Even at 66, Kelvin Sampson still knows how to have a little bit of fun. 

As soon as he entered the locker room after the Cougars punched their third straight ticket to the Sweet 16, Sampson ripped off his patented red Jordan polo, threw his arms in the air and began to dance — all while being doused in water by his team. 

His players were all smiles, loving every second of witnessing pure jubilation on the man who has transformed the UH men’s basketball program into force to be reckoned with.

“It was a good feeling seeing coach take his shirt off and dance,” said UH forward Reggie Chaney. “This is something we’ve been working towards all year and it’s a great feeling to just let it out.”

For Sampson, this moment was more than simply about reaching the Sweet 16. It was a celebration of all the injury-bitten, battle-scarred Cougars persevered through to reach a point every team in the country dreams of.

“We’ve had a lot of adversity with this group but they’ve never stopped believing,” Sampson said. “They’re extremely coachable, follow instructions. They’re a joy to coach so I’m really happy for them.”

One family

Everything starts with family within the UH program.

Sampson has built the program with his son, Kellen, and daughter, Lauren, beside him every step of the way. In the same way, everyone who enters inside the walls of the UH program forms a blood-like bond with each other, creating a family within a family atmosphere.

As a result, it transforms each player’s mindset because he is playing for something much bigger than themselves. They are playing for their brothers on the team and those that have come before them and laid the foundation for the Cougars’ success.

This understanding adds a little extra motivation every time UH takes the floor, especially come NCAA Tournament time as each player knows it could be the last time they take the floor with this particular group of guys.

“It’s our heart,” said UH point guard Jamal Shead. “We don’t want to lose and we want to win for each other. We love each other so much. These guys are really my brothers. This goes way beyond basketball. We don’t want to lose for each other. I don’t get this year back with Taze, with Josh, with Kyler, with Fabian. We just want to keep it going as long as we possibly can.”

Lose and reload

UH lost Brison Gresham, DeJon Jarreau, Justin Gorham and Quentin Grimes, four of the core guys that led the Cougars to the 2021 Final Four, over the offseason. Marcus Sasser and Tramon Mark, two UH guards, can be added to that group as neither has played since December due to injuries.

The year before, Nate Hinton and Chris Harris left. Going back even further, Armoni Brooks, Breaon Brady, Corey Davis and Galen Robinson moved on.

Even with losing so many key pieces every year, UH has not only still found a way to make the NCAA Tournament, but to also make deep runs in it. This is possible because of two words- Cougar culture.

Sampson and his staff are meticulous in who they recruit because the standard within the program are high and there are lots of demands in order to play for UH.

Sampson isn’t looking for the highest rated and most talented kids on paper when he recruits. In fact, Sampson said people would be suprised with some of the big name players UH has turned down over the years earlier in the season.

But the UH program isn’t looking to build a team full of big names or superstars. It is looking to build a roster of guys who fit the Cougar culture and fully buy in to the vision of the program.

“Our kids really believe in the culture that we’ve created here over the years,” Sampson said. “We’ve lost four starters every year for so long it just seems natural that we have a brand new team this year.”

While playing for Sampson requires a different kind of toughness than playing for most other programs across the country, each player that enters the UH program fully embraces it because it results in a lot of winning.

“(Sampson) just wants it for all of us,” said graduate guard Taze Moore. “All the coaching staff, they want it for all of us. They know who they are recruiting. They know what we can do and they just try to pull it out of us every day in practice, in the film room and even at 7 a.m. when we have to go through walk-throughs.”

Culture plays

UH has never been a great shooting team under Sampson but it still finds ways to consistently win because its players are always embracing the pillars of the Cougar culture: Defense. Rebounding. Making the hustle plays.

“There’s a lot of ways to impact winning other than making a basket,” Sampson said. “That describes our team in a nutshell.”

Within the UH program, things like being the first one on the floor after a loose ball, crashing the glass hard for an offensive rebound and sacrificing your body to take a charge are defined as culture plays.

These are the plays that electrify the Cougars, filling the team with energy whenever one of these culture plays is made.

“Whenever we watch film we do edits,” Sampson said. We always end our edits of our film sessions with culture plays. And everybody wants to be on the edits.”

This has been Sampson’s secret sauce for success since he arrived at UH and the results speak for themselves — three American Athletic Conference regular-season championships, two conference tournament titles and four NCAA Tournament appearances, including three trips to the Sweet 16 and beyond.

