The spinning rainbow wheel of life
1:24 a.m. My eyes are weary, drunk on blue light from the computer. I’ve been laying out the newspaper’s design for almost seven hours straight, the Mac computer full of opened Google docs, downloaded files and one essential InDesign page.

In honor of Valentine’s Day, I will count down some of my favorite romantic comedies. Before I start gushing about James Marsden, I wanted to clarify a common definition of what a rom-com is. Usually, the narrative is light-hearted, mainly focused on a protagonist finding love. I also want to acknowledge that historically, the romantic comedy genre is not diverse. Most of my top rom-coms feature white heterosexual relationships, and this is something I hope changes as the genre progresses.
