Why is this Seder different from all others?: My first Yale Passover

This April, I’ve been clearing my search history more than usual. Not for the reason one might normally press delete — get your mind out of the gutter — but because it is riddled with “is ___ kosher for Passover?” Every year I try and fail to keep kosher for Passover, but maybe this year will be different.

'Blank Space' in memory? Researchers investigate Taylor Swift-induced amnesia

In a recent review, School of Public Health student Nathan Carroll theorized that excitement and sensory overload could explain memory lapses among concertgoers during the pop star’s Eras Tour.

Review: Laura Palmer's Close-Up in "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me"

Spoilers ahead… if you aren’t familiar with a TV series that came out in the 1990s…Last Sunday, I drove home to Boston to see a 35mm screening of David Lynch’s “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me” — released in 1992 — at the Brattle Theater in Harvard Square. I settled into my endearingly lumpy seat, and the film began with a woman’s scream and a television smashed with a pipe…Just over 30 minutes into the film, the iconic “Welcome to Twin Peaks” sign appears on screen, with Angelo Badalamenti’s hypnotizing theme song accompanying — an indication to any Twin Peaks fan that they are entering a familiarly strange and disturbing world. But this Twin Peaks is different from the world of the show; Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee), whose mysterious death animates the television series, is still alive. She walks down the street of an idyllic neighborhood, her skin dappled with sunlight streaming through the tree branches. She is contemplative, preoccupied, but a smile dances across her face nevertheless. 17 years old with a mane of blonde hair and her school books in her arms, she is the picture of innocence. It is tempting to stop the movie here, to allow ourselves to believe that Laura is merely thinking about a crush or appreciating the weather. Instead, the film goes on, and the nightmarish lead-up to Laura’s death unfolds.The beginning of Laura’s long list of admirers quickly presents itself: James Hurley (James Marshall), the brooding but earnest secret lover; Bobby Briggs (Dana Ashbrook), the goonish boyfriend whom Laura uses for cocaine and sex; Donna Hayward (Moira Kelly), her naive best friend; and Harold Smith (Lenny Von Dohlen), a recluse. Laura is beloved, and she knows it. She drifts from one person to the next, sucking their attention and love with a vampiric mania. She shifts seamlessly from sickly sweet to mortally terrified to dangerously manipulative. She wreaks havoc on those around her to distract from the terror in her own life, as a means of gaining some control over her otherwise violated existence, violently fractured by an evil force called Bob (Frank Silva) who has been sexually abusing her since she was 12.At night, Laura lives a secret life — heading into the woods with Bobby to score cocaine and murdering someone in the process, doing drugs and working as a prostitute at the local Bang Bang Bar, or sneaking off to meet men at a cabin in the woods, an act which will ultimately lead to her death. Under the neon lights of the bar or in the glaringly bright light of day, Laura’s demons follow her.As the film progresses, linearity is abandoned, and the division between the “real world” — if such a thing exists in this movie — and the dreamscape of Laura’s nightmares evaporates. It becomes impossible to predict where the next scene will take us as the preceding one fades out. Laura’s face anchors the transitions. Sheryl Lee delivers one of the most heartbreaking performances I have seen in recent memory. With each widening of her eyes or tear slipping down her cheek, she embodies the abject terror of a young woman forced to witness her own demise. In the hands of a less skilled actress, Laura’s humanity might become secondary to the dizzying visuals and bizarre narrative movement of this film, but Lee ensures that Laura remains the beating heart of this film.The Palmer House becomes a house of horrors for our protagonist. As cinematographer Ron Garcia’s camera roams through the house from Laura’s point of view, each corner turned and door opened promises a new terrifying reality. There is nowhere safe for Laura to go, even in the light of day. The most terrifying scenes of “Fire Walk with Me” take place at the Palmer’s dinner table. What starts as a normal conversation between a father and an uninterested teenager quickly verges into violent territory as Leland (Ray Wise), Laura’s father, catches sight of Laura’s half of a heart-shaped friendship necklace. He crosses the table, grabbing the necklace from her chest. “Did you get this from your lover?” he demands. She stares back at him, her eyes wide and glistening in fear. Her hands shake and her mouth frowns in pain as he grabs her cheek with his thumb, a gesture of affection escalated to inflict pain. She sobs silently at the dinner table. There is no one in the world to protect Laura; she is completely alone. This scene — like any between Laura and her father — is particularly disturbing to watch with the knowledge that Leland is Bob. The man terrorizing her and sending her down a path of destruction has been inside her house all along. For viewers of the television show, this is no revelation. But for Laura, the tragic discovery trickles in slowly, delivered in puzzle pieces she initially tries to reject.By virtue of the film’s departure from a coherent structure and its startling diversions into the surreal, the two-hour-plus runtime wears on the audience. Certain scenes feel almost gratuitous, like when a white horse briefly appears and vanishes in Laura’s mother’s bedroom for no discernible reason. As a result, the pacing falters in the last third of the film. The film also starts with a digression into the murder of Teresa Banks and only reaches Twin Peaks proper half an hour into the film. And for those unacquainted with the television show, the film wouldn’t make sense. “Fire Walk with Me” is a thematically and stylistically challenging film targeted at a very specific audience. Unsurprisingly, it was met with negative reviews when it was first released in the early 1990s and has only come to be critically appreciated decades since. As with any David Lynch film, this movie offers few answers. Leland kills Laura, wrapping her in plastic and setting her adrift. But the last we see of Laura is in the Black Lodge, an inexplicable metaphysical space that figures prominently in every iteration of “Twin Peaks.” The music swells, and a white light flashes across Laura’s face. She begins to laugh and cry simultaneously. An angel arrives to offer her absolution. She is free, or so an audience who has watched her suffer and completely lose herself must believe. “Your Laura disappeared,” she tells James on the night of her death. “It’s just me now.”