While the UH roster looks different each season, the culture remains steadfast.

“We got a brand new bunch but the culture never changes,” Sampson said. “Because they’re great kids and they’re high character kids they buy in. It’s never about them. Our program is always about we and us and that’s what happens when you have great kids.”

Dodie Rocks at the Union with Opener Lizzy McAlpine

 

On the North American leg of her “Build A Problem” tour, musical artist Dodie headlined at the Union Event Center on March 14, with rising, yet prolific, singer-songwriter Lizzy McAlpine opening the concert.

Cool Girl

Dodie, stylized in lowercase, is a UK-based artist who started their musical career in 2011, writing songs on the ukulele and posting videos to YouTube. Now, their channel “doddleoddle” has over 2 million subscribers, the same number of monthly listeners they have on Spotify. Their second album “Build a Problem” was released in May of 2021. 

This isn’t Dodie’s first time on tour, or in Salt Lake City. Traveling to perform their debut album “Human” in 2019, the artist got bronchitis before performing at the Depot. Apparently, 2022 is no different — the singer had bronchitis again on Monday. “Why is that?” she asked the crowd, to which Utahns were all too eager to reply about the poor air quality and elevation.

If I’m Being Honest

Despite feeling under the weather and carrying a mug of tea on stage, Dodie’s performance was unaffected and electric. On streaming platforms, their music may seem dulcet and soft, but their live arrangements amp up every aspect of their musicality. The harmonies, sung in tandem with long-time bandmate and fellow artist Orla Gartland, resonated through the hall. The bass-lines rumbled, the drums shattered, the strings took flight over the simplistic, yet heartfelt lyrics as Dodie herself jumped from microphone to piano to ukulele and back again. At one point, Dodie whipped out her clarinet, channeling Lizzo and her flute.

I never realized just how Dodie’s music is meant to be sung in a group setting. The genius of their writing begets crowd participation — songs like “Guiltless,” “Monster” and “Hate Myself” end in layering lines where the audience can latch onto a repetitive bridge while Dodie’s improvisation patter can dance overhead.

In the Middle

One of the highlights of the night was Dodie’s ability to interact with the crowd. Especially as an artist who has been so open about her life and identity online, songs like “She” and “Rainbow” spoke to the young queer individuals in the audience. “I’m going to ask a question, but I know the answer. How are the queer people doing in Salt Lake?” she asked, met with nothing but cheers. Salt Lake was so invested in Dodie’s concert that the artist commented on it, saying, “Y’all are definitely the maddest crowd.”

And the night wouldn’t have been the same without Lizzy McAlpine to open the show — the crowd was as excited for her entrance as they were for Dodie’s. I was introduced to the Berklee-trained singer-songwriter through her song “Apple Pie,” released on her debut album “Give Me A Minute,” before following her TikTok and diving into her discography. In anticipation of her third album “five seconds flat,” McAlpine sang several newly-released singles, including “doomsday” and “all my ghosts.”

McAlpine is a lyrical wordsmith and is mastering her own musical niche through haunting chord progressions and some of the most jaw-dropping riffs I’ve ever heard. I can’t wait to see how the energy of her live performances is transformed with a little more comfort with the crowds — she’ll be headlining her own tour soon enough.  

 

The energy that Dodie and her band bring to a venue is worth seeing. Simply watching the artist as she dances across the stage with fairy-like and fancy-free abandon before settling back at a stand mic and handing over her heart, feels magical, making one of the most heartfelt concert experiences I’ve had.

Anne Applebaum, Serhy Yekelchyk talk Ukrainian crisis, the problems of ‘no war’ ideology, in Emory-GIT webinar

In response to the rapidly developing crisis in Ukraine and Russia, Emory University’s Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies (REEES) program and the Georgia Institute of Technology hosted a webinar on March 14 to discuss the origins of the conflict and the push-back from the Ukrainian people fighting for their homeland.

The webinar’s lineup featured distinguished journalist at the Atlantic Anne Applebaum and Professor of Ukrainian History at the University of Victoria in Canada Serhy Yekelchyk. 

The conversation opened with a message from REEES Program Director Juliette Apkarian, who expressed gratitude to those seeking a cease-fire amid the crisis and providing humanitarian aid to those caught in the middle.

