Traveling solo

It was not long after my 18th birthday when I typed “cheapest flights to Europe” into my computer’s search bar. Four days later, I stood in the middle of Madrid, Spain with only a backpack on my shoulders and an unreadable Spanish map in my hands.

Orthography as a Political Phenomenon: Why don’t we use the Hebrew alphabet to write English?

For some time, Jewish people throughout the world have been known for their consistent use of the same writing system to produce written content in a variety of languages. Although, for the most part, this practice has declined in the modern age; these texts were once common to almost all Jewish communities, and their material spanned both religious contexts and every-day ones.

A Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor, I am writing in response to an opinion piece written by Tim Moyer, “A Critique of the Hate-Speech Policy,” published by The Lawrentian on Jan.31, 2021. Many current students have expressed concern about the opinions voiced in the piece, and while I do not believe it is my place to comment on these opinions, there is a factual inaccuracy in the article...

What in the World: The perfect reading nook

The perfect reading nook exists, I am sure of it. I am sure of it because I have experienced this nirvana personally, and, let me tell you, it feels as if one is supping from the very cup used during the Last Supper — provided you choose the correct chalice, of course. While many have explored this path before, searching for superiority in literary comfort, and found naught but personal ruin and destruction, the recipe for peak hard- or soft-cover consumption is quite simple. One only needs a plush wingback chair, a warm fire, a crossing of one’s legs just so and a purring cat upon the lap or a snoozing dog upon the feet.

What to Keep While Keeping On: An homage to home videos

On the desktop computer at my house, there are plenty of saved videos from when I was a kid. These videos are creations by my brother and me. We controlled everything, from directing to scripts and even costume and makeup. At the time, I honestly thought we were making masterpieces — and, looking back on them now, I would say that this still holds true today.

Voices from the Editorial Board: Confirming our editorial policies

We published this new editorial policy in last week’s edition of the paper, but at the time it was still waiting for approval from CODA that we were as thorough as possible in our inclusion. Since then, CODA confirmed this policy and it is now published here as it will stand going forward. The Lawrentian Editorial Policy as of Feb. 2, 2021...
