On April 1st, 2021, Netflix released a seven episode series known as Worn Stories, based off of the book by Emily Spivack. The show focuses on the stories people associate with sentimental items of clothing, or the lack of clothing at all. The mini series opens in a nudist community. This may seem like a strange choice for a series about clothing, but the choice to be nude is in many ways connected to an individual’s connection with clothing.
Each episode focuses on a specific theme such as growing up or lost and found and involves a series of interviews with people about their clothing. The initial episode begins in a nudist community seemingly largely for the shock value, but also tells the stories of the individuals within the Florida community and their reasonings for their choices to go nude. This centers around an older couple who choose to go entirely nude except for shoes even when doing woodworking! The couple maintains that being nude has helped them find community and become their full selves without the confinement and restriction of clothing.

Fairytales have persisted throughout history due to their combination of morals and their applicability. The simplest stories can be transplanted to any culture or period of history and take on a new life when given a new lens to present its tale. It's fascinating to see how these stories have been translated and amended over the past few centuries, but as we enter the 20's, it's important to see where a lot of these stories can go beyond the Shrek treatment.

1. Never say, "I'll Never Get the Job"
It's an easy thought to have or self-deprecating joke to say, but thinking of inevitable unemployment will only shrink your self-confidence and willingness to apply to internships and career-building programs. Instead, proclaim your English major with assertiveness and excitement. Remind yourself of the numerous opportunities that await you as a skilled writer, editor, and critical thinker.
Like writing any short story or novel, an English degree gives you a blank page to create your own path and storyline. Congratulate yourself on this decision and your gift of mobility. If all else fails, remember the great writers before you and their dependency on confidence and self-motivation: "Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit."- E. E. Cummings The Breadcrumbs widget will appear here on the published site.

By Lina Romero A little over a year ago, I was cast in a play that was cancelled a week into rehearsal due to COVID-19. I thought I wouldn’t have another opportunity to perform until after the pandemic but one of my fellow ex-cast members sent me information for a play that would rehearse online and film the final product: El Eterno Feminino.

![]() Carrie Bradshaw, you have done it again. You have kept us hanging on your every word and dot dot dot for almost 11 years now. Finally, you return, gracing us with your inconsistency, cigarettes and articles ending with rhetorical questions. Our only hope is this time you return with a legitimate understanding of race, cultural appropriation and human decency.

By Alex Carrigan A person's identity is built up of many pieces that are constantly polished, sharpened, and reformed as the structure is formed. Many factors can influence one's development, whether it's their gender, sexuality, heritage, personal history, and more. To understand how one came to be, and how all of this can inform one's art, it takes a deep dive into the psyche and the past to truly understand one's self.
