Why The Millennials are Amazing: A Response to Joel Stein’s “The Me Me Me Generation” By Lindsey Bartlett My generation gets a lot of grief. We sit idly by as people argue semantics about our laziness, narcissus, and jaded lives, while being rarely in a position to fight back. I’m here to argue for the Millennials and … Continue reading

Boston Marathon Tragedy
This is hard to watch. My heart is broken for Boston. As a runner, this is terrifying. I have to point out to the audience scared, paranoid at home, like we all are at this point, that feeling this terror is their goal. Feeling horrified and frightened to leave your house is what they want. … Continue reading
IGGY AZALEA
Rap Genius. Blonde Bombshell. Wilhelmina Model. Australian Expat. What’s not to love about Iggy Azalea? Wow. I mean. Why? I am blown away by this girl. Originally born Amethyst Amelia Kelly, the now hip hop queen dropped out of high school and moved to Miami at 16. She is the hottest Australian to hit the rap … Continue reading
THE 85TH OSCARS
Seth MacFarlane as the sexist host. I can’t decide whether I should applaud or start a radical feminist movement. After watching the 85th annual Oscars on ABC, I feel so conflicted. I am a devout fan of Seth MacFarlane. I have been following his career since my childhood, and my immediate reaction was that he … Continue reading
GAME OF THRONES
This show is highly expensive to produce for a reason. It rules. Game of Thrones is interesting to me because each character is multi-faceted. They are all good and bad.

A born computer engineer, he worked designing websites and other software companies throughout college. He founded Tumblr in November of 2007, at the … Continue reading
Tyler, The Creator of my new favorite song.
DOMO 23 I’m claiming this year the year of Tyler. After the release of WOLF in May 2012, Tyler let the ridiculously talented artists of Odd Future take the lead, including Grammy winner Frank Ocean’s Channel Orange, OF Tape Volume 2, as well as albums by Domo Genesis, Mike G, Earl Sweatshirt, and Mellowhype. This song and video … Continue reading

2013: The Anti-Resolution New Years Resolution
New Years Resolutions and Why They Do Not Work Everyone knows the story. The cliche weight loss goals that you never stick to. The New Year promises hope, to kill your old habits and become better at love, at work, at life. But I believe the entire notion of change and resolutions is flawed. Why … Continue reading
Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2
Why the final installation of the Twilight Saga was the best yet, but somehow still terrible. When it comes to the Twilight series, I did it wrong. I started with Breaking Dawn Part 1, and moved backward. Watching the story in reverse, it slowly got more boring. The final two movies were definitely the most … Continue reading
