true? Are there other foods that do the same? Sincerely, Fresh-tasting Fluid?
