It’s a great week to be a fan girl. The sequel Wicked: For Good is dropping in theaters Thursday, Nov. 21, and so is Tate McRae’s deluxe album, So Close To What . And just last week, the third installment of the heist franchise, Now You See Me: Now You Don’t , hit theaters Nov. 14.

Carlos Alcaraz, from Spain, and Taylor Fritz, from America, competed against each other in the first round of the ATP Finals in Italy on Nov. 11. (Photo credit: Yahoo Sports) Along with Formula 1, I’ve recently been getting into tennis. To me, this rapidly growing interest in both sports tells me I’m maturing, and I’ll tell you why. In the past, whenever I saw tennis on television, I thought about how boring it seemed. I thought: it’s merely hitting a ball back and forth. Not

My friends and I at the Washington Monument before things went south. Last week, I found myself stranded in Washington, D.C., with two friends, no phones and zero sense of direction in the middle of the night. I like to believe everything happens for a reason. In this particular case, the universe decided the “reason” was to test my survival skills and teach me the importance of always having a portable charger on hand. Let me set the scene: I was in Washington, D.C., for a s

My internship "contract" last summer at IW Group. It’s silly season — for students. If you’re a Formula One fan, you know exactly what I mean. For everyone else, here’s the breakdown: Silly season is the most chaotic time of the year in Formula 1. It’s when teams and drivers scramble to negotiate contracts for the next season. Deals are uncertain, tensions are high and no one’s future feels guaranteed. Sound familiar? Because right now, a lot of students are going through the

From earlier this year — me with the volleyball team I coached. I’ve talked about my Division I athlete past life on this blog before, but today I want to discuss the aftermath of that experience. When I was a collegiate volleyball player, there was a term we used to describe nonathletes: narp. I honestly couldn’t tell you where that word came from, but I know that as athletes, we definitely used it in a condescending way. So, naturally, when I made the decision to quit volle

Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen in 2018. It’s race weekend in Austin, Texas, and many American fans are celebrating the fact that they don’t have to wake up at the crack of dawn to catch the race. Personally, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I can tune into the qualifying session at 2 p.m. on Saturday and then the race at 12 p.m. on Sunday. The Circuit of the Americas — or COTA — has been on the Formula One calendar since its debut in November 2012. In my opinion, i

Former Formula Once driver, Daniel Ricciardo, smirking at the camera. Over the summer, I found a new obsessive interest: Formula One. Since then, the sport has consumed my algorithm across all social media platforms, been the main topic of conversation with many people and forced me to wake up as early as 5 a.m. for a Sunday race. The motorsport piqued my interest after my dad forced me to watch The Seat  on Netflix, a documentary about Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One rooki

My media day picture from 2023. Have you ever been in a position where you felt inadequate? Same — I’ve been there. I’m going to take a good guess and say that you have, too. How about this: Have you ever wanted something so badly, but when you got there you felt like you didn’t belong? That’s exactly how I felt when I played Division I volleyball. Every day I had to remind myself that I worked hard to get there, and that I deserved my spot just as much as the girl next to me
