Picture arriving on campus for the upcoming fall semester. There are so many changes to formerly familiar buildings on campus, and you can’t imagine how it all was done in three months.

From fiddling with Garage Band in an Elon University dorm room, Tyler Marenyi ’13 – better known by his stage name, NGHTMRE – has from a home base in Los Angeles built an international following in the electronic dance music industry. Though the young graduate majored in finance and picked up an accounting minor, Marenyi grew disillusioned fast with his studies, which started to feel like a whole lot of going through the motions for the aspiring musician. “Every day at the end of class I was like, ‘I just want to go back and work on music,’” Marenyi said.
Wearing harnesses in public has never really been a thing, but it might be now. Though she’s normally known for her crop tops and classic silhouettes, Taylor Swift stepped out to lunch with BFF Selena Gomez in a band tee, short shorts, and—wait for it—a harness. That’s right, the “Bad Blood” singer added extra edge to her already kind of edgy look by throwing on a slate gray, leather harness. Swift played it off as a joke, saying, “I think you’re ignoring a really important point here… That my harness and I are always ready for a zip line/rock climbing.

Gone are the days of flowy maternity dresses. Kim Kardashian is showing us all the right way to do maternity wear, and the answer is in the crop top. Instead of giving into social pressures that expectant mothers should stay covered up, Kim K stepped out in LA yesterday, bearing her baby bump in a Balmain crop top and skirt combo (and effectively putting us all to shame). This is just one of a string of bold maternity clothing choices by Kim Kardashian, who recently sported a sheer, embellished Proenza Schouler gown and a skin-tight, latex dress. It seems like Kim K’s second pregnancy is just one fashion statement after another, so we can’t wait to see how she surprises us next.
Well Princess Diaries fans, it seems like we shouldn’t have gotten our hopes up after all. A source close to Disney reportedly told Entertainment Weekly thatPrincess Diaries 3 was not in the development phase, contrary to reports by websites like Tracking Board. To be fair, it seemed a little weird that Disney would release a third installment more than 10 years after Princess Diaries 2 was released, let alone nearly 15 years after the original film came out.
With the Supreme Court deciding on the Affordable Care Act’s future in the coming weeks, the majority of registered voters in North Carolina said Congress should modify the act instead of abolish it, according to an Elon University Poll released Monday.