Perfect Crystals in an Icy Haze - Yale Daily News

As a child of the Sonoran Desert, I grew up cherishing snow. It would only come once every few years, and it was an event. Not in the social sense — we didn’t get snow days at the first sign of frozen precipitation, which often seems to be a stereotype of the southern states. In Tucson, Arizona, I never got a snow day. I did, occasionally, get snow.

Reconceptualizing the first date - Yale Daily News

When you’re getting ready to go on a date, especially the very first one, there’s so much anticipation. You get caught up in your own expectations, questions about the future, how to impress them, or any other number of things that aren’t related to the actual person you’re going out with. Once you’re able to remove yourself from expectations, you open yourself up to learn a lot more about a person, which I believe has value in itself.

Just an Old Sweet Song - Yale Daily News

Pleasant, persistent and pleasurable. These are the characteristics of any earworm: a song, tune or melody that reverberates constantly in one’s mind. An earworm can have a catchy beat, a rhythm in step with one’s daily routine or a sentimental allure. Regardless, an earworm serves as the broken record of the soundtrack of your day. And for me, this tune — my earworm — is “Georgia on My Mind.”

Annual Wardrobe Festivities for the Meteorologically Challenged

Over the past few weeks, there’s been almost no occasion where I was dressed for the same weather as my friends. Half of them were all bundled up in cozy wool-knit sweaters, while the other half donned their beloved shorts. Are we all just meteorologically challenged at Yale? Maybe. Is nature playing a guessing game of dress-up? Definitely.

In Defense of Directed Studies - Yale Daily News

It is August, and I am arriving at a lecture hall far below the stairs of the Humanities Quadrangle. Plato and Gilgamesh shroud my mind, and the Hebrew Bible is somewhere in the back knocking on the front door; hours in attempt of pouring over their meaning weigh heavily over me. The lecture hall’s interior is a lowly-lit labyrinth of nervous, but enthusiastic students, full of an inviting presence that I did not previously associate with Directed Studies.
