Yesterday, I spent 9 hours crammed into a window seat on a Greyhound bus, before riding a packed rush-hour N train to the Inner Sunset, where I banged on the door of an apartment I had not yet moved my stuff into. This morning, I woke up at 7AM to get a croissant with an editor, before trudging ten blocks up to 19th Ave and entering Golden Gate Park, looking for the Outside Lands Box Office.

The lineup at the Coachella music festival has changed over the years, but one thing that hasn’t changed is the cultural appropriation of bindis by attendees. Celebrities like Vanessa Hudgens constantly fail to acknowledge the repeated attempts over social media to educate her on why donning a bindi at the music festival is not appropriate. Joining her in her inappropriate donning of the bindi included celebrities such as Selena Gomez, Sarah Hyland, and Kylie and Kendall Jenner.

I walked into the first Late Nights event of the semester, unsure of what to expect. Would it be a hazy room full of deep hipsters, spilling out their complicated hearts via poetry? Would there be snapping instead of clapping? Or perhaps it would be a cacophony of sounds, with some impromptu karaoke thrown in-between? Contrary to my imaginings, I was greeted with a warm café vibe. Students sat huddled around small round tables, with a crowd amassing along the sides of the room, enjoying USF’s talent. The ambiance was laidback, with students quietly chatting and snacking. Continue reading CAB Late Nights are Back
