Alexandra BaruchI accept the fact that I had to spend half a semester
piecing this magazine tpgether. But I think you’re crazy to make me write a paragraph telling you who
I think we (DEconstruction) are. You see us as you
want to see us: in the simplest terms, in the most
convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is: a brain, an athlete, a basket
case, a princess, a criminal, and more... Does that
answer your question?

I Wanna Be Where The People Aren’t:The Seven Wonder of Winter Session
Deconstruction 6Spring 2015 Spring 2015
Jennifer Staib
W
inter Session is a lovely opportunity,
particularly if you’re not a huge fan of people and you need to catch up on credits (or as in my case,
you have a serious condition of over-achiever).
As an introvert, I’ve come up with seven reasons to support my belief that Winter Session is a truly
fabulous time on the academic calendar.
1. Firstly, Winter Session is incredibly
peaceful. Walking around to classes isn’t a hassle because there’s no need for crowd weaving and ninja moves to pass the slow-walkers (you
know who you are). Plus, there are fewer people
around in general, so the probability of running
into someone you know is relatively low (which is
a win if you dislike acknowledging others whilst
striding to class).
2. Second, going along with the theme of
few people around, lines are shorter. I can finally go to Chipotle without feeling claustrophobic. It’s beautiful. And the Starbuck’s line in Smith? It’s totally manageable and you don’t have to hate yourself for wasting so much time waiting for
overly priced coffee.
3. Furthermore, whether you live in the
dorms or off-campus, the atmosphere of Winter
Session is completely different. In the dorms,
you can almost guarantee that more than half
of your floor-mates will be gone, meaning that there are fewer people using the bathrooms
and grossing up the place. In addition there
are fewer drunken shenanigans, so you no
longer wake up in the middle of the night to the
shouts of intoxicated individuals. Off-campus, it’s likely that your apartment or house will be less
inhabited than it was before. In my case, I had
my entire apartment to myself, and (don’t tell my roommates) I thoroughly enjoyed blaring One
Direction and belting the lyrics whilst dancing in
my Disney pajamas. I also enjoyed putting rotten
food in their sheets. (I’m just kidding, we have a very loving relationship). Anyway…
4. Next on the list is the fact that there are
only one or two classes to deal with, which
leaves plenty of time to binge on Netflix. I’ve done Winter Session each for three years now
(of course, I’m an in-stater), and I’ve only ever taken one class, so I’ve had minimal work each time (I heard that two classes can be a bit rough).
I say proudly that I watched a ridiculous amount
of Netflix, finishing several of my guilty-pleasure T.V. series.
5. Since Winter Session is held during one
of the coldest months of the year, it provides the
perfect circumstances in which to cuddle up with
a blanket and some hot chocolate, surrounded
by your best friends on girls’ night with nothing but Disney on the agenda. Not to say that this
can’t be done during the regular semester, but the calmer atmosphere is perfect for a delightful
night in.
6. Indeed, the peace and quiet of Winter
Session is irreplaceable. When it starts to snow
the campus is a freaking Winter Wonderland.
Picture a light snow falling all across Newark,
the street lights throwing a calm orange light
that reflects off of the snow, and a silence that is profound and beautiful… yeah it’s pretty darn awesome.
7. It’s really cold, especially if you have an 8a.m. This isn’t quite a wonder. This part sucks a bit, unless you’re Queen Elsa and the cold never bothered you anyway.
In case you can’t tell, I very much enjoy Winter Session, and I highly recommend it for you all to
try sometime. Though, don’t you all register for Winter Session at once…most of the fun is due
to the fact that none of you are here…
“There are only one or two
classes to deal with, which
leaves plenty of time to binge
on Netflix.”
“‘Uptown Funk’ marks a turning point in twenty first century pop music. DiscoFunk is making a comeback! We seen pop music of this sort since the late 1970s...”