Professor of Russian History Nikolay Koposov then introduced Applebaum. Applebaum focused on highlighting the dangerous ideologies held by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who she described as a totalitarian leader, and the sinister intentions behind his attempt to overtake Ukraine. 

Applebaum further explained that after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, while the world was in awe of the democratic victory, a young KGB officer — Vladimir Putin — was enraged by this political breakthrough. Embarrassed by his country’s loss of power, his initial encounter with democracy would play a major role in his later decision to launch an attack against Ukraine. 

“He has said, since then, that this, the fall of the Soviet Union, was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the twentieth century,” Applebaum said. 

Putin views Ukraine “as an ideological threat to his system,” Applebaum added. “Imagine if Ukraine, democratic and prosperous, integrated with the West. If they succeed, then maybe Russians will say ‘Why can’t we have that?’” 

Ukraine’s insistence on democracy could result in an uprising in Russia. While Putin’s totalitarian position of power silences his people, there is still a chance that democracy can prevail and remove him from power.

Applebaum is especially frightened by Putin’s theory that “Ukraine is an entirely fake country.” While this claim may seem like a flippant theory, it uses genocidal language as a justification for his attack on Ukraine, Applebaum said. 

“If it’s not a real country, and it doesn’t have the right to exist, then it’s OK to kill lots of Ukrainians because they are standing in the way of the greater Russian state,” Applebaum explained.

Koposov also introduced Yekelchyk, who also touched on the concept of Ukraine as an illegitimate country. As an academic, this theory was not unfamiliar to him; it echoes the earlier thoughts of imperialist Russia. 

“In the nineteenth century, [Imperial Russia] considered Ukrainians a foreign invention,” Yekelchyk said. “It is a very recognizable concept of Ukraine being artificial because it was being built on a principle which the Russian empire rejected outright, and that was the principle of transforming an empire into a nation-state.” 

Although Putin holds this imperialist ideology, Yeklchyk said his logic represents a “historical misunderstanding.” The Russian empire’s distaste for nation-statehood is ironic since its refusal to become one caused the empire to fall.

As a final message, Yekelchyk spoke out against “abstract humanism.” In response to the crisis, he has seen individuals posting images on social media with the slogan “no war,” where individuals do not necessarily make a stance. 

“Abstract humanism doesn’t work in this situation because we know who the aggressor is, know the reason why this aggressor has arrived in Ukraine,” Yekelchyk said. “It’s not the issue of peace in an abstract world. It’s the issue of condemning this particular war.”

Since Ukrainians are fighting to maintain their political identity, Yekelchyk said that the conflict will likely escalate before simmering down. Nonetheless, Yekelchyk maintains that “Ukraine has the power to defeat the state [of Russia]” and is unwilling to easily give up their democratic nation.

“We need to understand that Ukraine is not only fighting for the West, but in fact, Ukraine is fighting for democratic Russia,” Yekelchyk said.

Edible Understanding: Ode to the Bittersweet Winter Citrus

Edible Understanding: Ode to the Bittersweet Winter Citrus

Photo of a citrus composite

Winter can often be dark, windy and cold. However, it is during these gloomy months that our brightest and sweetest citrus fruits flourish. Across North America, ruby grapefruits, navel oranges, tangerines, kumquats, lemons, mandarins, satsumas and pomelos reach their peak during the winter.

Stretched along the Saturday Downtown Berkeley Farmers’ Market, several ranches and farms line the street with their bright citrus fruits on display. Brokaw Ranch Company, Kaki Farm and Flying Disc Ranch are just some of the small farms I saw that sell citrus to our Berkeley community. 

“We got navel oranges right now, we have eureka lemons, meiwa kumquats, star ruby grapefruits, moro blood oranges, passion fruits. We have a really awesome clementine,” said Nina Jackson, an Oakland local who hawks for Brokaw Ranch, located just south of Ventura County in Southern California.

Jackson told me that farms such as Brokaw benefit from the climate, especially in Southern California. “It’s kinda just like the perfect conditions,” Jackson said.

Here in Berkeley, we are lucky to have our farmers market encompass a variety of farms across California. This allows us to have citrus year round and not just in the winter. “We are constantly growing, picking, producing, sorting, selling citrus,” Jackson said.

