Roar Student Magazine: September-December 2021 Issue

PREFECTS' PICKS Moneek (Innovation & Academics): One of my favourite albums ever is Punisher by Phoebe Bridgers. It's a pretty slow album and the lyrics are brilliant, and Phoebe has such a beautiful voice. My favourite songs are 'Halloween,' 'Graceland Too,' 'Savior Complex,' and 'Punisher,' but every song is great, this is a no-skips album for sure. It also feels perfect for fall and winter, listening to the album while it's raining is a 10/10 experience.

Jonah (Innovation & Academics): Rubinoos - I love music that makes me think, reflect and cry as much as the next guy, but sometimes IB gets me down, and then I just want some vibey tunes to cheer myself up. One album which always gets me that kick is the Rubinoos by (this isn’t a typo) the Rubinoos. It’s very bubblegum pop meets Buddy Holly, and although I’d be pleasantly surprised if someone told me they thought it was wellmade, it still absolutely slaps. Highly recommended!

I’d suggest listening to it in order, but that’s just me, I’m not your dad.

Georgia (Action and Wellness): Halloween is over which officially means it’s Christmas season! One of my favourite ways to get into the Christmas spirit is by watching Christmas movies, especially Elf. It is a fact that Elf is the best Christmas movie and I cannot recommend it enough. It has all the right touches of humour, nostalgia, horrible singing, a heartwarming ending, and Will Ferrell, making it the perfect movie for a cold winter day. Also, there’s a talking narwhal.

What’s not to love?

Harjunn (Action and Wellness): Chicago Med - Recently I started getting into the medical genre of TV shows and I do not regret it at all. This show is nothing like Grey’s Anatomy (which is good in my opinion). You go on a journey with different types of medical professionals such as cardiologists, pediatricians, emergency medicine doctors, nurses and psychiatrists and more. This show does not hide what emergency medicine entails and you empathize with all the people who work there. If you want to see a show purely about medicine, you’ll love this show.
