Q&A: Petrichor Jewelry founder Esther Hong on being impulsively artistic and the freedom of making one-of-a-kind art

(03/11/22 10:00pm)

The maker of avant-garde conversation starters, Esther Hong is a junior who started the jewelry company Petrichor in the spring of 2020. Her one-of-a-kind, upcycled necklaces have become coveted statement pieces for varying punk-inspired and vintage jewelry collections across campus and beyond.


In its 23rd year, the Carolina Theatre's Nevermore Film Festival still brings the frights

(02/21/22 2:00pm)

With Oscar nominations all over the media, it is easy to overlook anything film-related happening on the local front. However, the 23rd iteration of the Nevermore Film Festival, presented by Durham’s own Carolina Theatre, is a bona fide local institution that is not to be missed by anyone with a love of film — or just a free weekend. 





Vanessa Hudgens' Netflix movies define Christmas in ways that Santa Claus cannot

(12/27/21 1:00pm)

I should have known that Vanessa Hudgens was destined to make a lasting impact on the holiday movie scene ever since her iconic character Gabriella Montez was introduced to the “High School Musical” trilogy at a New Years’ party. I now know that any time a character of hers finds snow or hot chocolate, we are in for a wonderfully cheesy movie. Or two. Or three.


My love-hate relationship with small talk

(12/22/21 1:00pm)

The introvert in me avoids it. I dreaded O-Week for this very reason. Sharing small talk with people I don’t know and will likely never run into again has always felt so trivial to me, especially at the gloriously chaotic “2025 Welcome Carnival.” Yet, I know that small talk is the polite thing to do — and sometimes the only thing you can do — so, I’ve grown to tolerate it. Plus, I would be naïve to think I’d ever be able to avoid these conversations entirely. 






Rooftop yoga at the Durham Hotel: finding balance during the pandemic

(10/18/21 4:00am)

I can’t touch my toes without bending my knees, the splits are totally out of the question for me and I would not consider myself particularly zen. Still, I decided to drag myself out of bed at 8:30 on a Saturday morning to walk half an hour in the rain to the Durham Hotel to take a La Vita Yoga class with Jessica Collette. And let me tell you, I enjoyed every minute. 


‘Survivor’ Season 41 debut: Too new or a rejuvenated classic?

(10/04/21 4:00am)

Entertainment Weekly calls it “the granddaddy of reality TV.” My family calls it “the only show we can all agree to watch together.” Regardless of what you call it, “Survivor” is back, and Wednesday nights are normal again after sixteen long months. And as for the show being “back and better than ever,” I cannot bring myself to admit that just yet.
