The “runner’s high” describes the content and calming sensation that the act of running has on individuals, University of Wisconsin second year PhD student Alexander Boruch.

Why we need etiquette
Etiquette as it is understood today has fallen into irrelevance at the cost of personal social freedom, mutual respect and the ability to be socially mobile. What happened? I understand etiquette within the context of this article to mean any traditional behavioral display of politeness that exists within a society, regardless of slight differentiation that may emerge on the basis of region and class divides.

(You’re not a) Brooklyn Baby
“I believe in the country America used to be,” says Lana Del Rey breathily in the video-only intro to her song “Ride.” The video pictures a denim-clad Del Rey moving through southwestern deserts, riding on the back of motorcycles and wrapping herself up in an American flag, among other scenes of distilled Americana.

The rise of cannibalism culture
“Whenever feasible,” says Hannibal Lecter, “one should always try to eat the rude.” He is sitting in an expensively decorated office, cross-legged in a three piece suit.

Stories act as the continuance of culture, language, ancestry and sovereignty, which is why three Indigenous storytellers gathered last Thursday night to share their stories with around 100 Madison residents and students.

Minimalism: Killer of connection
OPINION Chloe Hansen, Opinion Columnist The aesthetics and values of mobile-device technology have impacted every aspect of the human mind, but it is the ideals of production and efficiency behind these designs that have altered us. Especially as students, we have been affected the most. The goal of the Apple design team seems to be to churn out a new version of their products every few years that is thinner, cleaner and somehow even less stylized than the model that came before it.
Bitch!
Catherine Earnshaw, Sylvia Plath, Wednesday Addams and Courtney Love. Weird girls. Insane. Bitches. The list goes on for miles. Women have been branded hysterical for feeling rage since the word “bitch” was coined. “Women have often felt insane when cleaving to the truth of our experience,” Adrienne Rich said in her 1975 essay “Women and Honor: Some Notes on Lying.” The life of an angry woman is a lonely one: laced with self-doubt, self-gaslighting and plenty of external contempt. She seeks solace.
Crossfire: Girlboss; Slay, or Nay
OPINION I’m Not A Girlboss; I’m Ontologically Evil – Kyle Mathy “Girlboss,” typically associated with the likes of Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Taylor Swift and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is normally about women in power who supposedly shattered the glass ceiling or challenged the patriarchy. This is a flawed definition and a destructive mode of thinking. Giorgia Meloni is Italy’s first female prime minister — a girlboss for sure. She is also Italy’s most right-wing leader since Mussolini.
The importance of inhabiting beautiful spaces
OPINION Chloe Hansen, Opinion Writer The human mind thrives on beauty. We ache for the picturesque; we heavily decorate our spaces; we take breaks from our own designs to enjoy the aesthetics of nature; we decorate ourselves in a great variety of fashions and may pass through many modes of visual theme and taste.
On Salman Rushdie: An endangered art
Front Page Slideshow OPINION Chloe Hansen, Opinion Writer On Aug. 12, 2022, novelist Salman Rushdie was stabbed 15 times on stage prior to giving a lecture at the Chautauqua Institution in New York. Why aren’t we protecting our writers? Why, unprotected, open to attack and scorn, do they continue to write? To be a writer in the public eye means making a series of proclamations.
In Defense of Dining
OPINION Chloe Hansen, Opinion Writer Modern academia has lost track of the concept of balancing society and intellectualism; the cure for finding it again is to reacquaint ourselves with in-person discourse through the hosting of dinner parties. This was the initial thought I had when I began considering the topic for this article, and in tracing back my claim I predominantly stumbled across the ideas of Immanuel Kant.
