Why “Having It Together” Feels Impossible in Your 20s Today
There’s a running joke among twenty-somethings that we’re all just winging it. We scroll through social media, half-laughing, half-crying at memes about credit scores, burnout, dating apps, and trying to afford groceries while pretending we know what a 401(k) actually does. But behind the humor, there’s a very real and shared feeling: we’re struggling to “have it together,” and it’s not entirely our fault.
Masks… In 2025?
It’s 2025. Why are people still wearing masks?
For the record, I wore masks anytime I was in public during the pandemic. 2020, 2021, 2022…if you met me in public during one of these years, I probably had a mask on.
I didn’t like doing it. I did it out of necessity. Sometimes you have to do certain things even if you don’t like them. Between maintaining public health and doing stuff I liked, the benefit from maintaining public health far outweighed the benefit from doing stuff I liked.
Why Tune In? KSSU DJs Tell You Themselves
Ever wonder what makes a college radio show worth listening to? On KSSU, no two shows are alike, and that’s the fun of it. Our DJs aren’t here to stick to a script or follow the same old playlist. Instead, they bring their own personalities, passions, and playlists straight to the mic. One hour you might be learning about underground artists, and the next you’re dancing to nostalgic throwbacks. We thought it was time to let our DJs do some bragging of their own, so we asked them to tell us what their shows are all about and why you should be tuning in.
The Allure of Underground Music and Fakemink’s Takeover
Music is a quick, unforgiving, and ruthless game. Artists fall in and out of the limelight faster than you can even believe. New artists hail from every corner of the world and fight over every inch of your screen.
Woes of Content Creation
Content creation can be difficult.
I’m not saying it’s the hardest thing in the world. There are plenty of activities that require much more time and effort than making YouTube videos or Instagram Reels.
To be able to pursue content creation is a very first world privilege. It’s not something a lot of people get to do in their free time, let alone as a career.
Take Life By The Horns: Run Lola Run Movie Review
Every second of every day you’re faced with a decision that can change your life.
Lola receives a frantic phone call from her boyfriend Manni through a payphone. Manni lost the bag of 100,000 DM (Deutsche Mark) on a subway train to a homeless man.

Empire of the Sun Concert Review at the Greek Theater
The first weekend of May, I was definitely “Walking on a Dream” or walking on pins and needles as I endured two back-to-back concerts on Friday and Saturday. Despite the way my feet and voice felt, I was happy to be “Alive” because I got to see Empire of the Sun perform on Saturday in Berkley’s Greek Theater.
The Struggles of Finding a Job After College
Graduation day feels like the pinnacle of success—caps flying, proud smiles, and the overwhelming sense that you’ve finally made it.

Hey hey, DJ Harrito here again and this time I’d like to take some time to discuss my favorite cosmetics from the game Fortnite because it’s been a little over a year since I started playing. I’ll be discussing some of my favorite cosmetics from the time I’ve started, Chapter 4 OG 2023, until recently in our recent chapter as of writing this, Chapter 6 Season 2.

Manifestation: More Than Just Wishful Thinking
You’ve probably heard the term “manifestation” thrown around a lot lately. It’s that buzzword people use when they talk about visualizing your dreams and making them a reality. But is it just another self-help trend, or is there something to it? Personally, I’ve started to believe there’s more to manifestation than meets the eye.
