Sitting in Dash Coffee Roasters, Mary Mondanaro is beaming watts, enamored with life, and applying her berry Laniege lip balm. Of course, we’re sitting in Dash, because it is her favorite coffee shop in Iowa City and one that is often found in her vlogs. Her essential order? A cold brew with a little room…

30 Years After the Fall of the Berlin Wall: UI exhibit asks, “What Does Change Mean to You?”

Posted on November 19, 2019February 12, 2020 by Cassandra Bertolini

30 years ago, November 1989.

An Ode to Melrose Avenue

Posted on November 7, 2019February 12, 2020 by Taylor Sabo

There’s one place in particular that Iowa City forces an immediate physical and verbal response. Heads turn and eyebrows raise. It’s the immediate thought behind the word: tailgate.

“Who said looking good had to cost so much?” Although we’d like to go after the shiny pretty things when it comes to beauty products– we can’t always afford them. There’s choices we all have to make when we want to “splurge” on something nice for ourselves. More times than not, spending money on items…

How to Get Over the Post-Spring Break Blues

Posted on April 23, 2019 by Claire Harmeyer

The week after spring break sucks – there’s no nice way to put it. You’ve just enjoyed a ten-day escape from school and the thought of returning to class and exams seems impossible.

Student Guide to Iowa City: A Video Series

Posted on March 7, 2019October 11, 2019 by Rebecca Peterson

I absolutely love Iowa City. It has, without a doubt, become my home away from home over the past four years. I wanted to take advantage of my final months in this cultured town and capture some of my favorite napping places, restaurants, and entertainment venues. While these videos certainly don’t do justice to the…

Posted on March 5, 2019 by Rebecca Peterson

Ah, Friends. The 90’s sitcom that has taken the world by storm. Even though this show is “technically” before my time, I have never related to a group of fictional characters so much in my entire 22 years of life. I can shamelessly admit that I’ve seen each episode at least 15 times and I…