l
Throughout the past few years, a lot of the monster
pop songs, as I like to call them, have been the
slightest bit funky and disco-esque. Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines,” Pharell Williams’ “Happy,” and Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky,” all of which were at the Billboard number one, are just a few examples. “Uptown Funk”
by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars is clearly the funkiest
of them all and could be on its way to surpassing the
popularity of the three monsters previously listed.
How come wherever I go, I hear “Uptown Funk” playing in the background? Don’t get me wrong, I love the song. But after hearing it on TV, in my dorm, in student
centers, on the radio, in coffee shops, and pretty much
anywhere else you can think of, I have noticed that
its popularity trumps that of most other pop songs.
The single from Mark Ronson’s latest album, Uptown Special, sat at number one on the US Billboard Top
100 for eight weeks, the UK Singles Chart for seven,
and is still the top selling track on iTunes. It also broke
other records such as being the most streamed song in
a week at 2.56 million.
When asked what kind of style Ronson intended for
the single, he stated that he loves real instruments i.e.
horns and bass guitar, but wants to play “great records
in the club that sound amazing.” That is the key to the
song’s success. It could pass as both a song college kids “turn up” to and a
track all the 70s afroDads shake their
hips with.
Ronson also mentioned in a different
interview that Bruno Mars – who sings
and plays drums on the piece – has
a certain energy to his performance
that can transcend the boundaries of

age and race. In addition, the
song’s bass player, Jamareo
Artis, who normally plays with
Bruno Mars, has a strong jazz
and R&B background; his slap
bass provides a perfect – not too
cheesy – tone and foundation
for the rest of the song to groove
on. But that is just my own
observation. You know a song is
special when both your younger
sister and your professor can
sing along to it…
“Uptown Funk” marks a turning
point in twenty first century pop music. DiscoFunk is making a
comeback! We haven’t seen pop music of this sort since the
late 1970s/early 1980s when
tracks like “Super Freak” and
“Brick House” held the number one spots. Ronson’s song, unlike “Happy” and “Blurred Lines” is completely funky. It
has horns, slap bass, the whole
70s package! Pop music is
transitioning from songs made
entirely on a laptop, to songs
made in an actual studio with
actual musicians and an actual
groove. I for one can’t live without the groove. Ever since
dubstep gained popularity, the
groove, which I am so fond of,
has been replaced with build
ups and “drops.” Those drops
are definitely fun to listen to, but when you hear the same
crescendo four times throughout
one song. it gets old. Plus, it is
hard to relax to that kind of house
music. It is much easier, more
fun, and more relaxing to listen
to the popfunk songs of late as
opposed to the ususal frat party
playlist.
Yet I can’t figure out why so many young people like Ronson’s funk
endeavor, Uptown Special. Funk
and Disco have been around for
so long, and it is strange to me
that only now with this album all
the youths are getting hip to it.
Perhaps people subconsciously
miss the authenticity of a real
bass guitarist playing in perfect
unison with a real drummer.
When two humans make music
together, there is subtlety and
there is slight error, but if those
musicians are connected and
talented, they will make errors
together. On the other hand, if
a human is making music with
a computer, there is no subtlety
and there is no error; there is
only calculation and perfection.
In today’s iWorld, I think we long for genuine connection; we hear
that humanity in “Uptown Funk”
and I hope we will continue to
hear it in the pop funk songs of
the next few years.

Things To Expect When You Travel With Your Best
Friends
Last winter break, I had the once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity to take a four-day trip to Nashville,
TN, with three of my oldest, craziest friends. For
the first time ever, we had no chaperones, no parents, and no explicit plan. It was just the four
of us frolicking about the bar scene, and soaking
in all the country music, culture, and laughs we
could fit in ourselves. Not only did I love every second of it, but I also learned some important
truths about the silly, accepting dynamic of best
friends on an adventure together.
Whatever you forget to pack, someone else will
have for you to borrow. If you can’t shake the feeling you left something essential at home,
don’t even worry about it. I ran out of eye shadow halfway through the trip, but I didn’t really run out of eye shadow, because I had three other makeup
bags at my disposal, no questions asked. My
friend, Julie, exclusively brought workout clothes
and somehow managed to dress appropriately
the whole time. What’s yours is theirs and what’s theirs is yours.
You will accumulate inside jokes beyond
comprehension to anyone else. For real, though.
While on the trip, my friends and I were basically
married to each other. We spent all hours of the
day and night stumbling upon random nuances,
occurrences, and strange happenings. There is
a line between what is funny because it’s funny and what is funny because of whom you’re with. While on such a trip, that line is absurdly blurred,
in the best possible way.
Each of you will claim a corner of the hotel
room to carelessly throw all your crap. Because
suitcases are small, and it’s hard to find that cute shirt you want to wear to dinner that night, and
it’s even harder to fit everything back where it was, your belongings will claim one corner of the
room. These designations will be unspoken, but
thoroughly adhered to, and beautiful through and
through.
You will pee in more restaurants than you will
eat or drink. As close as I am with my three
friends, we still had to work with four separate,
demanding bladders. Bathroom stops were
rampant on our trip, and often happened at the
worst, most inconvenient times. Once or twice
we had an emergency on our hands, and in these
instances, finding a bathroom became both an aggressive intense mission, as well as a bonding
experience. Nobody wants their friend to have to
hold it.
Naptime will inadvertently be scheduled into your

