New Beginnings, New Chapter, New Perspective
Diny Davis (she/her/hers), Low Entropy Volunteer Writer “It’s never too late for a new beginning in your life.’’ – Joyce Meyer As the clock strikes midnight on December 31st, a collective sense of anticipation fills the air. The New Year is a time of reflection, renewal and reinvention. It’s a chance to turn the page, […]
Love is Inevitable
Cristina Crescenzo (she/her/hers), Low Entropy Volunteer Writer If I am being honest, I have feared that the kind of love Shakespeare and Austen wrote about doesn’t exist, at least not in the world I know today. Maybe, in the eras when those words were written, all-consuming love and the sacrifices one made in pursuing it […]
All the World’s a Stage: Appreciating the Beauty of Pole Dancing
Lauren Long (she/her/hers), Low Entropy Volunteer Writer William Shakespeare said “All the world’s a stage” in As You Like It. The world is indeed a stage, but it means different things to different people. For me as a pole dancer, it means a form of dance that I love and am really good at after […]
A Reflection on Thankfulness
Grace Song (she/her/hers), Low Entropy Volunteer Writer Gratitude is a cornerstone of a meaningful life—a powerful force that shifts our focus from what we lack to what we have. It enriches our lives and strengthens our relationships. For me, gratitude also deepens my connection with God. As someone who believes in the importance of faith, […]
Stitch Together the Fragments
Fátima Lima (she/her/hers), Low Entropy Volunteer Writer “Happiness is pretty simple: someone to love, something to do, something to look forward to.” – Rita Mae Brown I’ve often wished this idea were more specific. For me, art has been all these things—a source of solace, meaning and connection in chaos. It’s my favorite thing because […]
A Constant Performance
Rowan Sanan (he/him/his), Low Entropy Volunteer Writer As a musician, I tend to find music in the most unlikely of places. The slightly out-of-sync turn signals in a lineup of cars becomes a polyrhythm. Bird calls become unique melodies. I think it’s important to stop and appreciate these little things, as hard as it is […]
Why Family Matters
Cassandra Di Lalla (she/her/hers), Low Entropy Volunteer Writer My family is so precious and valuable to me—both those who are still roaming the earth and those who have passed away. I always talk about my family because they’re the most loving, caring, supportive and selfless people I know. They’ve gotten me through the darkest […]
Why Family Matters
Diny Davis (she/her/hers), Low Entropy Volunteer Writer “Family is not an important thing. It’s everything.” – Michael J. Fox Family is the cornerstone of our existence. It’s where many of us learn to love, to laugh and to tackle life’s hurdles together. In this fast-paced world, it’s easy to forget just how much our families […]
Gratitude and Grace
Olivia Alberton (she/her/hers), Low Entropy Volunteer Writer I think it is safe to say that we have all been told or have heard that we “should be grateful” for what we have. Things such as waking up, getting out of bed, our good health and having a roof over our heads are just a few […]
Bright Spots in Horrible Days
Ananya Rajkumar (she/her/hers), Low Entropy Volunteer Writer I have always been a very anxious person. It doesn’t exactly help that university life is very stressful and that for the last two years, everyone has been trying to survive a pandemic. Many people struggled with their mental health during this time, and unfortunately I was […]
