Is the excessive use of material entities a must or madness?
Jannat Hussain
Camus once wrote that "the realization that life is absurd cannot be an end, but only a beginning"—a sentiment that defines Jannat's approach to both life and work. As an undergraduate studying French, Psychology, and Literature, Jannat thinks she exists in the perpetual state of creative confusion that Sartre called radical freedom, constantly moving between disciplines and ideas. She's also serving as Creative Director while collecting passionate collaborators for her passion project. You might find her buried in some obscure 15th or 16th century text, dissecting early modern literature, or yapping to someone about cinema frame by frame. She's equally likely to be writing—essays, fiction, criticism—whatever form best captures her current obsession. As an author and editor, Jannat aims brings an interdisciplinary energy to everything she creates and urges "In a world that demands you pick one thing, chose to embrace the multiplicity of intellectual life and build a space with others who feel the same way".
Hannah Maria Jess
Hannah Maria Jess is an Economics major and a writer exploring the duality of data and words, binding solitude and connection. Her work often balances her realist mind with her dreamer heart. Writing is her solace — detangling the knots of tension in her daily life while helping her make sense of the peculiarities she observes in people, places, and patterns. Inspired equally by music, films, and fleeting moments. She measures her mood in playlists and seasons in cinema — meaning she always has a song ready for every situation. Pretending Google Docs is a personality test and believing headphones, Spotify, and a messy diary full of odd metaphors are her true essentials. Currently, pursuing Economics while deeply engaged in literature Hannah serves as the editor-in-chief of the college magazine. She is developing her craft by publishing her works in several chronicles. Moreover, she enjoys publicly speaking - an extension of her childhood love for being on stage.
