Read MoreWHAT I THOUGHT WESLEYAN WAS GOING TO BE BASED ON MY WESFEST EXPERIENCE
As I (rather, my dad) rolled down Wyllys Avenue playing David Guetta’s newest song from the car speakers, I turned it up when I definitely, definitely should have turned it down.

There are nights we return home to our empty rooms with fluorescent lights and meager windows, and Facebook feeds. And we are restless. We pace around the eight square feet of space that is our dorms, opening and closing, and reopening and closing the mini-fridge, hoping each try will yield a different result, unsure of what we are searching for, besides something to quench our thirst…our longing. We lie in narrow beds, cold and trembling, begging for sleep that won’t come, convinced that the heat of a warm body next to ours is the cure.

Recently, Ujamaa, Wesleyan’s Student of Color Organization, conducted an event called “Race, Representation, and Television: Idiot Box or Inspiration.” This group met last month to plan events for Black History Month and has been leading various events all month.

Read MoreTHE MAN REPELLER AND THE HUMORIZATION OF SERIOUS FASHION
The epitome of the “logic of wrong” (something so tragique that it starts to make complete sense), Leandra Medine places both the reader and her body (as well as what she adorns it with) in a constant state of question, always pushing the boundaries of what constitutes as “fashion”.
