Why You Should Visit The Cooper Hewitt Museum
Lourdes Martinez

There is no doubt that NYC is one of the most cultural and artistic cities of the world. Sometimes you can feel overwhelmed by the offer of museums and art galleries. In my journey through NYC art scene I decided to visit the Cooper Hewitt Museum and I totally recommend it to anyone living or visiting the big apple.

The Cooper Hewitt is a museum focused in design and that is something that makes the experience unique. From the moment you get in the museum you can actually get the feeling that you are going into a place full of freedom, exploration and creativity.

These are the reasons why you should visit the Cooper Hewitt Museum:

1. It has an amazing location in front of Central Park in the Upper East. The museum's mansion has amazing wood architecture and big spaces that have been filled with innovative design pieces.

2. You can create your own gallery of the pieces you like the most. Once you enter the museum you receive an interactive pen. Within all the functions you can scan all the pieces you like the most. Then, when you get home you can get into a specific web page, insert a personal code and see all the pieces you scanned in the gallery.

3. You can create your own designs. Using the interactive pen you can browse different materials and forms in order to create different designs in certain screens. This is a chair I designed just for fun in my visit to the museum and which I saved in my gallery.

4. They have donation-based admissions on Saturday's from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. So you can have this amazing experience and save money. What more can you ask for?

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.
