Art, Music, and More at Art After Dark by Anna Carlson — Cincinnati Style Report
Parking is free but limited and it is encouraged that patrons park in Eden Park or Mount Adams once the parking lot at the museum has been filled. Rideshare services are also a good idea as many travel to this event, and finding parking may be a hassle. Art After Dark holds live entertainment from local Cincinnati artists and groups. Each month features different artists that perform a variety of entertainment from spoken word poetry, live music from bands and musicians and dance performances. S
Opinion | Therapy has benefits for everyone
Unlike what is seen in the movies, therapy is more than just laying on a couch and talking about your problems—although that is part of it. Therapy looks different for everyone. For some it is about releasing trauma or healing from the past and for others it’s about calming anxiety or working through struggles. Therapy is designed around what the client needs and is unique for everyone.
We have all had times where things got hard. Some of us may be going through that now. Therapy is one thing t

Opinion | Clifton Court Hall is a wonderful addition to campus
Clifton Court Hall, the University of Cincinnati’s (UC) newest addition to its uptown campus, has been hosting classes for nearly a month. Because of the diversity of courses offered through the College of Arts and Sciences that are offered in the space, many students, including myself, take classes in Clifton Court Hall. I have grown to like the new building for many reasons.
I am a big fan of the natural light that the building has to offer. I have taken classes in some of the older buildings

You matter most: Journal your heart out
“Dear diary” is a statement many have written at some point in their lives, but the power behind keeping a journal can be underestimated. The ability to express our emotions through words is such a gift, because in doing so, we can release, rebalance and restore.
Finding a journal that is appealing is the first step. There are so many different styles out there and choosing one that suits you is the fun part. Writing becomes easier when you enjoy the space you’re writing in. If you pick out a j

You matter most: It’s time for positive self-talk
The way that you talk to yourself can shape your whole day. When the voice in your head is not in your favor, the day can feel hard to get through. That is why I believe positive self-talk can change your whole day around and give your life a lighter feel.
Positive self-talk has many benefits, including benefiting the relationship you have with yourself and others, improving your mental health and helping you get through daily activities more efficiently.
Negative self-talk can cause self-este

You matter most: Social media has changed the dating scene
With apps like Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), and TikTok, access to online communities and people is easier than ever. In return there has been a drastic change to dating. There are more options than ever which causes people to always look for better out there.
How does this apply to dating? Well with many people meeting online, people care less to look for a potential partner in the real world which is where genuine connection is found.
“It was a lot easier to meet people because we did no

You matter most: Everyone should meditate
As life gets busy and things become hectic, it is important to take a moment to breathe. This moment can be found through meditation. People may think of meditation as someone sitting with their legs crossed, eyes closed and thumb to pointer finger singing out a hum. However, meditation is much more than this, and doesn’t always look this way.

You matter most: you come first
As school begins, stress levels can rise. It takes some adjustment to get used to the new schedule and priorities begin to shift. One priority that should always be at the top of the list is yourself. It can be easy to abandon personal needs when things become busy, and that is why this school year you should prioritize yourself first. In doing so, all other priorities will feel easier.
Making sure there is time cut out for you to do the things you enjoy will help decrease stress as the days be
