I don’t know if you guys have heard but God, It’s brutal out here!

As the executive director of the Kaplan Institute here at the Illinois Institute of Technology, Dr. Maryam Saleh has the major goal of guiding Illinois Tech students to become Chicago’s next leaders and entrepreneurs — which comes with the understated goal of connecting students to tech entrepreneurs and careers in the city to reduce the brain drain of students leaving for Silicon Valley and elsewhere on the coasts.

The long-anticipated album from Lil Nas X has finally arrived. It officially dropped at 12am EST, Friday, September 17. So, I was up at 11pm CST waiting for it to drop. I had high hopes for “Montero,” and I am glad to say I was not disappointed.

The Illinois Tech student community endeavors to be a welcoming and inviting home to its diverse population. To that end, the students of Illinois Tech have repeatedly asked for support by providing gender-neutral options within the campus residence halls. Such options are necessary to improve the quality of life for many students, including our gender non-binary peers, for whom living in gendered facilities is a source of dysphoria.

Dan told me to make a playlist of a genre I don’t listen to much. So I drank a bit of pumpkin ale and made this playlist. Enjoy these City Pop songs, full of nothing but vibes.
