spectrum: lifestyle

It’s officially November. And though you might not be able to tell because we’re in the City and trees are few and far between, we’re almost done with fall. Because fall’s arguably the tastiest month, we here at Spectrum Worth It decided to conduct a fall desserts taste test, ranging from the cheap to the basic to the exotic.

From springlike dawns to summerlike afternoons to chilly evenings, fall in NYC is difficult to predict. Fluctuating temperatures are simply facts of life here , and it’s definitely a hassle to find the perfect clothing combo every autumnal morning. For those of you who don’t have the time to swap outfits to match the weather throughout the day, Spectrum’s got you covered with our top tips on how to dress for the fall in NYC!

With midterms upon us—but Halloween falling smack in the middle—we found the perfect way for you to celebrate. We have a horror movie recommendation for every CU major! So make yourself a pitcher of Devil’s Sangria and get ready to watch some truly terrifying movies tonight. You’re guaranteed to have a great Halloween but also maybe (but probably not) learn a little that relates to your major.

I confess: I haven’t run since when classes started. I went to Dodge everyday during NSOP, but I’ve always hated running on treadmills and find the small sweaty indoor track equally repulsive. But I’ve paid for my more sedentary lifestyle with lower energy levels and general grumpiness, so recently, I decided to do an experiment: to try out three runs and briefly reflect on my thought during each of them, because let’s face it: there’s no time better time than midterms to both literally and figuratively run away from commitments.

With Halloween just around the corner, Spectrum decided to expose the spookiest places in NYC to creep it real. Forget the romantic catchphrase “NYC is the city that never sleeps!” NYC is the city that won’t LET you sleep at night.

Dear Nussbaum & Wu,

I think we can all agree—there’s nothing more quintessentially college than midnight ramen. But what’s the best pre-packaged ramen in MoHi? Where can it be found? And most importantly, which of these ramen brands offers the most bang for your buck? This is Spec Worth It, and today we’ll be presenting three different types of packaged ramen at three (not too) different price points to find the best answer to all your late night MSG cravings.

Dear Absolute Bagel,