Nevertheless, winter is the best time to enjoy various citrus fruits. How can we use this seasonal product to both support our local farmers and to get us out of the winter rut? The possibilities are endless, but I offer a few: palomas, citrus salads and cakes and shortbread.

“I personally love to make cocktails with the grapefruit. … If you want to add a little interest to your juice or salad dressing, blood oranges are great for that,” Jackson said.

REFRESHMENT

Readers older than 21 might choose to start on their winter citrus journeys with a refreshing drink: a paloma.

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces tequila
  • 2 ounces fresh grapefruit juice
  • Juice of one lime
  • Teaspoon agave
  • Salt
  • 2 ounces sparkling water

Squeeze a grapefruit that has just begun to over ripen to obtain 2 ounces of grapefruit juice. Add the juice and an equal amount of tequila into a cup with lime juice and agave, then vigorously stir.

If you are feeling fancy, rub the rim of your glass with grapefruit juice or agave and dip it in some salt. Finally, place your desired amount of ice in your glass, pour your mixture over the ice and top off the drink with sparkling water. If you ever find yourself in doubt, just remember that this recipe has a general 2:2:2 ratio. 

Palomas can be as cheap as your college student budget requires them to be. Make them with a $14 bottle of tequila from Trader Joe’s, or opt for a nicer bottle of Casamigos or Patron Silver if you happen to be running a surplus this month.

Now that your taste buds are tingling and your fruit basket is still overflowing with citrus, let’s make something savory. 

SAVORY

A hearty citrus salad makes a great savory appetizer or even a meal all on its own. Ali Slagle, a recipe contributor to The New York Times, inspired me to pair salmon with citrus in her ginger-dill salmon recipe. However, you might prefer to use a different meat or a vegetarian option.

Ingredients

  • 3 pieces citrus (navel oranges, grapefruit, blood oranges, etc.)
  • ½ avocado
  • ½ bulb fennel or bushel of baby radishes
  • Splash of olive oil
  • Teaspoon ginger
  • 3 tablespoons chopped herbs
  • Teaspoon white miso (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked salmon, grilled chicken, roasted chickpeas, grains or roasted vegetables 

To make a basic citrus salad, I used one grapefruit and two blood oranges from Brokaw Ranch; you can, however, use any three pieces of citrus fruit. Slice the peel and pith off the fruit, but do not discard them. Cut the fruit transversely multiple times so that you end up with flowerlike rounds of citrus. 

Peel and slice half an avocado into eighths. Then, thinly slice the fennel or radishes for an extra crunch. Place your citrus, crunchy vegetables and slices of avocado in your serving dish.

In a separate bowl, squeeze the remaining juice from your peels and mix it with a splash of olive oil, salt, pepper, ginger, miso (optional) and your herb of choice. Following Slagle’s recipe, I used dill, but feel free to use cilantro, basil, rosemary or whatever tickles your fancy. This will be your dressing. 

Season and cook your salmon however you like — grill, bake, or sear it. However, if fish is not up your alley or is out of your budget, feel free to pair this salad with grilled chicken instead. You could also use grains such as farro and quinoa or roasted vegetables and garbanzo beans. Place your choice of add-ons over your bed of citrus. Pour your homemade dressing over your salad, and garnish with a sprig of your herb of choice. 

Et voila! You are a fancy student chef. 

SWEET

One can never go wrong with citrus dessert, be it citrus shortbread, lemon poppyseed cake, lemon bars or lemon pound cake. A personal favorite of mine is Claire Saffitz’s blood orange upside down olive oil cake — the bitter pith and the sweet syrup of the fruit pair beautifully. However, if you are looking for something sweet yet simple to put your winter citrus to good use, an easy citrus shortbread might be a better option.

Isabel Bollinger / Staff

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup rice flour, cornstarch or all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Zest of two pieces of citrus (lemon or orange)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup room temperature unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon citrus juice
  • ¾ cup confectioners’ sugar

This recipe makes about 16 squares of shortbread. Start by preheating your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and greasing an 8 inch by 8 inch baking dish.

Combine your flour with the salt and rice flour or cornstarch. If you do not have either of these on hand, you can make do with all-purpose flour. 

