A champion is here. For just the second time in school history, the Michigan Wolverines are the last team standing in the NCAA Tournament. And looking back, this was a team that always felt destined for this moment.
Q: I’m still figuring out my friend group. Some people seem nice, but I’m not sure if they’re actually going to be my ‘forever’ friends. How can I tell the difference? I don’t want to get too invested in people who might not stick around, but I also don’t want to miss out on friendships that could actually last.
Has anyone else ever dealt with the niche kind of shock that comes from watching the “Frozen Worlds” episode of “Our Planet?” One minute David Attenborough’s soothing British voice is showing you the cute penguins as they reunite with their families, and the next you’re watching walruses fall off cliffs to their deaths due to rising sea levels taking over their habitats.
Welcome back to Bottom of the Ninth! We are now almost two weeks into the 2026 MLB season, and for many fans, including myself, overreactions are running rampant. With over four months to go until the postseason, it’s important to remember that there’s a lot of baseball left to play and plenty of time for your favorite team to turn things around.
The World Surf League’s 2026 Championship Tour has embarked on its regular season, taking the best surfers around the Pacific, the United States and even a stop to the United Arab Emirates. Its first stop: Bells Beach, Australia, from April 1 to 11.
As Boston enters April, though there are hints of warming weather, a more significant change is rain replacing the continuous snow. While we trek through the muddy paths uphill and contemplate whether to bring an umbrella to class, the sky overhead is shifting through different hues. Ancient East Asian potters noticed these nuanced changes and incorporated them into their works. So today we’ll be observing the celadon glaze widely used in East Asian ceramicware, which is reminiscent of the purity of jade and the mistiness of April rain.
Just months after achieving the best record in club history, which earned them the 2025 Supporters’ Shield (a trophy awarded to the club with the highest total points in the regular season), the Philadelphia Union find themselves at rock bottom of the league table.
With the Oscars closing out the awards season earlier this month, one of the most heated controversies leading up to the ceremony was Timothée Chalamet’s infamous comment about ballet and opera. I stumbled across his statement in the many clips and videos cut from his Variety & CNN Town Hall conversation with Matthew McConaughey. There were thousands of comments and online discussions about his remarks, with the majority criticizing Chalamet. However, upon taking a closer look at the video, as well as Chalamet’s Oscar campaign for his film “Marty Supreme,” I feel as if the internet’s reactions toward him are coming from a place other than simple criticism.
My roommate hears it far too often. It usually comes sometime after midnight, when I’m in bed, scrolling instead of sleeping. When I blurt it out, she tends to either laugh at me or immediately agree, blaming me for the suddenly developing craving.
Leatherwork is a relatively new love for Basil Cleveland, president and cofounder of the Boston Leather Guild. He discovered the material around five years ago through a different hobby –– woodworking.
On March 22, 2026, President Donald Trump wrote a letter to Basil Russo, national president of the Italian Sons and Daughters of America. In this letter, Trump announced that a statue of Christopher Columbus, gifted by the organization, would be displayed at the White House. He referred to Columbus as “the original American hero” as well as “one of the most gallant and visionary men to ever walk the face of the Earth.”
Welcome back, dear readers! With the almost 70-degree weather, you may be tempted to shy away from soup this week — after all, it is a warm substance often enjoyed during the winter months. But we must challenge ourselves to push back against such silly ideas, for soup is far too wonderful a thing to be enjoyed during only part of the year. Why should the weather dictate our soup consumption and therefore our happiness? It is with the same energy and enthusiasm of a Sink patron ordering an iced coffee as snow falls outside that we made this week’s soup.
Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s “Project Hail Mary” (2026) is one of those films that you enter with high expectations, only to find that it doesn’t meet them in any of the ways you anticipated, yet leaves you just as — if not more — fulfilled in ways you never anticipated.
The weather is warming up, reviving both the grass and students alike. Although it might seem like reading season is over, with fireplaces extinguished and sweaters folded up until next winter, I disagree. While perhaps not as idyllic as reading outdoors in the fall, picking up a book and taking it outside is a wonderful way to greet the spring.
Q: Someone I hooked up with last year is now stalking me. He has my home address and everything. I blocked him, but now I’m worried that he’s gonna show up at my house. Should I go to the police or what?
Whenever March Madness rolls around, a sort of mythos always emerges surrounding the storylines and narratives that go into that year’s games. With every buzzer beater or Cinderella story, these legends are deepened, etching themselves into the history of what very well may be the most revered sporting event in the United States.
Welcome back to another week of “Serve & Survey.” This week’s question is both in honor of St. Patrick’s Day over spring break and from something I’ve noticed in everyday conversations — how often people credit outcomes to luck vs. control.
After returning from Los Angeles, I feel renewed by a powerful dose of vitamin D, a few extra pounds and enough matchas to make my wallet shed a few tears. I’m happy to say we’re back! Spring is officially here! Days are getting longer and the weather is (supposedly) getting warmer! With only a handful of weeks left in the semester, one might say life is looking lusher than before.
A week or two ago, my host parents had a few guests over for dinner. They were family friends from Amsterdam: very interesting, opinionated and not afraid to tell a story. My host parents wanted my housemate and I there to act as jesters. We were to be the entertainment for dinner.
Q: I’m in a situationship that includes everything except commitment and basic clarity. I caught feelings but I don’t think they’re ready to commit, so I’m wondering: How do I turn my situationship into a relationship?
