The stars were never meant to be saved alone

#Refreshments: In the most literal and loneliest space, a man wakes up with no memory of who he is or why he exists there, unaware that he’s been sent on a mission to save a dying world. In ‘Project Hail Mary’ (2026), Andy Weir — the mind behind ‘The Martian’ — returns to the screen once again, placing humanity and beyond in the quiet, unforgiving expanse of space.

Man up, girl!

“Are you man enough?” It is a phrase often thrown around as a challenge that measures courage, strength, and confidence against a standard that has long been coded as ‘masculine.’ To be decisive is to be ‘man enough.’ To speak up is to be ‘man enough.’ To lead is to be ‘man enough.’

Passion deferred, not denied  

It begins long before graduation, sometimes in the middle of senior high enrollment, sometimes in hushed conversations during college application season. A selection of courses opens for students, weighed, and rearranged.

AI or not? The human battle for Filipino creativity

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer an experimental tool or a passing online trend. It is now embedded in everyday digital life, shaping how images are created, shared, and perceived. With minimal effort, AI systems can fabricate realistic faces, replicate artistic styles, and generate polished visuals without the knowledge or consent of the people whose likenesses are used to produce them.

Looking for: Concierto date!

Every year, these posts surface as Concierto draws closer—some looking for someone to be with just for the night, others hoping to find a connection that lasts beyond the event. With Concierto falling on February 13, just a day before Valentine’s Day, single students often feel mounting pressure—not because they’re excluded from celebrating, but the weight of expectations—from social media, peers, and even oneself—can feel overwhelming.

Love as taught by media

Love rarely enters students’ lives as something entirely new. Before it is lived, it is learned through screens, soundtracks, and stories that offer emotional direction that real life often withholds. Over time, these stories begin to shape how students understand love itself—what it should feel like, how it should unfold, and where its limits lie.