Zest your citrus into a separate bowl, reserving a sprinkle of zest for garnish. With your fingers, rub the zest into the granulated sugar. When you do so, the sharp sugar granules break down the zest, releasing its aromatic oils and filling the sugar with its flavor. Then, combine the butter with your zest-infused sugar. Mix until the butter and sugar mixture is light and fluffy. If you do not have an electric mixer, beat your sugar by hand until the sugar is fully combined or until your arm gives out. Then add a tablespoon of your citrus juice to the butter and mix it in. 

Next, slowly combine the flour with your butter mixture until the two are just combined. Press your zesty dough into the bottom of your prepared baking dish and place it in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes. When it’s done, the shortbread should be just golden brown along the sides. Before cooling, cut out the general shape of your cookies, then leave them in the pan to cool. 

While your cookies cool, prepare your glaze. To do so, take 1 tablespoon of juice from your citrus fruits, and combine it with 1 tablespoon of melted butter and the confectioners’ sugar. You can adjust the consistency of your glaze by adding more sugar to make it thicker or more juice to thin it out. 

Once they have cooled completely, remove the cookies from the pan, dip them into your glaze and enjoy your beautiful creation. 

By customizing the mixture of citrus you use for this recipe (I opted for a ridiculous number of lemons from Flying Disc Ranch), you can choose your own path when it comes to the flavor profile of your shortbread. Lemons offer a sharper and more tangy option, whereas the zest of an orange gives off a more floral and sweet flavor. 

Creating change within our food system, or even just contemplating our food system, can be daunting. However, it is important to find enjoyment in your efforts to create change — and there may be no better way to do that than eating the most delicious in-season produce and exploring new recipes to treat yourself to in the kitchen. Through educating ourselves and exploring seasonal agriculture, we can create a symbiotic relationship with our farmers, lifting our communities and our spirits as we enjoy treats made from locally-sourced produce. 

While these recipe suggestions may seem a little too complicated for your taste, Jackson reminded me that citrus fruits can be used with as much simplicity or complexity as we like. 

“They’re amazing and so versatile … even just for a snack,” Jackson said. “Anything you see here is just nice to keep in your backpack.”

19 candles: A personal essay

19 candles: A personal essay

Illustration of multiple iterations of a person feeling lots of powerfully nostalgic emotions as they sit around a birthday cake.

Kelsey Choe/Staff

Dear Madeline,

The time is 6:59 a.m. You are glancing at the time on your phone, the white numbers a bright, nearly blinding source of light. You are in bed, and the dark covers are pulled to your chin, soft fabric brushing against the tip of your nose as you breathe. The color blue holds your hand, the feeling of melancholy personified.

It is silent. You much prefer it this way — the way the world quiets down, the alluring daze of schoolwork and bright lights tucked away in a cardboard box, a symbol of the way the glitter finally settles in a shaken snow globe. Except this snow globe is your life, and it is eerily calm. 

Naturally, you think about your family first. About your mom and your dad and your brother and how this is your first birthday away from the East Coast. It leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. You think that something feels wrong, a little closed-off, a bit uncomfortable to think about. You think about that sweet potato cake that you love from Ellicott City, the euphoria associated with home-cooked meals and the way your mother’s perfume emanates from her smooth skin as she hugs you close. You think that maybe it would be nice — to hug her right now, to feel the cool sensation of her wedding ring pressed against your skin as you tuck your head into the crook of her neck. And you think about: home. The way it smells, the fingerprints on the wall and the broken trash compartment can and the mismatching colored mugs. There is probably kimchi in the fridge that is overly fermented, another chip in a drawer; but there is also a missing place at the dinner table. You think that it should be four plates instead of three and that there is nothing you wouldn’t do to fly over in this instant to finally come home.

“We want you to do so much better than we did,” your parents had said growing up, those words ingrained in your brain forever. You remember choosing to attend UC Berkeley, the pure sheen of sparkling pride in their eyes as they helped move you into your dorms. You did better. You are doing better. They did not warn you of this, though. They did not warn you of how sometimes you will cry behind Doe Library because you haven’t found a good cry-spot and how you will meet countless people and memorize countless names but still not understand why or how you feel like no one ever remembers yours. They did not warn you that while you do not have regrets about moving to California, you will sometimes feel like a shattered shell on a beach while everyone else collects whole ones. 

They did not warn you of how sometimes you will cry behind Doe Library because you haven’t found a good cry-spot and how you will meet countless people and memorize countless names but still not understand why or how you feel like no one ever remembers yours.

