Last week’s taste of summer transformed BU campus into an urban Pleasantville of shining faces and shirtless bros. This week the forecast will dip back into the 40’s and 50’s. It was great while it lasted. With the plummet in temperatures will probably come a plummet in moods all over again, as we near finals [...]

When I was in elementary school, I begged my parents to let me become a vegetarian, insisting that eating the flesh of an animal was repulsive. I was a mini animal rights activist. My parents, who grill steaks and bake chicken religiously, told me adopting vegetarianism was out of the question. Realistically, I probably could’ve [...]

Last night I attended a gala and was afforded the opportunity to wear a swanky black dress and a pair of sparkly heels. Amidst the stress of last week’s midterm assignments and race to spring break, we forget what its like to take our time pampering. During heavy academic stress, like finals period, sometimes we’re [...]

Spring break in college is associated with the tourist trap Cancun’s of the world, day drinking, shitty hotel stays, and bad decisions. While I envy the ambition and wallets (and perhaps, livers) of my peers who will be poolside next week, I’ll be someplace far less interesting. Connecticut. Being broke is the college way. During [...]

If someone looked at my recently added music and was made to guess my age, I’m willing to bet they’d think I was a twelve year old girl with braces and an iTunes gift card birthday present to blow. In reality, I’m a twenty year old with an immature taste in pump-up music that’s only [...]

Most weeks, by Friday (or other times even Thursday) we’re itching to go out. But sometimes the thought of leaving a cozy bed and being made presentable for a party is too much to bear. That doesn’t mean you should sit on your ass on your bed on your laptop on Facebook for three hours [...]

It’s not that I totally hate sports. I hate them, but not totally. I’m just really bad at them. It’s human nature to dislike things we’re bad at. My gym class days were horrible. I was one of those tiny, timid souls who preferred to watch the volleyball drop at her feet than bunt it [...]

Yesterday I did homework, went to class, volunteered, went to a club meeting, went to another club meeting in order to write about said club, came home, did more homework. I woke up this morning and did homework, went to class, went to a club meeting, got more article assignments for another on campus publication. [...]

They’re independent. Fierce. Fiercely independent. Sassy and sexy. They’re cute and coy. They play it cool, alternating cuddly caresses with cold shoulders. They also go to the bathroom in a box and don’t need to be walked. CATS! My roommate and I each have cats at home that we adore. If I’m single and middle-aged [...]

Yesterday morning, I sprang from bed like a giddy four-year-old on Christmas morning. My first Psychology of Personality lecture of the semester awaited me. With Professor Shim, at that. First semester of my freshman (or “freshpeople,” as Shim says) year, I took Psych 101 with Shim. I know that just about everyone loves a good [...]
