In February 2022, my graduating class moved our cap tassels to the left — signaling the end of our undergraduate study. Commencement signifies the beginning of life as an adult, citizen and young professional. For this reason, we are often asked if school adequately prepares students for the real world. But as a young person, I have a more pressing question: Is the real world prepared to work with us and the realities we learned about in school?

Over the past few years, Middlebury community members have become accustomed to the impacts of having a larger-than-typical number of students enrolled at the college — a housing crunch, packed classes and stressful course registration processes. Historically, around 2,500 students have called Middlebury home each year. In recent years, however, that number has crept up to more than 2,800.

Despite all its setbacks during the pandemic, Middlebury currently enjoys a lively and expansive artistic landscape, especially as it relates to the performing and visual arts — in part due to the diligence of its faculty, but more importantly, because of the student body’s perseverance and sustained dedication.

At Middlebury College, students have a responsibility to hold the powers that be accountable. The high turnover of the college community makes this task incredibly difficult: often, the institution is "let off the hook" when people graduate because new students are unaware of how the college has diverged from its tenets of social justice and equity in the past. We noticed this trend occurring with the name of our beloved arts building and felt obligated to act.

Oh, how great this could have been. The director of “Out of the Furnace,” a grimy exposure of industrial and moral decay in poor Appalachia, and “Hostiles,” a modern classic of the American Western, reuniting with the leading man who fueled those films’ searing power. This time, it would be a story with alluringly high prospects to shock and move, one involving a grizzled, 19th-century New York City detective who recruits a certain poetically inclined West Point cadet to aid his investigation of a gruesome killing on the grounds of the military academy. But “The Pale Blue Eye,” an adaptation of the acclaimed 2003 novel of the same name and the third collaboration between writer-director Scott Cooper and Christian Bale, never fulfills the potential of its log line. Intensely frustrating because of the proven talent and tempting source material that bore it, the film is a lukewarm thriller that fails to grip as tightly as it should, only taking hold in a third act that raises the lingering suspicion that this tale is tauter than it initially lets on.

By the end of the fall semester, winter break is much needed. However, the rest we enjoy over those three weeks can easily turn into boredom. A restlessness to get back to campus sets in even though students might not be quite ready to manage the stress of a full-blown semester. J-Term can offer the happy medium we need, a time when students can both satisfy the curious mind and continue to rest up for the spring semester that awaits. The continued reprieve from the pace of a normal semester combined with access to on-campus resources makes for a month of countless opportunities for academic, personal and emotional learning. So what were the most important things we learned over this past J-Term?

The Super Bowl Halftime Show is the zeitgeist of our time — the last true spectacle that can provide years of conversation fodder for people with even the tiniest pop culture inclinations. In September of last year, when Rihanna, one of the biggest artists of all time, was announced as the Halftime Show performer, I thought it was going to be the performance of a lifetime. However, if you saw my Instagram story the night of Feb. 12, then you know that I was severely disappointed by her performance. The long-awaited comeback of the artist with nine Grammys and 14 number-one hits felt less like a crowning achievement and more like a kiss goodbye to any dreams of Rihanna one day returning to her musical glory.

“Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.” William Shakespeare’s Romeo seems to have romance all puzzled out. His method goes something like this: find someone beautiful and, if they don’t love you back, find someone else who is even more beautiful, and surprise-serenade them when they least expect it.