day-to-day happenings, and
that’s okay. Sorry, but college students are secretly adult
babies. With all the excitement
and late-night shenanigans,
crashing is inevitable. Obviously
you don’t want to spend the whole trip sleeping, but cut
yourselves a break. Friends who
nap together, stay together.
There will always be that one
friend who gets up early and
does productive things. Don’t try to understand her. She is a
Martian. Just let it happen.
You will take too many pictures.
I’m not kidding. Take pictures in the taxi. Take pictures when
you’re all brushing your teeth with makeup smeared all over
your faces. Take selfies with your food. Take selfies with unsuspecting strangers. Record
everything, because it really
does go by so quickly, and you
have no idea when you’ll all be together this way again.

Yes+:A Crash Course in Enjoying Life

Five days is not enough time to become enlightened-- this is something I knew fully well as I signed up for the YES+ program.Yet, when I signed up for this meditation workshop/self-improvement program, I couldn’t help but wonder how I will have changed by the end of it.
It was a unique experience. Every night we would meet up in one of the event rooms on campus. Huddled under blankets, we’d form a rough circle and begin each session with a discussion about the importance of medita-tion and reflection. Then we would perform a number of activities that were designed to make us break out of our comfort zone. The great thing was that everyone put 100% energy into the activities. During one session, we each had to take turns standing at the front of the room to teach our favorite dance moves to the rest of the people. What would have usually mortified me became something truly enjoy-able because of the positivity of everyone in the room.
I realized that I was getting such positive feed-back because I had completely let go of any self-consciousness. And that realization spurred me on to do even more ridiculous moves. I was like a fitness instructor in one of those cheesy exercise videos from the
eighties. I made everyone clap their hands, and bounce up and down, and skip while flapping their arms.
Yes, on the surface this looked like some silly ice-breaker exercise. It wasn’t until later that I realized the importance of the underlying lesson.
The leaders of the program had crafted an environment in which free expression was encouraged, not graded or judged. I’d never felt such high levels of energy coming from a group of college students. Usually when you see people interacting on campus, they’re us-ing their best nonchalant tones of voice and gauging how much of themselves they can reveal to another person without seeming weird. Suddenly, it felt like I was living two separate lives-- one as a partially zombified student and one as a free spirited member of the YES+ community. It was easy to see which one I preferred.
But it wasn’t long before I realized that the knowledge the program had given me about stress-management and happiness wasn’t an instant cure-all. I didn’t wake up suddenly the next day and feel delight at tackling the mound of projects I had to do. Nor was I im-mune to everyday irritations. But I was more aware. I realized that my negative attitudes

l
were limiting what I could accomplish. The problem was that it was so much harder to keep that high-levepositivity going when I was surrounded by people who hadn’t been part of the program.
It’s been months since that course ended, and even now I struggle to put what I learned into practice. I think the main chal-lenge is that this kind of learning isn’t just memorization-- it’s changing how you view things and how your mind functions. Sure, it was easy to be free-spirited and silly for a few moments in a welcoming community atmosphere. But on a huge college campus, where so many people are strangers to one another, it’s a lot harder to spread that feeling of community. This is something that we do not learn in school. We learn study strategies and things that are practical but, we don’t learn the im-portant things like how to open one’s heart to others, and find excitement in one’s work,
and not let school drain whatever may be left of that thing you call a soul. Although the YES+ program did not completely change my attitudes to-wards life, it did help me realize a lot of important things. It taught me how important it is to be encouraging to people and to allow free expression. Unfortunately, our society does not sup-port these attitudes. We’re taught to be competitive, and to size people up to see how we compare. We’re taught all these standards we have to meet inorder to be successful but we often end up miser-able. Before, I would have resigned my-self to accept that I can’t change society.
But after seeing how everyone responded to the YES+ program, I’ve realized that changes can be made-- but we have to put 100% into it or it’s not going to happen.
“I was more aware. I realized that my negative attitudes were limiting what I could accomplish.”

