Glee

 One of my favorite shows to rewatch is Glee. I used to be in high school choir and everyone in the school would think that the choir was a cult kind of like how no one liked the glee club. I do like the idea of a teacher who has a musical background to take on such a task as to create a glee club and encourage students of all different backgrounds in the school to come together to create great music. Glee is very closely tied to pop culture because it centers on contemporary pop music throughout the decades, Broadway music, and classics. the show reintroduces the music to the audiences through covers that often reflected on current trends. A lot of the music performed on Glee re-entered music charts. beyond their music, Glee engages directly with cultural convos of its time. It addresses topics such as LGBTQ+, identity, body image, race, disability, mental health, and social media.

    I forgot I binged this heavily last semester, and it reminded me of middle school and high and my own experience in choir. The show does really well with making experiences feel relatable and even validating, especially the idea that music creates community as well as challenges such topics as you've already conveyed. I still listen to some of their tracks on shuffle. You did well at concisely explaining the show because I feel it can be overlooked but it has a lot of depth.

    My friends and I back at home LOVE glee we watch it almost every time I come home from college, even during the breaks when I'm home, we watch it. We love how every episode is different, and some are even very relatable to some of us, and we loved the different dynamics happening in the show. We also listen to some of the songs because we lowkey think some of the glee version songs are better than the actual version of it.

A Heated Rivalry or Wicked Misogyny?

Image
 As someone who may hold bias to the extent that I refuse to watch Heated Rivalry, I think it's important to state that I've seen a couple of episodes, and the show just isn't for me. I've also watched both the Wicked movies starring Cynthia Erivo and Arianna Grande. Now you are probably wondering what these two media films have in common. Well, nothing to be exact, and I think that's the preface we must state first.  This isn't about the series/movies, it's about the co-stars, but first, here's a little context you may need to understand where I am coming from. Arianna Grande plays in the musical adaptation of Wicked and Wicked for Good, directed by Jon M. Chu. She takes on the role of playing Galina (Galinda the Good), she is a very privileged and self-absorbed young woman who attends Shiz University and ends up facing an internal battle of being for the people or wanting her personal desire to keep her bond with Elphaba. Elphaba Thropp (The Wicked Wit...

Intro/Post-Grad Plans!

Hi everyone, My name is Emily Webb, and I’m from Frederick, Maryland. I am a senior majoring in Digital Culture & Design with a double minor in Graphic Design and Social Media. I am currently finishing up my applications for Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) programs in Technology Education or Art Education. My goal is to become a secondary teacher for digital arts courses. I am excited about combining my love for digital media with teaching and helping students develop both creative and technical skills. Outside of school, I enjoy crafting with my Cricut. I love designing projects and bringing them to life by pressing my designs onto clothes and other items. Creating something tangible from a digital idea is really rewarding. I’m looking forward to connecting with all of you, sharing ideas, and learning from your experiences this semester!  If you’re a senior, what are your post-grad plans (I know, the dreaded question), and if you’re not, what are you hoping to do after gradua...
