I'd love to hear them. Especially for the following columns:

• Diss Track: Are there 3-4 songs that grind your gears in the worst way possible? Diss the crap out of them in this column. 

• Brew Crew/Vino Bitches: A fun, 150- to 350-word review of your favourite (or not-so-favourite) beer, wine, or other alcoholic beverage of choice.

• Noodle Nation: Who loves noodles? You (might) love noodles. Write 450 to 500 words on your favourite noodle (ramen, pho, other long stringy flour-y food) haunts for this column.

• DatApp: Have an app that’s been a game- or life-changer? Wax eloquently about it (or a few of your favourites) in a short 150- to 350-word installment for this column.

• Top 5: Top 5 study spots, places to cry in public, late-night post-exam diners...you name it, you can write a Top 5 on it! 50-200 words per Thing In The Top 5.

• Emoji of the Week: This one’s self-explanatory. Trawl your recently used emojis and sing praise about it and why other people should worship it as The Best Emoji too.

• Fashion Streeters: If you love walking up to people and asking them about their cool outfits, this one’s for you. Q & A format. Consider pairing up with a photo volunteer or taking your own pics!

• Doin’ You: Everyone has something they do exceptionally well. Wanna teach others your wizardry? Walk us step-by-step through the process of a master for this column.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Gateway line editor jobs have been posted!

 If you'd like to be next year's Arts & Culture Editor (it's A+ and I'd really recommend it), I highly encourage you to diversify your writing by taking different types of stories. 

If you're seriously considering applying, I recommend speaking with me, with Sofia (current News Editor and incoming Managing Editor), and with Oumar (current Online Editor and incoming Editor-in-Chief) one-on-one. It makes your application much stronger and is

essentially mandatory.

We'll want to see your ideas and what you want to bring to the position next year, should you be the one to fill it.

EP review: Harrison Brome's Body High EP

Okay, so I'm a HUGE Harrison Brome fan and we have a free advance copy of his upcoming EP. I have nothing more to say other than if you liked "Midnight Island," or love brooding late-night slow jams and hypnotic beats and like the kind of music that makes you feel okay with and even relish being alone on the train or in your roomon a Friday night, then you might like this. And you might want to give this young 21/22-year-old Vancouver boi's music a listen. And then review it!
