If you still haven’t seen Anne Hathaway’s latest work, the movie tells the story of the love affair between Solène, an art gallery worker, Hayes Campbell, the fictional band August Moon’s lead singer. The two meet at Coachella, the biggest music festival in the world.

In the first trailer, we see Solène trying to suppress her feelings for Hayes, convincing herself that she’s too old for him. However, Hayes unexpectedly pulls her in for a kiss, and this is where their journey begins. The two have to go through a few challenges to make things work. The book’s author admitted that the story was inspired by Harry Styles.

“Dance Before We Walk,” a song by made-up boy band August Moon, has been released as a single to promote the movie and features on its soundtrack. This makes sense since the band is being sold as “the hottest boy band on the planet.”

Anne Hathaway has been rocking Hollywood lately, appearing in films like Eileen and She Came to Me. At the age of 41, her career is far from over. Her co-star, Nicholas Galitzine, has been on the up and up as well, starring in hits like Bottoms, Mary & George, and Red, White & Royal Blue. 

A new trend has emerged in middle schools where students go to the bathroom to create TikTok content. Facing this issue, Southern Alamance Middle School in North Carolina took an unusual approach by removing the mirrors from its bathrooms. Les Atkins, the school’s public relations officer, explained that students were spending too much time in the bathroom on social media, making it difficult for others to use it.

According to Atkins, there were positive results after removing the mirrors in the bathrooms of the school. There was a noticeable reduction in bathroom visits and duration. This strategy seems effective at Southern Alamance, but some people are skeptical about its overall usefulness.

One parent believes the effect will be temporary because kids find alternative ways to indulge in this trend. One middle school teacher agreed with this opinion and pointed out that mirrors were actually very important for middle schoolers. She offered an alternative, pointing out that keeping the phones outside but keeping the mirrors in was a better solution.

Despite immediate resistance from parents and students, the measure was applied to some effect. The issue of excessive social media use at school is certainly there, but many parents oppose a complete phone ban due to safety concerns. According to psychologists, platforms like TikTok are addictive. They trigger a dopamine rush with their constant and unpredictable content stream.

It seems that while removing bathroom mirrors has prevented some from making TikToks, the core problem is much larger and hasn’t been addressed. Some experts believe kids have to be taught principles of self-regulation when it comes to technology use. That can be achieved when schools and parents play a role in guiding preteens and teens to make responsible decisions. For now, it remains to be seen if measures will be taken by schools across the country regarding social media use and if there will be any lasting effect.