You miss them so much it hurts. It hurts so, so intensely, and you don’t want to get older because growing older means you’ll have to deal with it. 

Your heart aches, but it is OK. It almost feels like a crack in expensive china, except it is growing and growing and you cannot stop this inevitable sadness that explodes across the night sky like a cursed constellation. You are lonely, and your lips are tinged a midnight blue from sadness — but you are OK.

Lesson one: Loneliness is inevitable. It is not, however, permanent. Like everything else, it subsides. It fades. 

***

The time is 4:01 p.m. The midnight blue sadness is still here, a catalyst to these late thoughts that are crumpled at the edges and turning a different shade. You finished your classes for today, and your texts are filled with sweet messages and wishes for a wonderful, perfect day. I miss you, people say. When do you come back for summer? The sun is shining, and it is almost cliche how gorgeous the weather is, how wonderful campus looks when Sather Gate acts as a crown above crowds of students rushing through it.

You think about what you have learned, and you also say goodbye to 18. It is awfully bittersweet. You regret a lot of things in your life: how you handled saying no to uncomfortable suggestions, how you worked too hard or wore fashionable clothes to make people like you, how you bent your morals and beliefs to fit into this world. You regret the boy you kissed last summer and lashing out at your dad and you wish you had been able to be better at planning events with your friends to show them that you care much more than they realize.

But you have grown so much, and yet you don’t realize. The Madeline before would have died internally at meeting so many new people, and she would’ve avoided so many social events because of the anxiety that would well up, an overflowing source of stress. But the Madeline now likes to introduce herself at random moments; likes to hike early in the morning; likes bonding with other people because it makes her so happy. You are wonderful at smiling and checking up on people; you are wonderful at being honest, even if it’s a little too much in certain moments. Your personality is much stronger now. You are not so great at apologizing yet, but you’re getting there. It takes time, as all good things do.

You are wonderful at smiling and checking up on people; you are wonderful at being honest, even if it’s a little too much in certain moments.

“We want you to do so much better than we did,” your parents had said growing up. 

You think about this promise and continue on with your day. 

***

The time is 9:32 p.m. You are sitting in a circle with your church’s small group at the courtyard of Unit 1, greasy slices of Artichoke’s pizza soaking up napkins and nearly swallowing the thin, flimsy paper plates with the sheer size of it. Your hands are sticky, and there is oil underneath your ring, but it’s alright. The midnight blue fades into the same silvery tone as your jewelry, a warm, honeyed feeling lining the edges of your smile as you lean into the warmth of some of your favorite people. You facetimed two hometown friends just before this, and you haven’t felt like this in a long, long time — this nostalgia and bubbling sense of laughter, something so beautiful and rare that you hadn’t expected tonight. 

It is not loud where you’re sitting, but it is oddly familiar. You feel at ease, even with people you don’t know as well as others, and you think to yourself: I will find another home here in Berkeley. You think to yourself: I will think of having two homes, Maryland and Berkeley because my love for this place is greater than the passing fits of loneliness. The gifts you received sit to your right, and you keep glancing at them in quick moments, feeling the night sky open up and the starlight pierce through to your soul. 

You’re not eating sweet potato cake, but instead, it is a comically large slice of pizza. Strangely, it makes sense. Everything makes sense. 

Your grin is probably too large, and it hurts your stomach from laughing so much and doubling over, but it is real, ridiculously raw. Sugar lines your laugh. You miss your family, but you will see them soon, and this is enough. 

So here’s to epiphanies and accidents and terrible mistakes. Here’s to reading 60 books this year and laughing at weird jokes and giving the best hugs. Here’s to your faith and your mental health and your promise to study in all the campus libraries before freshman year ends. Here’s to spontaneous trips to San Francisco and exploring every inch of Chinatown and buying too-expensive matcha lattes. Here’s to lasting friendships. Here’s to you. 

And lastly, here’s to 19. 

Happy birthday. I will love you from afar.

From,
Home

10 Warning Signs You’re in an Unhappy Marriage

Being married to the person you love the most is one of the true blessings we have in life, yet divorce is still a trend in many countries. But how do people come to this point after long years together? The marital bonds should become even stronger between the two who are in love, so why do people split up? How can one notice the signs of an unhappy relationship and take action to improve them? Find out in our post. 

