Alexa Dark: Dark, Vol. I

If you took a James Bond girl but gave her a mic and a whiskey sour you will probably get Alexa Dark serenading you. Alexa Dark has grown up all over the world and has developed a unique sound. I asked her some questions about what influenced her dark feminine energy and what she plans to do next. You are multicultural, how has each country you've lived in influenced your music, style, and taste? Experiencing different cultures and cities firsthand at a young age really shape

Cab Ellis Sits with 47Magazine

Cab Ellis is an NYC-based group consisting of eight members making their way through the NYC rock scene. Their sound experiments a lot, making it difficult to categorize them. They incorporate hip-hop, jazz, rap, bar rock, and indie, making their sound different than anyone you’ve heard. Some of their influences are The Velvet Underground, Bob Dylan, Mac Miller, and more.

Best Museums and Libraries in NYC

New York City is full of some of the best museums and libraries the country has to offer. A visit to one is a great way to spend a rainy afternoon or spend the day with friends. They can provide spaces to study as well as hangout spots with a laidback atmosphere. Another plus to all these spaces in the city is that they are often discounted or even free for students! This makes them accessible as great places for students and provides the opportunity to explore different arts

How Gen Z is Bringing Back Magazine Culture

Magazines have been a staple of society for quite a while. Whether you’re looking for information on celebrities, pop culture, household items, vehicles, you name it, there’s more than likely a magazine that is based around that topic. A lot of times, they are geared towards advertising products and making a profit. Zines, on the other hand, are not always as widespread as magazines. They are not commercially published and normally are created by a single person or group. Occ

Burnout within Gen Z

Burnout is like when you're working your tentacles off at the Krusty Krab, flipping patties, taking orders from Mr. Krabs, and you're going at it non-stop, day after day, with no time to rest or have a little jellyfishing fun with your pals. Your enthusiasm gets squashed like a jellyfish under Patrick's rock, and you start feeling like Squidward on his grumpiest day. Your energy gets all drained out, just like when Plankton's tryin' to steal the secret formula for the umpteen

As time ticks down for wherever you are right now, you can't help but wonder what the future holds.

Virgo's Groove

HAPPY PSL (pumpkin spice latte) SEASON, but more importantly… HAPPY VIRGO SEASON! Now, we all know Instagram astrology, Virgos are “know it alls, worrywarts, and too critical.” Let us get into the true astrology where a Virgo life cycle is often represented by the Greek goddess of spring and winter, Persephone. Virgos are mutable analytical thinkers who are mature beyond age and have so much kindness to give to the world. The Queen of Queens, or so they will end up. When re

House Fire

A strange smell wakes me in the middle of the night. I open my eyes to find a curtain covered with flame sitting by my window. Fire floods my room. Ash starts to cloud my vision. The smoke fills my lungs and suddenly I can’t breathe. All I have are my hands to feel my way out. The wood floors are getting hotter and hotter underneath my feet. I drop to my knees to escape the ash clouds intoxicating me. Trying to crawl and feel around for the way to the door, I focus on what I

Dirty Girls Retrospective

Three months ago I turned twenty. I successfully survived the trauma that is being a teenage girl and all I got to show for it was multiple mental illness diagnoses and a fear of walking home at night. It can not be understated how complicated it is to exist as a teenage girl. The entire world unequivocally despises everything about you and there’s no escape from that fact. As a teenager, I couldn’t understand why a world I had so much love and hope for wanted me to live in f

Summers Hidden Treasure: The movie that got swept up in the summer chaos that you need to see.

It’s 10:20 AM, there is a cherry-coke icee in my left hand, a large popcorn in my right, and a pack of Twizzlers smuggled away in my tote bag. It’s 104 outside on a Saturday morning, and I’m expecting an empty theatre, to my delight, it is not empty, each row is filled with dazzling smiles and awaits a specific yet inviting ensemble of perky, ambitious, talented theatre kids. It’s no secret summer is a big time for blockbusters, from Transformers to Turtles, to the unmentiona

“Oppenheimer” Could Have Been Better: Here’s Why

With the new release of the well-watched film “Oppenheimer,” and the constant talk about the film’s projected success and strong reviews, I felt that this one was a movie I couldn’t miss. Even with the seemingly boring topic and three-hour run-time, I was intrigued to see Cillian Murphy play J. Robert Oppenheimer, and of course, I was excited to see another Nolan film. So, I texted some friends, bought my ticket to the Lincoln Square AMC, bought a large bucket of popcorn, and
