Sweden’s Christmas traditions: St. Lucia’s Day
I have two words to sum up my experience in Sweden during Christmas time: cold and dark. The days felt incredibly short, and I don’t think I saw the sun for the entire month of December while I was there. Yet I found the Swedes remarkably prepared for this long,...

WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!’s penultimate episodes leave nobody safe

Back to reality: Returning to campus after a year abroad
After a year of blissful ignorance of real academic pressure, I’m back and am now experiencing what I can only describe as a reverse culture shock. Clearly, not everything stayed the same in my absence. One moment, I was navigating the trams of Gothenburg, the next I was standing in...

WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!! hits new heights: Smosh’s two-part special goes all in
Just when I thought WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!! had peaked, Smosh dropped not one but two back-to-back episodes, both of which somehow raised the bar. Titled Black Fog (Part 1 & 2), these episodes saw a rewinding of the clock to explore the events that started it all, and introduced...
