Hello and welcome to the 2022-2023 school year at UCI! The staff and creators of NAR proudly present our first creative works contest of the year. Our theme for the Fall Quarter will be “Wonder/Wander”! With our new theme, we encourage you to send in your creative works about anything that sparks your imagination, inspires you to explore, and reflect on what makes you wonder about the world. Any submissions are welcome regardless of correspondence to the theme, but those eligible will be submitted to the contest.
To submit your works, please fill the contest form, or email your works to uci.nar.chc@gmail.com before the deadline of Friday, November 11th at midnight. We hope to see your works, and are excited to see how you take on this theme!

Happy Fall! The NAR Staff

California Gurls: An Anthropological Study

by Leave a Comment

David Henne’s hilarious article written from the point of view of an anthropologist studying Ke$ha was featured on the immeasurably awesome McSweeney’s Internet Tendency in August*. It seemed a fitting response to the dramatic reading of Tik Tok performed by Robert Simpson at last year’s CHP Variety Show.

Prepare to lose your afternoon exploring McSweeney’s. Seriously. It is that good. And, if you weren’t aware, McSweeney’s is a publishing house established by author and all-around cool guy, Dave Eggers. He also runs the literacy project 826 Valencia which publishes an annual Best American Nonrequired Reading volume that will honestly knock your socks off.

Anyway, please read Henne’s article on California Gurls. You will laugh…I promise.

“Aaoaoao oh aoaoaoa!”
