All in Culture
After the end of a grueling month of p-sets, essays, and juggling who knows how many other responsibilities and obligations, MODA Blog brings you a refreshing list of favorites from our bloggers and photographers to fill you with inspiration and energy for the next month.
Through part of one of my many (and frequently abandoned) self improvement stints, I discovered The Outline and have stuck with reading their modern take on current events and newstories. Subscribing to their email subscription list (you can do so too - here!) has upped my morning with current events and incredible graphic design (a refreshing alternative to other news outlets!)
If you're anything like me, reading period looks like a major Netflix binge and sleeping brigade; a much needed self-love sesh to prevent severe burn out. However, if you're also anything like me, this relapse into loafing and overt relaxation is addictive and dangerously difficult to eventually snap out of.
As we enter into the grueling week ahead, check out some of these upbeat and energizing tunes that always help me out of the lull of the Reg stacks and motivated to do some work.
Black Panther, Marvel's newest film and arguably one of the most anticipated releases of 2018, has already seen record-breaking box office success. Of course, movies released in the Marvel universe are almost always surrounded by a certain level of buzz, but the hype around Black Panther reached new levels of interest, especially since several casting announcements in 2016 made it evident that Black Panther's cast would be almost completely made up of black actors.
A look and the most striking, and most sensational, looks of the 2018 Academy Awards.
Black History Month is upon us, and luckily, we're living in one of the best cities to celebrate. Chicago is rich with black history, so if you're looking for an excuse to get off of campus this month, consider soaking up some black excellence at one of these events.
A new week means a new Monday of new music, both here on MODA and in your Spotify Discover Weekly. Let this little series add some cool tunes to your ears and start the week on a bright note. This week features Maggie Rogers.