Louis C.K.:Your New Cynical Idol
Deconstruction 14Spring 2015 Spring 2015
By: Alexandra Baruch
When you have bacon in your mouth, it
doesn’t matter whose president.
C.K. reminds us to take a step back and enjoy
the simple things. Yes, the world is a chaotic
place. There are reasons to be anxious, to be
afraid, to curl up in a blanket, become a human
burrito, and spend a weekend in hibernation.
But there is a time and a place for that worry and
stress, and it isn’t every day. Now and then, we owe it to ourselves to take a day off. Completely
off. Not just by skipping one class and sleeping
in late, but by skipping everything, and doing
something fun. There are certain things that are
bigger than our stresses, like running away to
the beach, spending an entire day in bed, or
cramming bacon into our faces.
“I don’t stop eating when I’m full. The meal isn’t over when I’m full. It’s over when I hate myself.” If gluttony is sin, then call me a sinner. Sure,
there is something to be said for knowing
your limits, but when life gives you a plate of
barbecue, macaroni and cheese, creamed corn,
cole slaw, french fries, and sweet tea … self-
hatred is served for dessert (after the ice cream,
obviously).
“Everything is amazing and no one is happy.”
Truth. We can send text messages across the
country in mere seconds. We can have food
delivered directly to our doors. We can step onto
a plane, fall asleep, and wake up on a different
continent. But that’s just not enough for us. No one is happy, because our internet connections
are slow, our phones are two years old, and for
whatever reason the winter is cold.
“It’s kind of awkward to eat alone in a restaurant because everybody’s looking at me.” Everyone should experience eating alone. It’s liberating. They say before you can love another
person, you must first love yourself; there’s a mild amount of truth in that. Take yourself out
to dinner and conquer the awkwardness. Do all
of those little date-ish things on your own: mock
other diners, people-watch, stare blankly at the
floor.
“‘I’m bored’ is a useless thing to say. I mean, you live in a great, big, vast world that you’ve seen none percent of.”
This line is a little dated, given that the advent
of Netflix has put boredom on the endangered species list. Although that’s not the point that C.K. is making, it still works. How can anyone claim to be “bored” when there are approximately
one gajillion things to see and do? The challenge
of going one week without uttering the phrase
“I’m bored” is one that everyone should attempt. Channel your inner Jack Dawson: “make each
day count.”
“I don’t have enough time in any day to think about you enough.”
Illustrating his rare but riveting sweet side, C.K.
seldom delivers lines like this one, making them
even better. In a sea of cynical yet undeniably
true observations about life, dropping this heart-
melter shows the world that even under that
hard outer shell is a soft caramel center. In
other words, every so often it’s okay to melt for someone — show them that chewy center.
“Fifty books about Clifford the Big Red Dog,
and they all tell you the exact same story: “look
how big this dog is.” That’s it.” Whether he’s bashing children’s literature to make the point that children are a pain, or trying to convey that
unoriginality is irritating, C.K. is absolutely right.
Be it Romeo and Juliet, Twilight, or Fifty Shades
of Grey, they all tell you the exact same story: watch these star-crossed lovers fumble around
for a while. That’s it. In essence C.K. is reiterating and recommending a lesson brought to us by
Good Will Hunting: “I’d hate to be unoriginal.”
“I don’t care.” Sweet, to the point, and probably what you’re saying to yourself as you flip through this magazine — but that’s life and sometimes you’ve got to be direct.
“You don’t have to be smart to laugh at farts, but you have to
be stupid not to.”
Eshani Pandya
In this day and age of technology, virtually every-
one in the U.S. has either a computer, or a phone.
While we are busy working away, oblivious to our
surroundings, government agencies like the NSA
(National Security Agency) or FBI (Federal Bureau
of Investigation) may be watching and/or tracking
what we may be doing.
Rumors of this violation of the 4th amendment
have been circulating since the early 2000’s. Especially after 9/11, where the government and
the United States in general was on high alert for
security. Since then, the CIA (Central Intelligence
Agency) has been known to be use drones to track
the movement of Al Qaeda. The press first reported these illegal activities by the government in late 2005; in 2006, however,
there was a break through with former AT&T tech-
nician Mark Klein. Klein had been working with
AT&T for 22 years when a new hub opened up in
San Francisco on Folsom Street. As it was open-
ing, Klein received an email that someone from the
NSA was to visit their current hub on Geary Street. This is where Klein was first struck with the bi-zarreness of the situation and this escalated when
he found documents that showed that the NSA
was receiving access to massive amounts of email
and internet records from various telecommunica-
tion providers.
New pieces of information came to light last year,
when a former NSA employee Edward Snowden
leaked documents that claimed President Bush,
President Obama, their aides, certain Con-
gress members, and federal judges all knew
about this privacy breach. These judges
would authorize the government agents to
search for whatever they wanted, wherever
they wanted.
Drones have been becoming notoriously
popular through out the country. Drones
are “an unmanned aircraft or ship that can
navigate autonomously, without human
control or beyond line of sight,” according
to Merriam-Webster. This may be due to
their convenience, ranging from the size of
a model aircraft to a full sized jet. The FAA
(Federal Aviation Administration) is in charge
of regulating these machines, and in past
years have been issuing more and more
certificates. These certificates can cover multiple flights by more than one aircraft in particular areas. Many states have taken to
enacting laws regulating the use of drones
in sovereign skies. Many Police Stations
have also been applying to the FAA to fly drones around their designated areas—
some cities to begin doing this are Miami
and Seattle. Homeland security claims to use these drones for disaster relief, like wild
fires, flooding, etc. While there may be some legitimate reasons for these drones to by
flying in the sky, are there other reasons that include American’s privacy? Like regular day-to-day Americans, the
government has been taking advantage of
the technology available to us Americans.
This is all good and well until the issue of
our privacy comes up. The government may
be taking technology to the next level, by
keeping our text message, email, and Inter-
net search records, along with spying on us
through the use of drones.
So the next time you are on your laptop
browsing, know that everything you are
seeing or doing could be being seen by a
government official from the NSA too.

