Why You Should Go To The MoMa This Spring
Sophia Isabel Lebowitz 2016

With Spring officially in the air its time to get out and go do all the things you talked about doing when you were cooped up inside for the (very brief) Winter. Although museum-going is an indoor activity, the MoMA is a great place to go in the spring because of its great outdoor garden, many windows, and proximity to Central Park (picnic season is upon us). It is free with your NYU ID and is a wonderful place to soak up some culture after you soak up some sun.

Currently, the museum is featuring Edgar Degas' A Strange New Beauty which is must see if you are a fan of Degas famous work or just someone who likes to see art in process and in execution. In this exhibit, Degas' sketches are shown beside his finished pieces in different antique looking frames. The dim lighting and cobalt blue walls give the room a nice ambiance and make you feel like you are existing at the time these wonderfully detailed work of art were created.

Another notable exhibition is Projects 102: Neïl Beloufa. The exhibit is open until June 12th and is a part of the Elaine Dannheisser Projects Series. This is the first solo New York exhibition for the emerging artist and really showcases the modern digital style. The exhibition has a video playing through out (People's passion, lifestyle, beautiful wine, gigantic glass towers, all surrounded by water (2011)) and the images are purposely obstructed by different hanging transparent screens and surrounded by familiar objects from squished cans to Friends DVDs.




If these two exhibitions don't entice you enough, the permanent collection at the MoMa is always amazing and there are plenty of other work of modern art that can peak everyone's interest. So next time you are planning a nice spring outing, be sure to put the MoMa on your itinerary.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