1. Sex fades away

The first thing that should make you think about miserable marriage is the absence of sex, especially if you used to have it often. Therefore, analyze your sexual life in marriage and ask yourself whether you are satisfied with the quality and frequency of sex, how caring and attentive your partner is, and whether you want to change anything. If either of the couples can’t even remember when their last sex happened, it’s one of the signs someone is unhappy in their marriage.

2. You don’t talk anymore

The second sign that your marriage is in trouble is when you notice that you lack topics for discussion. If you are not interested in one another, you will not want to share the details of your day: your ups and downs, accomplishments, funny situations, troubles, etc. Besides this, you may feel that your partner just doesn’t want to talk with you at all, e.g. even discussing the last movie they watched. What you can do about it is offered to spend more quality time together to have something to talk about. 

3. The humor is out of your communication

The next sign that should make you worried is the lack of laughter and jokes. Even if you were not married to a top TV comedian, you probably had a lot of positivity and humor at the start of your marital life. Thus, when it fades away, you can say that your interactions have become less productive and pleasant. If you don’t want your marriage to fail, think about bringing old jokes to your communication. 

4. You get irritated by everything they do

Living with the same partner for years helps us to know each other more and this can become a problem over time: you start noticing that the things that you loved about the person at the beginning of your relationship irritate you in the end. You may feel that you hate the way your partner talks, cooks, cleans up their table, and even breathes. What can you do about it? Probably, nothing when it comes to such an intense level of hatred. 

5. You feel abandoned

Another sign you should pay attention to is the feeling of neglect that your partner brings you regularly. But before you conclude that you feel quite lonely in marriage with this person and file for divorce online, ask yourself whether you make enough effort to communicate with them. Maybe, your husband or wife doesn’t want to invite you on dates because you are constantly dissatisfied with their ideas on common pastimes or deny their every step toward you. 

On the contrary, if you are the one to make attempts to diversify your everyday life with your spouse while they stay restrained, it’s time to have a sincere talk on where your relationship is going and whether you should stay together. 

6. Cheating happened

If either of you cheated on their partner and you as a couple decided to accept it and stay together after that, it is important, to be honest with each other. If you said that you forgave your spouse for the infidelity but cannot let it go, it means that it hurts you deeply. In such a situation, you can either try the family and marriage therapist sessions to build up the trust in your couple once again or break up with your wife or husband forever. 

7. There are no arguments and sincerity anymore

People often think that having heated discussions in marriage is bad; however, the absence of such talks is even worse. In the moment when you have no desire to discuss things and find a common language if your opinions are different can be considered the start of your relationship failure. The couple who is willing to argue has all chances to work all the problems out, but the couple where no one wants to talk anymore is doomed. 

8. You can’t commit

If you feel like a commitment to your partner has become an unbearable burden, your marriage is likely to need rethinking and changing. Although old monogamy may not be for everyone nowadays, if you believe that having one partner per lifetime is humble and respectful, you can try to live by such a standard. At the same time, if you accept the opinion that having open marriage may strengthen your bond with your partner and help you appreciate each other more, you can avoid divorce and improve your family life. 

9. You have different goals

At some point in your marital life, you may find out that your wife or husband has different values and goals. They can want to live their life child-free while you are dreaming of two kids, they can be eager to travel the world while you want to stay in your neighborhood for life, etc. The more drastic your differences are, the higher are the chances of your marriage failure. 

10. You feel that you are attracted to others more than to your partner

Finally, the last sign that should make you worried about the quality of your marital life is the stronger attraction to other people than to your husband or wife. Once you discover that you like flirting with other men or women more and dream about cheating on your spouse at least emotionally, it’s time to pay closer attention to your relationship. If you want to stay together for years, it is important to cultivate mutual admiration constantly.

Out-played and out-clicked. On Sunday, March 13, the competition at the Winter osu! Collegiate League Tournament was wiped out by the self-made, four-player “Berkeley Team A.”

The tournament, which happens twice a year over the course of a month, allows teams of two to four university student representatives from around the world to compete against each other in the rhythm game osu!. Berkeley Team A and Berkeley Team B participated in the Tier 2 grouping, and placed third and fifth respectively — a placement previous Berkeley osu! Teams had not been able to come close to in previous years of participation.

osu! is a PC-based rhythm game that came out in 2007, but only recently gained traction starting in 2019. It has quickly become popular for many users to use the rhythm game as a warmup before playing first-person shooter, or FPS, games. Although osu! has four different modes, the OCL tournament focused on its standard mode with a set map-pool, which features challenging “beat-maps” that require a variety of different skills. This includes raw aim/consistency, tapping stamina, tapping speed and different game modifications.

