Woohoo, Boohoo

Woohoo: Ponytails

Fun, flirty and flouncy — the ponytail is a hairdo classic. Yank that mop up into a high ponytail and you’ll look like an adorable helicopter, ready to take off into a clear sky of sassy fashion. Try a low ponytail to resemble a sweet and secret seductive baker’s daughter from the Renaissance — you’ll woo knights and stable boys everywhere, and your father will make a ton of cash selling you for marriage.

The side pony-tail alternatively offers the look of an ’80s babe; try that baby out and you’ll be in for a night of Dirty Dancing and extravagantly dirty spandex. Why stop at one pony tail? Cover yourself in them! Become a contemporary piece of art by tying up your hair into multiple tiny ponytails, imitating the stark and bold fashion of a chia pet. There’s no way to go wrong with this baby. Go on, girl! Tie that hair up and look as charming as the ass of a pony.

Boohoo: Buns

What the hell is that? Is that a poorly made IKEA cinnamon bun plastered mistakenly to the top of your head? Did you actually put a sock on your fucking head? Do you have any respect for yourself? Probably not, since it looks like a dog turd curled up on top of your head to dry up and die and you still seem to think you look cute and ‘librarian-esque.’

The bun is the Greek tragedy of hairstyles. It’s a real ‘let’s kill pops and accidently get it on with mama’ sort of deal. Even the nursery rhyme “Hot Cross Buns” is weak, paling in comparison to the all-time classic “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.” Please do yourself a favour and abandon any form of spherical hair, and graduate to other more impressive geometric shapes — try a hexagon.

My anaconda don’t want none if you’re wearing a bun, hun.

StudyTok promotes a problematic approach to learning

By: Maya Barillas Mohan, Staff Writer You may have heard of StudyTok. It’s a niche community with guides on creating effective flashcards, instructions for prettier handwriting, and all-nighter study marathon timelapses. University life has long been romanticized online. Education is largely a path to a better future, but inspirational study content can turn TikTok into a theatre for classism and self-hate.  These videos are revered for their aesthetic, though they tend to centre social privilege under the guise of elite work ethics. The neatly staged videos suggest an irrefutable correlation between discipline and rewarding outcomes. Instead of encouraging peers, StudyTok becomes another place for the privileged to flaunt and attribute their success to themselves entirely. TikTok has multiple other toxic “sides” focused on the embellishment of...