How To Get
Away With An
Amazing ShowTiona Coleman
As I constantly contemplated the topics in
which I could discuss in order to create a
decent article, my heart kept reverting back
to Thursday, February 26. Particularly, that
Thursday evening when the season finale of How To Get Away With Murder aired. To say this show contains a surplus of interesting
plot twists, and drama that at times seem
unfathomable would be a complete
understatement. The first ten minutes of the very first episode contained just about the same amount of drama that could occur in an
entire season of a series. The show received
rave reviews from various outlets, such as
USA Today, Entertainment Weekly, Boston
Herald, and many more. Week after week, the show continued to get more exciting
and scandalous. While I would not ordinarily
tune into a show of this caliber, I can say it
definitely captivated me and never seemed to disappoint.
As a general synopsis, the core of the
show revolves around the personal and
professional life of criminal law professor,
Annalise Keating. The course that Annalise
teaches at the fictional Middleton law school is entitled “How To Get Away With Murder.”

Annalise selects five of her best students to endeavor on
the opportunity to work for her
law firm. The students take on the task of helping Annalise
with various clients, while at the
same time trying to solve the
mystery of who was responsible
for the recent murder of a
student at the school.
Along the way, we gain insight
on various scandals and
infidelities that are occurring with nearly all of the main
characters. One of the most
important scandal arises from
Annalise and her husband.
Annalise is married to a fellow
professor at the law school,
Sam Keating. It is discovered
that Sam was involved in an
affair with his student. This
student just so happens to
be the same student that was
murdered. Over the course of
the season, enough drama to
last me for a lifetime occurs. The
show initially opens with one
murder, but it ends with three.
And to top that off, everyone
involved in the murders are
never caught!
The show generally receives
8/10 stars by critics. Personally,
I would give the show 9/10
(just so I do not set the bar
too high for the first season). While the show may not be
completely probable with every
scenario, the writers definitely have enthralled an audience.
The acting by lead role, Viola
Davis, is phenomenal and
the supporting cast is very
convincing. The show contains
so many shocks and twists that
one must only watch to fully
gain an understanding as to
why I am still processing what
happened four days after the
finale. And if you are wondering whether or not the show
actually teaches someone how
to get away with murder… It is
too early to determine.
