Sophomore Emma Bucklan has a series of recordings on her phone – “Noodle Session 1,” “Noodle Session 2” and so on. At first she was just playing around and figuring out what sounded good together, but these sessions turned into a full-length self-produced solo piano album.

Everyone has their thing at Duke. Some talented, ambitious people occupy themselves by juggling passion upon passion with classes and clubs. I will forever count myself lucky that I found my thing during my first week at Duke: Recess.

In the two months since the Rubenstein Arts Center opened, it has hosted two world premieres, an artist in residence and an opening attended by over 3,000 people. But the arts building still has a long way to go before it becomes the student space it is supposed to be.

Waking up in my new, full-size, Megadorm bed on the first day of classes this semester, the first thought I had was, “This is the first day of the rest of your life.” My second thought was, “I can’t do this.” Between a sleepy, not quite fully productive summer and a semester abroad where I did a lot of other things besides work, I felt like I was waiting to get back to Duke and start figuring out the rest of my life: namely, what I was going to do with an English major and a vague love of journalism and the arts. And after months and months of waiting to come back to one of my favorite places on earth, I suddenly felt that I wasn’t ready.

The Wombats have grown, both in popularity and in musical style, since the release of their first album “A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation” 11 years ago. The Liverpool-based rock trio is a quintessential British alt-rock band, delivering catchy songs with quirky lyrics about relationships and growing up. In “Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life,” released Friday, the band sticks to that formula. The three singles released ahead of the album alluded to a promise of greater growth from the band, but the rest of the album does not quite live up to that potential.

For its latest installation, the Power Plant Gallery, located on the American Tobacco Campus, consists of a darkened brick room. Although the darkened windows are a practicality for viewing the installation, titled “The Way Things Can Happen,” the setup creates a sense of entering an underground bomb shelter, a fitting home for an exhibit about the dangers of nuclear war.

Anyone who knows me knows I am not an adventurous eater. Sure, I haven’t fallen victim to any vegan or clean-eating craze, but I also won’t be first in line to try the sushi burrito or kale chips or whatever the kids are into these days. Comfort food is the type of food that I like best — why branch out when you can have food you know you like? That being said, I am one to try to experience local culture, so upon arriving in Berlin for the semester, I knew there was one food I needed to try immediately: currywurst.

San Diego Comic-Con: it's internationally known as nerd paradise, where a few lucky and devoted fans get inside information on their favorite franchises. The rest of us can merely wait for trailers and movie news to slowly trickle out from its source. While SDCC was first created in 1970 to celebrate comic books, science fiction and fantasy culture, it now covers a variety of pop culture. SDCC always offers up new information about ongoing Marvel projects, but it has also expanded to cover areas like video games, anime and animation. Some panels even discuss more serious topics, such as diversity in comics or portraying minorities in film. Recess doesn’t quite have an inside look at these panels, but it can fill you in on some of the greater highlights of the convention.

On June 16, it finally happened: Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor,
known to the public as Lorde, dropped her second album, “Melodrama.”
Fans everywhere eagerly awaited the release, as her debut album “Pure
Heroine” came out almost four years ago in Sept. 2013. On “Melodrama,”
Lorde pulls off a feat rarely achieved by pop artists: releasing a
second album that lives up to its predecessor. While the album is
beautifully put together as a musical statement, Lorde also uses “Melodrama” to
display the emotions and confusions associated with growing up.

Although “Guardians of the Galaxy” is part of Marvel’s ever-expanding collection of superhero movies, it has always differed from the more mainstream “Avengers” franchise in its focus on humor and, of course, '80s pop music repertoire. “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” lives up to its predecessor while seeking to further expand upon characters introduced in the first movie.