University student teams from around the world were separated into two tiers, T1 and T2, each with 40 different teams that were filtered out by qualifiers. These tiers were already predetermined by their in-game ranking system placement. OCL followed general osu! tournament procedure — double elimination, 2 vs. 2 and teams of four. Each round has a rhythm-map pool, from which each team is able to switch off selecting its preferred map to play in its match. The team with the higher combined total score on the map then receives a point until the match concludes.

Junior Anton “TheBushy” Than has been playing osu! for four years and has hosted tryouts for this tournament since fall 2020. Serving as the captain, TheBushy joins the rest of his teammates on Berkeley Team A — junior Bryce “Azurium” Wong, sophomore Rohit “girantinas” Agarwal and freshman Rocklin “Pebblin” Duong as well as at Rhythm@Berkeley, a rhythm-game-focused club. There is also a separate team, Berkeley Team B, which placed fifth, and practiced with Berkeley Team A.

Than, when selecting his team roster, picked with careful consideration. Aware that each of his team members had different strengths in certain abilities, Than constructed the team to cover a large majority of the skills needed in matches.

In previous years, Than’s team hadn’t been able to progress too far into the tournament, landing positions such as 32nd out of 64 teams. But this year’s winter tournament separated the teams into the lower and higher tier brackets, giving the team the opportunity to rank far higher.

“This semester, we seeded first in qualifiers, which gave us a lot of hope for going further than we did before,” Than said.

After plowing its way through to the quarterfinals, Berkeley Team A was put up against Purdue University Gold, who proved challenging for them with an especially strong player: “Unique”. “Unique” is notorious for their strength in “HD,” or “Hidden” — one of the osu! game modifiers that remove hit objects after they appear, increasing the game’s difficulty. Nevertheless, Berkeley Team A prevailed even with the close match. It then quickly defeated Trinity College Dublin and moved onto the finals against the University of Waterloo B, which it lost 2-6.

Amid the adversity, Berkeley Team A persevered. After MIT lost to University of Waterloo in the Grand Finals, Berkeley Team A brutally conquered MIT with a 7-3 win. Set up to be double-elimination brackets, the tournament then pitted Berkeley Team A against University of Waterloo twice more.

Than’s team won the first match 7-3, putting it in high hopes, forcing a bracket reset and pushing it to the final stage. A close game throughout, it ultimately fell short 5-7 against University of Waterloo, awarding the team second place in the tournament.

“I remember being a freshman and watching the OCL Grand Finals stream and thinking, ‘Wow, it would be cool if I played for Berkeley in this one day.’ It’s crazy how far we’ve gone, since we first participated in this tourney two years ago,” Than said. “It’s really cool to see how much we improved as players. Hopefully next year we’ll come back even stronger and take home first place.”

ODU Revised Mask Policy Following CDC Guidance

Last week, President Hemphill’s office released a statement revising ODU’s indoor masking policy.  As of Monday, March 14, masks are still required in classrooms, laboratories, health care facilities, and public transportation utilities.  For every other indoor setting, masking will be left to individual discretion.  

These revisions come in the wake of new guidance from the CDC released on March 10 and February 25.  While the CDC is no longer requiring masks on public transportation, ODU still is.  Additionally, masks are no longer mandated in K-12 schools, however, ODU is still requiring them in the classroom.  President Hemphill has stressed that ODU places faculty and student safety is the university’s highest priority. 

Per the CDC website, COVID-19 community levels are gauged along three different metrics: new case admissions per 100,000 in the past 7 days, percent of beds occupied by COVID patients, and total new cases per 100,000 in the past 7 days.  The classification levels are low, medium, and high.  ODU’s COVID-19 community level sitting is currently ‘low’.  

President Hemphill expressed that even these revised mask policies may change if the COVID-19 positivity rate continues at ODU.  The decision to alter mask policies comes over a month after ODU changed its vaccine requirements as the pandemic has now passed the two year mark.  The end goal would be a complete return to normality for Monarchs with masks being left to individual discretion in all settings.
