Tis the season to either gorge yourself with pumpkin spice or scare the sh*t out of your best friends. Us Navigators decided we couldn’t choose and went with both instead. We invite you to trick or treat with us as we cover everything from housing, the Internet’s hidden realms (and scams), sweet treats, and your new fav Halloween mixtape. Trick or Treat?

Here at The Nav, we’ve done everything in our creative power to dispel the darkness that November brings. Us Navigators went a little “wild” and created content to rid you of end of semester blues, spark some fire in your soul, and give you a bit of a chuckle. Please enjoy book reviews on female rage, nature bathing in all dimensions, travelling on a plane (and a sailboat), and physically getting away from our problems (aka hiking).

Hey Siri, play “Dreamer” by Hilary Duff. (If you don’t know that song, I don’t like you.) Kidding! Here at The Nav, 2024 is all about self-care: setting new goals, creating better sleep habits, and taking the time to watch the clouds go by. Put your sleeping mask on for bedtime story vibes and wild rides as we explore subconscious symbols, dream jobs, that railway we really need on the island, and some futuristic art.

It’s that mushy-gushy time of year again–emotions are running rampant, petals are hitting the floor, and stores are suddenly running out of all things sweet. Now, if you need content that compliments your vat of ice cream, we’ve got lovebirds, villainous valentines, and cinnamon hearts we keep going back to—no matter how much they burn.
XOXO – The Nav.

Hey ChatGPT, can you tell me what this issue is about? With just a few weeks left in the semester, our circuitry is fried, so we’re letting the robots take over. Cue the widespread panic and destruction. Just kidding. How ‘bout some fun content instead? In the last issue of Volume 55, we bring you Alexa, AI fashion tips, and the future of storytelling—and that’s just the tip of the digital iceberg.
