When high school students envision Penn, they don’t often think of the arts as being an integral force on campus. The preprofessional track, the competitive environment, and the strong engineering and Wharton schools likely take precedence in their minds. However, the legacy of Peter LaBerge (C '17), founder of The Adroit Journal, continues to grow as more high school students apply to Penn through his influence as a graduate of Penn’s renowned English program.

If you’ve ever tried weaning off of social media, you know it’s much easier said than done. From connecting us with friends and the latest trends, to becoming an on–demand news source, social media has begun to consume more of our lives than we know.

It's only when attempts are made to distance ourselves from these platforms that we realize the hook their algorithms have already had on us.

When you think of a celebrity chef, maybe you think of Gordon Ramsey, Jamie Oliver, or Wolfgang Puck. The culinary industry has historically been and continues to be male–dominated. Women have recently began garnering followings through platforms like YouTube and TikTok.

The U.S. has had its fair share of popular protest music, like Childish Gambino's “This is America” and Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright,” but songs have always played a key role in social movements across the world by inspiring people to mobilize. As an art form, music has the ability to not only serve as entertainment, but also to build a sense of community through chants, and as rallying calls in protests and demonstrations. Specifically in Iran, music has fueled protests during the recent uprisings as songs refer to the oppressive conditions under the current regime.

Hot girl summer came early thanks to Miss Kali Uchis. Her third studio album—Red Moon in Venus, released on March 3—is classically her: sultry and airy vocals, stocked with the most relevant features in the industry, such as Omar Apollo, Summer Walker, and her boyfriend Don Toliver. Isolation traditionalists fear not—Red Moon in Venus takes after her revolutionary debut album. She doesn’t shy away from her highly feminine and spiritually sexy powers, which has effectively altered her listeners, colloquially called Kuchis. Multiple TikTok users claim they have glowed up after listening to Uchis, called “the Kali Uchis effect,” with proof to support it.

The latest addition to the “Good for Her'' cinematic universe comes from an unlikely source. Alongside Midsommar’s Dani and Knives Out’s Marta, Cocaine Bear stands tall against the people trying to take her down. Now, the female protagonist is getting exactly what she wants: an insane amount of cocaine. Directed by Elizabeth Banks, the comedic thriller lives up to the genre by following the misadventures of the titular cocaine bear’s interactions with (and often slaughterings of) an assortment of characters. The film leans into the absurdity of the concept and remains self–aware throughout the entirety of its 95–minute run time.

“Really? You’re going to raise your kids in the city?” is the question many local parents are asked when they tell their friends and family they are raising their kids in Philadelphia. Without a doubt, education is one of the biggest factors middle and upper class parents consider when deciding where to settle down.

At this year’s Oscars, the hit movie Everything Everywhere All at Once absolutely swept the house with seven total wins. Perhaps one of the most important moments was Michelle Yeoh being awarded the “Best Actress” title, becoming the first Asian woman to win this award after her well–rounded performance. As with any powerhouse win, this received both admiration and admonition by critics. Yet, above all criticism, one truth prevails: This movie gave a voice to experiences of deep rooted generational trauma and healing in a way that left viewers laughing, crying, and experiencing everything in between. Everything Everywhere All at Once is a new, stunning example of absurdist comedy as a dynamic and versatile genre.

Even in its own country of origin, Brazilian Funk is an export product that Brazil’s own citizens have not yet learned to value.
